Busy, productive weekend 👩🌾 Many food crops were transplanted. An acre of beds were prepped for more crops to be transplanted.

The Killer Combo Of Agrivoltaics & Community Solar Is Coming For Your Fossil Fuels
"Livestock grazing and pollinator habitats have dominated the #agrivoltaic field to date. Researchers are also compiling a knowledge base that enables agrivoltaic arrays to expand into #FoodCrops for humans (see more solar-plus-farming background here).
Meanwhile, the #CommunitySolar movement has also been taking a ride-along with the falling cost of solar energy."
Our region had a short sharp extra-deep freeze in the winter and the cherry tree in my yard never really flowered. I miss the tart little juice bombs that are usually just becoming ready now-ish.
Also thinking a lot about #FoodSecurity in a #ClimateChange world.
