From the Lips of Lew:
monday morning i found what appeared to be a good amount of lima beans which should be ready or burnt to hell and gone by friday. we'll see. they sure taste good though all nice and fresh. be ready to freeze some collard greens. i've got a bunch of them along with a smaller amount of kales. anaheim peppers are making it through the heat and my sweet gnarly and knobby heirloom 'maters are still yielding, though much less. i'll have the great little cherry tomatoes as well. bring ice!"

Up-coming Urban Homesteading Class:
Strange Brew: Kombucha “mushroom” Tea
*Tuesday, August 31, 7-8:30 pm at the BADSEED Market, 1909 McGee, KCMO, 64108
The Chinese called it the “Immortal Health Elixir” because they believed Kombucha balanced the Middle Qi (Spleen and Stomach) and aided in digestion, allowing the body to focus on healing.
Join BADSEED Farmer, Brooke Salvaggio, in a relaxing evening sipping “brew” and learning the art and magic of making Kombucha tea.
Students will take home their very own Kombucha culture and written instructions for care and brewing techniques.
*If taken good care of, your Kombucha “mushroom” will accompany you on life’s many journeys and spawn “kombucha babies” to give to your friends!!
Cost of Class: $25
