You have to take action fast or that precious harvest goes to waste. It would be so much better as pasta sauce later in the year. That’s why we're inviting you to a masterclass with Stacey Murphy called 3 Strategies to Simplify Preserving and Storing the Harvest: Enjoy Fresh, Organic Vegetables & Herbs All Year Long. --->>Click here to access the masterclass today! You’ll discover how to think like a restaurant owner so that you can transform fresh food into a stocked kitchen without a lot of hard work. This is not just about a bunch of canned tomatoes here.

Jimi, did you know that by simply changing the way you eat certain common foods you can dramatically increase their health benefits? It’s true! If you change the way you eat leafy greens like kale, spinach, or arugula, you can unlock their true anti-inflammatory properties, making them one of the best foods for preventing or relieving an autoimmune condition. Trouble is, most people don’t eat leafy greens this way (even though it requires no prep work or fancy utensils) so they miss out on the health benefits they deserve. If you want to know this simple trick that makes leafy greens healthier, then you’ll want to jump to page 9 of Goodness Lover’s brand new special report, Top 20 Foods to Help Prevent and Reverse Autoimmune Disease, which you can download for free here: >>> Top 20 Foods to Help Prevent and Reverse Autoimmune Disease (eat these to reduce inflammation, relieve your symptoms, and regain control of your health) And this secret about leafy greens is just one of the things revealed in this interesting special report. You’ll also learn: Boost immunity with a pizza topping? Yes! Research shows this tasty treat stops 85% of the sickness-causing pathogens it’s been tested on dead in their tracks. When eating broccoli can make your autoimmune condition WORSE... And how to protect yourself. The inexpensive herb that cools inflammation and can give you blessed relief from your symptoms. What it is, where to find it, and the easiest way to incorporate it into your diet. How to pick an avocado -- and ripen one quickly And so much more! If you want to be proactive and safeguard yourself against autoimmunity (which afflicts nearly 50 million Americans)... And if you want to do that using foods you may already be growing in your garden… Then you’re going to love this free special report. >>> Go here to grab your copy now while it’s still available Lettuce boost our health with leafy greens!

So you have pests, but you don’t want to use pesticides. How the heck does one do that?!

This month, learn how to take care of the rascals without poisoning the food you eat. I promise it’s possible! The following articles can help:

• The Thing That Took Me By Surprise When I Started Growing My Own Food
• Skeleton leaves no more: Permaculture’s simple secrets for banishing pests

By the way, incorporating animals in your yard can help bring more balance and mitigate some of the commons issues we experience as urban growers. Personally, I love watching my sweetie Heidi care for and love on our pet chickens.

Hens are often the first animal (other than typical pet species) that people keep in their yards, and for good reason...they provide fresh eggs, are easy to care for, and can even help build rich compost.

Once people experience how playful, productive, and profitable chickens are, a whole world of potential opens up and it's difficult to stop there. They might then venture into keeping other species of poultry, bees, goats, or sheep.

Whether or not you grow your own produce, and especially if you do, I'd suggest considering raising chickens. Let Urban Farm U open you up to the possibilities in our Signature Course, Urban Animals, with garden educator Kari Spencer!

Learn more about the course and raising urban animals here.

Enjoy, and happy growing.

Cucumbers are coming in pretty good. I have two different kinds growing, Boston pickling and Marketmore as a slicer. I forgot to take pics of all that I have harvested, but here are some.

Here are a few that I've picked. The skinnier one is the Boston pickling.



These are some of the Marketmore that I sliced up and put into my dehydrator to make cucumber chips.



Here they are finished drying. I used salt, pepper, Lawreys, and cayenne powder in various mixes.
