    Gardening at the Margins tells the remarkable story of a diverse group of neighbors working together to grow food and community in the Santa Clara Valley in California. Based on four years of deeply engaged ethnographic field research via a Participatory Action Research project with the people and ecosystems of La Mesa Verde home garden program, Gabriel R. Valle develops a theory of convivial labor to describe how the acts of care among the diverse gardeners—through growing, preparing, and eating food in one of the most income unequal places in the country—are powerful, complex acts of resistance. 
 
 
 
The individuals featured in the book are imagining and building alternative worlds and futures amid the very real challenges they embody and endure. Climate change, for example, is forcing thousands of migrants to urban areas, which means recent immigrants' traditional environmental, nutritional, and healing knowledge will continue to be threatened by the pervasiveness of modernity and the homogenization of global capitalism. Moreover, once rural people migrate to urban areas, their ability to retain traditional foodways will remain difficult without spaces of autonomy. The stories in this book reveal how people create the physical space to grow food and the political space to enact autonomy to revive and restore agroecological knowledge needed for an uncertain future.

Close Encounters of the Third Kind is a 1977 science fiction film directed by Steven Spielberg, which explores the theme of human contact with extraterrestrial life. The story follows Roy Neary, an ordinary man who experiences a close encounter with a UFO, leading him to become obsessed with understanding the phenomenon. As he and others search for answers, they are drawn to a mysterious location, Devil's Tower, where a series of strange events unfold. The film focuses on themes of wonder, communication, and the search for truth, blending human drama with awe-inspiring depictions of UFO encounters. 
  
TRIVIA SAMPLES: 
  
“Director Steven Spielberg stated that nothing in his life had been more difficult than editing the final 35 minutes of this film.” 
  
“The words that the crowd in India chants are "Aaya Re! Aaya," which means "He has come" in Hindi.” 
  
“For the scene in which Barry says "toys!" as he looks out the window and spots the UFOs, Steven Spielberg actually pulled out a toy car behind the camera to cause Barry's reaction.” 
  
“This film is shown every night at the Devil's Tower KOA Campground, thereby making it one of the most screened movies ever.” 
  
“The film became one of the first to have a "Special Edition" director's cut made when Steven Spielberg wanted to improve his original vision.”

    Container Herb Gardening - Fresh...

    Container herb gardening is a fantastic way to bring the fresh, vibrant flavors of herbs to your kitchen, even if you don’t have a large garden space. Whether you live in a small apartment, have a limited backyard, or simply want a manageable gardening experience, container gardening offers an ideal solution. This method allows you to grow a wide variety of herbs in small, portable containers, making them perfect for any setting. 
One of the primary benefits of container herb gardening is its versatility. Containers can be placed on patios, windowsills, balconies, or even indoors, making it possible to grow herbs year-round. This approach is especially helpful in urban environments where space is often at a premium. With containers, you can create a mini herb garden anywhere there’s sunlight and some space for a few pots. 
The key to successful container herb gardening lies in selecting the right containers. While almost any container can be used, it is important to choose one that offers good drainage and is large enough to accommodate the herb's root system. For example, small pots work well for herbs like basil or thyme, but larger containers may be needed for plants like rosemary or oregano. When choosing containers, make sure they are made from materials that allow for proper airflow and drainage. Terracotta pots are a popular choice for their breathability, while plastic or ceramic containers retain moisture longer, which can be beneficial for certain herbs.
