STARBUCKS

Due to the increase in negative social media I have begun to limit my interaction on a daily basis and choose things that bring me joy instead including trying a new hobby, woodworking!

Fall is my favorite time of year in Vegas, I was able to amend the soil in my gardens and plant my fall crop which includes rainbow carrots, radishes, broccoli, romanesco, golden and lavender cauliflower and brussel sprouts. I also spent time pruning my orange and lime trees and hope to harvest in a few months.

My name is Ilcia and I joined the People's Challenge because I believe we can all make a difference even if we start small.

I have found that spending time outdoors fosters a greater sense of community with myself and my neighbors. Going outside not only enriches my day through the interactions between myself and nature, but also through the interactions between myself and others.

HAPPY OCTOBERRRRR PARTNERS!!!!!

I created 3 new garden beds recently with the no till gardening method. Hoping for it to improve my soil quality under the beds. From the ground being too dense, my radishes are growing on top of the ground!! I'm curious to see how this changes with future crops as the ground underneath softens.
