Farm Tour visited Guru Jiwan Singh's Greenhouses 

Khalsa Greenhouse tomatoes

Krishna Singh is working with the Rio Arriba County Food & Agriculture Policy Council, who sponsored a workshop recently at Northern New Mexico College. The Council's goal is to re-invigorate the farming culture in the Espanola Valley, and to support and inspire the local community to go from growing just 2 - 4% of our own food, to growing 15% of our own food, and by doing so, to enrich our local community in many ways. Part of the workshop included a tour of local farms. Guru Jiwan Singh's beautiful Khalsa Greenhouses were part of that tour. His greens and tomatoes are AWESOME! (FYI...you can purchase GJS's amazing produce every Saturday at the Santa Fe Farmers Market.)

Computer Corner - Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

by Guruka Singh  - I've written in previous columns about cleaning the innards of a PC, but what about the exterior parts: sticky keyboards and troublesome mice?  Keyboards and mice take a beating from food and drink spills, skin oils, and all manner of dirt and debris. But don't toss them out; they can be cleaned. Read entire article

Sangat Birthday's for March 

"If there is a purpose other than compassion in any relationship in your life, you will also find pain in that relationship."
