We have our eggplants which have started to have fruits,and this will help to make balanced diets.
Is there anyone having much experience in growing them such that we can keep on sharing with each other?
And who knows the food nutrients that can be gotten from them?
Please feel free to share with me.

Moral Injury and growing interest in organic farming.

I was reading Growing Communities' weekly veg scheme email, and I was surprised to learn that their prices haven't been affected that much by the US-Iran war. The simple reason is that organic farming doesn't use synthetic nitrogen fertilisers, which are made from fossil fuels. This article goes into more detail: https://www.sustainweb.org/news/apr26-organic-food-iran-war/ #organicFarming

The organic farming sector remains resilient despite the US and Israel's conflict with Iran, which has disrupted oil, gas, and fertiliser supplies. However rising fuel and packaging costs are still expected to increase consumer prices.

Now you see me smiling, standing in such a beautiful place, and you might ask what is making me smile. I think I can just stay quiet and let nature speak for itself.

The rich land, the crops growing in it, and the cool #environment will give you the real and satisfying answer.

What do you think? 😊

We don’t grow food by hope alone—but by sweat, resilience, and belief. Today, our farming work at Young Environmental Conservation Initiative is at risk. Without land, there is no planting, no harvest, no hope for those who depend on us. We urgently need €94 to re-rent land and continue this season. Stand with us—your support today keeps this work alive.
