A local farmer/art teacher took me out hunting asparagus along the irrigation canals and ditches - I have never tasted asparagus this good. He showed me his farm (unfortunately he was moving off of it due to a divorce after 38 years). I was really taken by his Walipini underground greenhouse - he grows vegetables year round. According to the literature on the net it can be built for around $300

Comment by waldopaper on May 30, 2013 at 10:19pm: Hannah, are you still there? My "seeing eye dog" and I came within a nose-hair of visiting you guys. I wanted my "nephew" to see what you showed me in woo-woo Kansas. Now I am sorry we did not to take the time. BUT-- now I am planning the same kind of trip to Portland... but only if "my boys" will support with gas money and driving time. They have busting ass in the garden and am truly amazed at what they have done so far.

Otherwise, I will have to make it to Portland on my own to haunt Ecospeed... and have prepared them with written word yet. That's part of the challenge. But my boys can't imagine unlimited land and $5k houses. They ARE aware (barely) of what permaculture can do. we are barely working about an acre now. We worked less than half of that space year... and it fed us well into the Fall. Without chickens. How are you guys dong? Still there?

Fresh food. Every day. So easy. We should all quit our "day jobs."

Comment by waldopaper on May 30, 2013 at 11:56pm: That's it! That's what it looked like!

Noticed my brain-damaged speech impediment effects the writing as well... omitted words... but did no edit. When writing, there is usually time to fix this shit... speaking- not so.

Dam the boys will go ape-shit to see this stuff for real!

Comment by pan on May 31, 2013 at 8:19am: Just finished planting. Only tomatoes, cucumbers (Lemon and Armenian) and squashes. Not much luck with other things here. We are really hoping that we won't be around here for the harvest. Jo is still waiting on details with the Fulbright in Riga, Latvia. She knows that it has been cut back to 5 months instead of the full academic year due to austerity. And I'm hoping that I did well enough on my interview to be offered the gig in Iowa.

Would be sad to leave the garden.

Comment by hannah j on May 31, 2013 at 9:40am: i had to leave a garden once including a strawberry bed, in cover of darkness, all very much like a movie now that i look back on it!
