Thanks for supporting the huge effort in providing local food security in the inner city of Houston and please tell a friend. This week we began ordering greens for the cool weather season. Our hope is to build a extensive seed library at the Live Oak location. We also ordered a large variety of garlic. The next several months with all the good help we hope to have one of the most productive and diverse farming projects in Houston's inner city. Joe Nelson Icet
