At the πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦London food bank we have 14 raised beds grown by different people like a tiny community garden, last night somebody did an aggressive harvest in most beds breaking branches and uprooting complete plants, the worst part is that the produce was left there and spoiled. #ldnont

So Sorry for the lack of audio editing skills, I'm working on it.

The Wsib community garden is fenced-in and getting ready to grow, new volunteer opportunities soon to come.

President Gabriel Boric of Chile posted an image of his official state dinner on Japan, with a Pikachu theme food.
Boric also said he unfortunately couldn't get the ending of Hunter X Hunter from Togashi.

What's not to like about strawberry spinach, native to north America, edible leafs and strawberry looking fruits and also if you forgot your make up bag it can be use to add color to your lips πŸ’‹

Do you know how much CEO pay has skyrocketed since 1978?

100%? 500%?

Try 1,085%

Meanwhile, the $7.25/hr fed. minimum wage hasn't budged in 15 years and the tipped min. wage has been $2.13/hr since 1991.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Yesterday we worked hard on cleaning up the aftermath of the Strom that hit Southwestern Ontario, we lost a greenhouse used to host our clients and a tree branch that fell over our fence.

At the back of the greenhouse we setup a greenwall, it uses the footprint of 30 regular pots, but since it grows up (a 3rd dimension), its grows up to 400 plants.... and looks awesome πŸ’š
