https://www.afinalwarning.com/510001.html (Natural News) Cooperation Humboldt, a transition initiative in Humboldt County in California, is providing mini-gardens for free to help communities in the state’s North Coast become self-sufficient and achieve food independence.
The organization initially provided free lawn conversions but decided to shift its focus later on. Tamara McFarland, a leader within the cooperation, was concerned that the lawn conversion project failed to reach individuals who would benefit the most from growing their own food. Most of the people applying for lawn conversions were long-term renters and homeowners with a stable income and the privilege of starting a backyard garden.
More than 400 kits distributed under Backyard Garden Project

Johnson s Backyard Garden is selling vegetable and herb transplants at their farm near
Garfield on Saturdays through April.
Whether you have a garden plot or a patio planter, the farm s greenhouses have something for you. The 108 kinds of veggie transplants include tomatoes, squash, herbs, peppers, melons, and greens. The varieties we grow we know do well in Central Texas, says
Ada Broussard, marketing manager for the farm that also does
Community Supported Agriculture deliveries. Plus, they boost the soil with a little bit of magic to make the starter plants hearty and strong, she says.
Like farms all around Texas, Johnson s farm was hit hard by the six days of freezing temperatures. We prepare for freezes, but nothing like this, Broussard says. It lasted so long.
