Dear All Friends,
Warm greetings from Leyte and thank you very much for your continuing generous support for our initiative to provide food supply via vegetable gardens here in Leyte. This project is indeed creating continuous positive impact as local gardeners are able to produce their own food and retain some mature plants for the seeds to be used for continuous planting. We train them to focus on the use of open pollinated vegetables rather than hybrids since open pollinated grow well. This time we are able to distribute a total of 1,750 seed packets to 440 families living in 3 barrios in Ormoc City and Albuera Municipality. Best of all we are able to engage farmer-cooperators to produce vegetable seeds by not harvesting the young plants and letting it mature until they bear seeds. We now have 7 farmer cooperators producing legume, okra, beans and squash seeds.
Again thank you very much for your kind help.
Very sincerely yours,
Cora
