As I was coming home from work today I was imagining that I would be writing this before the election results were in, and I would be able to hold my thoughts about politics, but since it is my night to make dinner it isn't until now at 11 ish that I am writing.  I want to stay neutral since we are all a community about food, but I can't help it...YEAH!!!  Today was unlike others:  what a beautiful day after-a-rain morning and what a sense of change in the air!  I could especially feel an unspoken sense of hope at the polling place this morning and everyone was smiling!!

Yes we can grow lots of food in our lovely soils in our lovely city and tomorrow you'll get to see the results!

We are desperate for rain and the forecasters are predicting rain Friday through Tuesday.  We are praying for it here at GRUB.  I might even wash my car just to insure it!  Besides the whole regional landscape being thirsty, our farm would really love it!  The natural watering would help baby our onion transplants.  It would allow us to break ground on our sunbaked acres. It would also enable us to plant our cover crops that will enrich our soil (more about that when we actually can plant them.)

REMINDER:  those of you with kids who may want to tour our growing farm, come out at 5:30 this Wednesday.

Hello everyone!  This is our first GRUB newsletter directly blogged into our website.  It is very exciting for us to be able to use less paper and to give easy (hopefully) to all o our CSA members and anyone who wants to check it out.

This "issue" is more of an update on what's going on at the GRUB house than our usual spotlight on a veggie or herb.  Things have been moving quickly around here and just want to keep you informed since you are a part of our community.
