Drying out and looking ahead

The good people at Truly Living Well Natural Urban Farms, on Washington Road, are trying to get in a Saturday class for would-be gardeners as Mother Nature's deluge of rain. 

Meanwhile, if you have some time this afternoon, Lovin' It Live, a  live food establishment in downtown East Point, will be at the farm at 3353 Washington Rd., East Point. Cooks will show people how to prepare dishes from the seasonal crops. 

This Saturday, the class on natural and organic urban agricultural methods will try again. Rain canceled the last two attempts . This focuses on fall planting and covers everything from soil preparation and composting to crop management to insect control.

It is a get-your-hands-dirty type of experience conducted at the East Point farm. 
Folks leave not only with new knowledge, but some fall seeds to plant.

The cost is $35 per person. Class size is limited. To reserve a seat, mail a check to:
