I am offering to give away some herbs from my surplus. I have a number of herbs by my garden that I can share and give away. If you bring a small pot/pots and use social distancing with masks, I am happy to dig some out for you to take home for your garden. You can ask ahead what herbs I have to share. I also have some rhubarb to share. You would need to bring a bigger pot for rhubarb. This would be by appointment only.

I am happy to announce a garden tour opportunity from July 19th to July 31st.
I have a large garden and I will provide tours with social distancing and people wearing their masks. This would be only by appointment and include a number of individual tours for one to a few people at a time. The tour would feature how I use my garden to feed us GF food. It might be fun, interesting, and provide information on providing GF food from the garden to the table, from breakfast to supper, including putting up for the winter. Recipes that are requested could follow in an email.
Please call or email for an appointment telling an exact time and day that works for you choosing from July 19th to July 31st for the garden tour, if you are interested in attending.

For the garden tour to work, people must be willing to follow Covid-19 guidelines. If you plan on coming and not follow these guidelines it will not work or be safe for others and you will not be able to stay. The guidelines are simple and straightforward with wearing your mask and staying over 6 feet apart. If you have symptoms of Covid-19 or have been doing something that puts you at a clear risk of carrying Covid-19, do not come.
For the garden tour I also request that you avoid wearing toxic scents, such as the use of dryer sheets, scented laundry detergents, perfumes, or essential oils as they make me react as if I have eaten gluten, making for leaky gut. See the gaps.me books for more information about that.
