Hi Jackie,
I don’t deny that I’m into urban farming. I’d like to reiterate that this interest will not die out
and neither is it new broom sweeps clean. I do have green fingers!
I take pride in my effort. It helps to cushion the impact of grocery bills. The greens are
crunchier, tastier and free of pesticides. We control what goes into our greens. We grow whatever
we want and the fruits of our labour make all the hard work worthwhile. Our friends enjoy the
products of our edible garden.
I’ll send some to you soon!
Masliza
