Yesterday, instead of staying indoors and waiting for the MOAB to hit the MSM, I took all of my extra plant-starts, down to Main Street (which is basically the only street in town) and had a, "WHERE WE GROW ONE WE GROW ALL", plant-sharing giveaway. I featured the idea of growing a salad in a bucket, with 4, greens-starts. I did have other plants, as well, because I thinned my other plants, too.
Small towns like mine have been struck hard by the forced shutdown of small businesses, even though no one, that I know of, has been reported ill from the virus, here. The micro-brew pub was harassed by law enforcement but defied "orders" and re-opened. I parked across the street from them, after being at the City Park for a couple of hours. The brewery was packed with destination-bikers and other patriots. It was very moving, unless you were hungry, because food orders took over an hour. But, hooray, for them! They have all of their workers back, too.
WWG1WGA (Where We Go One We Go All) is our battle-cry, meaning that we will never leave anyone behind, during trying times. As Americans, we will always help our brothers and sisters, when we have more than we need. I flipped the word "GO" to "GROW" and set out to share what I could of my veggie and plant starts.
It was a pretty fun day and I encourage you to take your extra plants to town and give them away to someone who might be too afraid or too ill to go to the store to buy their own starts, with a WWG1WGA, spirit. I did thwart off being cleaned out too quickly, by limiting the amount of plants that one person could take. It really doesn't have to be plants, though. You could give away canned goods or other essentials, like art supplies. ;) I'm thinking about doing this for the next, four Saturdays. I have plenty of starts in the hopper.
The point is to help awaken people, while bringing the spirit of brotherhood and giving. I had my Q stickers in the window, too.
Just a note: I did have my own mask, which I didn't wear, and a box of latex gloves available, in case "the man" came by. Cheers, anons, Q, Q+!
