#MorrisCty Fun Local History with Farm Friends @ Fosterfields!

March 19, 2023 DenvilleAdmin

Did you know

The Family of Congressman Rodney Frelinghuysen have left Morris County with a legacy of cherished gems.

Peter H.B. Frelinghuysen, grandfather of Congressman Frelinghuysen, bought farm property back in 1914. This farm consisted both of Dairy Cattle and Greenhouses. Whippany River Farm produced the finest herds of Jersey dairy cattle in the U.S.A. The Dairy Cattle line were National Champions.

The gems of the past that we cherish today, the farm gave us the Morris Museum, municipal playgrounds, Frelinghuysen Park and the Frelinghuysen Arboretum! cite: Time’s Tin Cup

An Emergent Reason to Garden Now

February 13, 2023 DenvilleAdmin

February 3rd, 2023, a train derailment occurred in Ohio. The derailment released large amounts of chlorine gas. Ohio has 10 million acres of farmland and is part of our U.S. food belt.

High levels of chlorine in the soil is toxic to plants. High levels of chlorine in waterways is toxic to fish. There is no telling how far and wide the contamination of this chemical plume will be. Perhaps that was the purpose of all the weather balloons that have been released?

While the effects to come is unknown; what is known, you can take some precautionary steps now. Stock up on seeds and start gardening.

Plants can be grown indoors. Plants can be transferred outside when the weather is favorable. Plants can be brought back indoors for container gardening. Vegetables produced that are not ready to be eaten can be blanched and frozen. Store seeds in a cool and dry place.

If you have the space, I would strongly consider keeping a bin of worms too. They are needed for making healthy soil.
