Hey Heather! I've meant to write you for awhile now.. I actually helped with the garden event (a year ago?) that you photographed in your slideshow above... Anyway.. I vaguely recall helping the kids paint with you, Suean and Myron... I am a speech therapist and have an active school garden in north central Phx. Wondered if you had any advice on using some psycho-social data re: the therapeutic effects of gardening to get some modest funding.. I would love some grant $ to help our school! If you have time and energy, write back and I wish you well this summer! Margot

Hi all- I would like to order some Cornish X next week, but would prefer to have my mother in law raise them in Prescott rather than in Phx.  Anyone know how Cornish X will do in cooler weather up in Prescott?    Jay

So I cooked the first of the rabbits we processed last week. Fried it like chicken. What went wrong is I have never fried chicken and I cooked it too long resulting in rubber rabbit so I popped it into the crockpot for three hours and it was divine…
