In the process of moving into and living in my grandparents house, and setting up a vegetable garden. I tried starting seeds in some damp paper towel until I got enough starter pots and got worried when it'd been a few days with no sign of life, but I looked today and literally all of them have little roots forming. The goal is to grow more than I could possibly need and give away/preserve the rest to build up a sort of community-wide free pantry, since the nearest grocery store is nearly an hour's drive away and inaccessible to a lot of people here due to low income and isolation.

If anyone has any ideas/information on how to start a small library/book club/afterschool tutoring program that'd be useful too. My mom volunteers as a board member for our community centre that is really desperate for people to actually go and participate in stuff there, so I'd probably have a space to host it.

I'm pretty much just brainstorming at this point. Food insecurity and lack of education are two of the biggest problems here (I know multiple people who don't know how to read and most kids around here are at a lower reading level for their age compared to the rest of the country iirc) when it really doesn't have to be. This community is small enough that a handful of people could have a huge effect, someone just needs to do the organizing

Wait Holy shit I'm living the plot of stardew valley, when do the junimos show up
