Hot Damn
Tour de Plants was yesterday and went pretty well. We planted fifteen blueberry bushes, seven rasp/blackberry bushes, a pawpaw tree, a pecan tree, two tart cherries, and a generous handful of garlic.

Much to my delight, one of our riders took the Gleaner's Guide to Knoxville (an online google map) and made an iPhone app that finds the nearest source to you. The irony (or tension) of using a very expensive smart phone to find marginal food sources is very pleasing to me. If you have a magIcPhone, direct it here and check out Eric's app: http://tinyurl.com/igleanknoxville.

Processing
Our second "Gleaning Tour" went very well. Our group was bolstered by several knowledgeable enthusiasts. Here we are picking/digging up chicory. I hope to roast it and grind it up for a coffee substitute. Ah yes.
