Volunteers are essential. Tonight Jim and his buddy helped with the mowing and taught some mower maintenance. Thank you both.

More gratitude! KU Project SEARCH--amazing job. This week was foundational. Scruffy is out mulch is in. Thanks to the students pictured and not pictured. I hope we finish mint hill before your return next week. Know that your hard work makes beautiful spaces grow.

Today the KU Red Cross Chapter members returned for another round of service to the community. Low-Maintenance Landscaping is a challenge in Kansas generally and now in particular because rain=weeds. We couldn't rise to the challenge without volunteers like today's group.

Our goal is edible landscaping that thrives in clay soil. The plants that seem to be thriving now are invasive weeds. Not a good look.

We pull weeds to avoid using herbicides then we mulch until we are ready to install permanent platings. That sounds like a losing battle but still we try.

We appreciate our volunteers who moved us closer to that tidy edible landscape we envision. They helped in the garden and greenhouse too. Rock. Chalk. Red. Cross.

Thank you members of the KU Chapter of the American Red Cross. This group is creative, dependable, and they work hard. Couldn't have been ready without you. We needed to have three houses cleaned and ready. One will be rented next week, one will be rented on March 1st and today served as the place for our Monthly Meal. The third one is up for grabs, so don't miss the chance to join a community of opportunity here at Home Works USA.
