 kamutgrass
If you got a shot of Kamutgrass juice last year from me at BadSeed you know what an energy boost and detoxifier Kamut juice is. We will be offering a Kamutgrass CSA this year. Get a flat every week and give your immune system all the vitamins, proteins, minerals, enzymes, chlorophyll and antioxidants needed. to take you to the next step in your quest for optimum health. Just $12 weekly for fresh organic Kamutgrass. Other organic grains and blends available.  Eagle over Line Creek I’ve been seeing a flock of bald eagles soaring and diving in the Line Creek valley and at Platte Prairie Farm. Both were homes to early farmers. Near my home the Nebo Hill People lived, hunted and farmed six to eight thousand years ago. The Hopewell culture, People of the Black Sand lived in a village along Line Creek over the hill from me. I feel this connection when I work my soil and plant food for my community. Seeing the wide winged eagles really brought this home again.
 Using edge in a keyHole potato bed
Had one of those DUH moments last Saturday at Creekhouse Organic Community Garden where I have a No-Till plot. Toby and I were preparing to plant potatoes so we picked out the spot. I looked at the neat rows we had planted last year to the left and the three Sisters Squash patch on the right and knew I didn’t want to plant in straight rows ever again. Habits developed over many years are hard to break. I have been planting in straight rows for thirty nine years. Mother Nature said “wake up my boy, do you see me using any straight lines around you? Well !” So now I’m l lookin to do curves and keyhole beds. Annidation or stacking, layering, tessellations and working the edge effect, Yea babe! I’m observing and seeking to use the Mothers own designs.  Potatoes planted in keyhole beds Platte Prairie Farm’s first CSA season starts June 2nd and ends October 27th Our distribution will be at the main farm 5223 N Merrimac KCMO or at BadSeed Farmers Marker on Friday evenings.
