Hi again, you wouldn't have to start the project. Just let the school know of the idea and that you would be an interested purchaser and others that are interested in buying from the school. In Canada people cannot assist in school projects until they have been cleared of 2 types of criminal record checks - its a lengthy and costly process. It may be the same in the US.

As far as becoming centred - oh yes big time. If I'm not then I resent the seed instead of becoming one with the seed! You see I know it will invite weeds to come and live with it so I must accept it for all its goodness and badness - heehee - just a little humour. I had one customer say to me last year "You won't be open tomorrow morning (Sunday) you have to go to church don't you?" I told her "God no - I pray in my garden on my knees everyday - God get rid of these weeds!"

Seriously though, yes I find becoming mentally ready for the season necessary for the ability to enjoy it peacefully and harmoniously instead of viewing it as hectic and chaotic.

That is a good idea! Don't know that I have the wherewithall to start
another project, though, if you know what I mean.

We are starting a natural foods cooperative in our region, and I am very
excited about it! But boy, what a lot of work!!!!! The plan is to have it
up and running before the growing season is heavy upon us, although it is
starting any day now - I am waiting until I am centered enough to start
planting the onion seeds. Does anyone else try to start their seeds with a
certain mental/spiritual energy?
