    It's Time To Get Planting... :)

    If you have an 'Organic Acres' garden in the USA, like we do, you may have seen that it's time now to start choosing the seeds you'd like to grow on your plot this season :) There is currently a list of 72 different produce items you can choose from, inside your OrganicAcres back office. I just chose 23 crops for our plot :)


    Lemon-Basil * Zucchini Squash * Butter Cos Lettuce * Buttercrunch Lettuce * Pac Choi * Cilantro * Cumin * Dill * Broccoli * Cucumbers * Carrots * Cherry Tomatoes * Italian Parsley * Spinach * Stupice Tomatoes * Summertime Lettuce * Sugar Snap Peas * Celery * Broccoli * Yellow Pear Tomato * Wonder Bell Pepper * Superpik Squash * Purple Haze Carrots

    WOW :)))) I am EXCITED to see what we receive from the land there this year - as and when we're back in the US we'll be able to enjoy some of it ourselves, or otherwise I imagine it will be sent as love offerings to Mr. Monarch's family... ;)
    If you don't yet have an Organic Acres garden plot and would love to know more, click HERE for more details...
    HAPPY GROWING everyone :))))

    Thanks for all the gorgeous glowing feedback we've been receiving about this ebook. Here's a couple of sweet comments recently sent in:

    I'm a rawfoodist wannabe - NOT so disciplined. But, because of YOUR Easter recipe ebook, I've started soaking organic oats at night for breakfast! And, I'll soak rice and seeds, too, because of these recipes! (SOAKING was missing from my raw attempt:-)
    THANK YOU!
    Love,
    Risa

    I was so excited to hear about this recipe book that I just had to
    download it! I just wanted to say thanks for sharing it with the
    world :)
