 Our work here in Rockcastle county continues at a fevered pace. Today we are working hard to complete the layout and planting of our Three Sisters corn "maize" for the youth to enjoy at our Richmond street location. We have some Cherokee White Eagle Heirloom corn seed provided by Chestnut Ridge farm.
 At our ASPI location we are ordering more soil tests to identify the cause of some yellowing in some of the plants. Things are growing great (even the weeds).
 Working with the local Girl Scouts and community members has been a joy. There is such a wealth of agricultural history in the Appalachian region and it is a gift to be able to share in it with the members of this community.
