    Hey, Just posting to let you know have recieved $200 from Pimento and Anonymous member.

    Thank you so much, I am thinking I might use it to get a better juicer for her as she doesn't have a juicing one and my one is old and budget.


    Thanks Anon and Pimento it means a whole lot to me and my friend.

    And thanks for the prints pimento I'm so excited!

    I work for a horticulture company in my area, I love plants and love gardening but I don't really think there is to much money in it, for example I am doing a course for my horticulture 3 and 4 but I am not getting paid very well for it.

    I love my job to a point but it's not as glamorous as you would think. The problem I have with it is you lose the bond between you and the plant when you are dealing with them on a commercial scale. It's quite tough work and very long hours but there are some benefits!

    Like free plants and seedlings.

    I do love my job but there probably isn't to much money in it :)

    So basically, this is all I can think of that is cool in my life that i really do think will make a difference.

    When I used to be at school I became quite good friends with one of my teachers, we keep in contact quite a lot and just 4 or so months ago she found out she had sever cervical cancer for the 3rd time I believe.

    She is not aloud to have chemo therapy and was told she didn't have to long, She started researching the hole alkaline juice fast diet to beat the big C, I found out she was juicing and eating raw organic to boost her immunity and I had to help out.

    After finding out from a friend who works at the school that she was juicing I went in that week before she left for her home country and told her that it would mean a lot to me if she would let me grow her some plants for her juicing diet.

    So she is still away and will be away in her country for another month but, I have the plants to prove what I am doing and the emails.

    So far I am growing for her 60 spinach plants(seedlings atm), 10 trays of wheat grass, 6kale(will be getting another 20 I think) and a few different varieties of lettuce(24 lettuces all up) and will probably research what else is great for it.

    I'll put some photos up as soon as I get the chance

    Wheat grass in last pic, the spinach is double sown ( more then 50 but in bunches of 2) that is how they sow them at work.
    And there is a bunch of lettuce and silverbeet seeds that have not germinated yet in the blank areas
    Priorotise is also sending me seeds :)
