Are you hooked up to the spout where the water comes out?
I have had three somewhat successful vegetable gardens in my lifetime. The first one was while I was a seminary student in Ft. Worth, Texas. I had two large plots of plowed up ground in the backyard of the house we were renting. The second was when I was the pastor of my first church, about ten miles outside of the community of Crawford, Texas. It, too, was while I was a student in seminary. And the third was while I was pastoring a small country church in Neches, Texas. I had graduated from seminary, but this “farming stuff” was still new to me. 08/29/2024 11:49 AM

FISD building ‘Thinking Classrooms’
Fairfield ISD is beginning the process of implementing Building Thinking Classrooms in its math classrooms. This approach to teaching math comes from the years of research from the author Peter Liljedahal in his book, “Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics.” This approach is a bit different from what most FISD students have been used to previously, according to FISD administrators. 08/22/2024 07:59 AM
