Hi Folks,
Summer storms are breaking up our hot days with booming thunder and pouring rain! As the monsoon approaches, we're reflecting on the completion of our first whole year - through all seasons - and feeling so much gratitude to all of you that have supported us!
We're turning over the garden beds and layering them with gober (cow dung), fallen leaves and our crop biomass, knowing that the mighty monsoon will transform this inert material into rich, earthworm-filled humus come September. Less time in the farm means more time revving up our website, this newsletter and hosting lots of 'Radical Self-Reliance' themed online workshops.
This is our first newsletter :) You are receiving it as a huge thank for your participation in The Odd Gumnut community! Future newsletters will arrive monthly with tips and resources for empowered, down to earth, sustainable living - in the kitchen, the household and the garden. Up next month: seed saving guides & garlic brined okra!
With gratitude as bountiful as our summer basil crop,
Laura and Kunal Khanna
