Farewell

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times; it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness; it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity; it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness; it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us, we had nothing before us; we were all going directly to Heaven, we were all going the other way…

Seed balls are an easy way to revegetate arid areas - seeds are rolled into balls of clay and dry compost and scattered into reveg area, and the weather does the rest. The recipe is on the Path to Freedom site, sent in by Rose.
