yesterday i met up with alyssa, this girl i farmed with in ecaudor who's in bA for a month, and we went to a seed fair in the provincia about an hour away. It was in this giant giant park and i was thinking it'd be cool to be able to talk to people about roof gardening and maybe get some seeds but it turned out it was more of a seed exchange so they weren't really selling stuff. but i started talking to some people from huertas in the province and they were just like, here take what you need and gave me for free a giant bag of seeds that are good to sow in winter/fall. so now i have onions, mint, scallions, beets, carrots, cabbage, lettuce, spinace, acelga, calendula, beans, peas, peanuts, parsley, radishes and a whole bunch of other stuff. and we got a free lunch when we arrived and this lady gave us a big block of cheese that she made yesterday and we got invited to a wedding next saturday! and today there are a whole bunch of workshops like silkscreening, bike fixing, and planting along with art shows and films and music and potluck dinner at this place called la sala. so i am baking an apple carrot cake for that now...
