A few people have asked me about our Trade Station Wish List, so I am posting the link again so no one has to search for it too hard. I will keep it pinned to the top for easier access. Please do not think that you have to items, because we do operate on a trade system. These are items that will help us get more toiletries and food out there, keep things organized and out of the elements as much as possible.

Its not a requirement to purchase or donate. We encourage trading to keep a cycle going of things in and out, but its also a take what need, leave what you can thing too. I am so grateful for having such a kind, compassionate, and supportive community to help keep this going. We are all helping each other more than you know!

My son and I just got home from running errands and someone ordered these from our Amazon Wish List! Thank you to whomever ordered these! They are perfect for putting cherry tomatoes in once we start harvesting them!

Harvested our first round of feverfew 😊 going to get this in the dehydrator and start some feverfew tincture soon!

And my marshmallow is starting to bloom too! Later today I will be harvesting some of my borage leaves and flowers too.

I also have fresh basil, chocolate mint, peppermint, mugwort, motherswort, and lemon balm if anyone is interested :)

Good morning everyone 😊
New seedling additions to the Trade Station:

Beefsteak Tomatoes
Super Sweet 100 Hybrid Tomatoes
Italian Ribbed Zucchini
Georgia Rattlesnake Watermelon
Crimson Sweet Watermelon
Crenshaw Melon

There are limited amounts of melons... but there are tons of varieties of squash and there will be 7 more varieties of Tomatoes added throughout the week as I get them potted up.

The Trade Station is overflowing with plants, so please give us a visit this week and give these babies new homes 😊

Thank you to The Little Free Pantry On Hayes for stocking us up! We have some trial sized toiletries and feminine products in the top cabinet and Narcan in the little cabinet.😊 Im hoping to get more out tomorrow because we got TWO mini fridges from The Free Little Pantry on Hayes as well!! We still have to drill a hole in the back of the cabinet to get an outdoor extension cord through, but we dont have the proper drill bit to do that yet 😅

I would like to make up some sandwiches this week to keep in the fridges for people to grab. We have peanut butter and one squeeze bottle of strawberry jelly. So if anyone has a loaf or two of bread and grape jelly to help us get some sandwiches made, we would greatly appreciate some!
