It’s not every day that someone gets to travel from Oklahoma to the Kyangwali Refugee Settlement in Uganda. But that is exactly what I’m about to do! In just a few months, I’ll be on my way to work with Agri Planet Uganda on its mission to help find sustainable solutions for refugees living in the settlement. While I’m sure this trip will bring plenty of challenges, I’m also looking forward to learning more about Uganda’s amazing people and culture.

I had been looking at plane tickets for Lena and me to visit Hawaii for seven years, but tickets were always too expensive. This was the year, though! As I did every so often, I looked at tickets on OneTravel.com, round-trip, and a hotel room for me, and Lena was $1,507.77 – what?! YES! Sign me up.

I’ve been letting things take their growing course while I water and wait. Today though, I made a manure tea for the vegetable garden, herbs, and trees…and created, and inoculated, a bed for Wine Cap Mushrooms!

It is not traveling around the world, but it has been a journey! I bought my house 10 years ago and never really did as much to the inside or outside as I would have liked — you know, adding particular areas and designs that make it “ours.” Quarantine has really given me the bug (and I know many others, too) to garden, and design personal living spaces.

So, just to get you caught up — I have never gardened successfully or even kept a plant alive longer than a couple of months. I am putting in the effort, talking to experts, and getting my butt in the yard to get dirty and grow things!
