Packed up another round of free seeds to people who missed our soft deadline of end of the year. They will get two varieties, not four. After this, we will send free pigeon pea seeds if we receive a self-addressed stamped envelope. Send to: Blue Kitchen Inc, PO Box 4, Goldenrod, FL 32733.
We don’t just grow outside. Small hydroponics changes the vibe in a room and makes fresh herbs so easy to access in the kitchen. #gardentherapy #hydroponics

Going to try growing some coffee plants which take a long time to get to maturity. Soaking them for easier germination leeches out a blue-green color. It’s the beginning of germination with oxidative state changes as I understand. #growfood #permaculture #foodforests #coffeeplants #botany

We have grown our following to more than 700 organically on FB, had more than 500 sales on Etsy to support our seed giveaways and are hoping for some love on Bluesky to give us a trusted platform. We hope you will share our posts and help us. We have never bought an ad and don’t plan to. #foodforest

We will have small 8-page ‘zines available in two different series —- one series related to gardening and the other called The LPN Chronicles, which will discuss the “how-to” and “why-to” of some basic hygiene and bedside care topics. Tell us what you think. #permaculture #gardentips #homehealth
