Looks like you have plenty of volunteers but I'm available too - if you need more.  Your instagram page looks great!

Small garden tools are like kitchen gadgets. When you see them, you just have to get them!!

I'm really not too sure how o do this, but I do have a question for Crystal:  What are your "must haves" when creating an edible yard?  We recently bought an acreage (zone 5) and have a blank canvas.  We have a small garden and 2 apple trees but nothing perennial just yet.  Would love some outside the box suggestions.  I am too chicken to forage and haven't figured out the whole picking/using dandelions just yet either.  We haven't sprayed or put down chemicals since we moved here 2 years ago so I'm thinking the dandelions should be ok???  Also, any perennials for discouraging moles??  

I am looking forward to reading your book!

Thank you!

Michele

So curious about this product.  Cant wait to dive into the posts.  In Iowa, thank goodness for spring!  We have a couple of apple trees that would probably benefit so very much!

Ready to get gardening!
Thank you!!!  

Just got an organic "kit" for elderberry syrup, made it and love it.  Maybe it's something to add to our permaculture...we live in Iowa, USA, pretty sure they would thrive.  Anyway, would love to get your opinion on just how to best utilize the syrup I have and would REALLY like to know your thoughts recipes to make my own next time.  Thanks and welcome!!

I can't wait to get my hands on this book.  It looks like the information I need to grow in my Iowa(US) semi-short growing season.  Welcome & thank you, Vera!

Welcome Jill!  I'm not really sure how to post a question in the other forums, so I'll try it here.  I will have to go take a look at your webpage but am looking for recipes using lard.  Maybe dessert type of recipes with not an overload of sugar.  If you are more of a savory, comfort, dinner cooking person - that's awesome too!  Just working on some old-fashioned, very loved recipes to pass on to my family.  Thank you!!

Hello Michael!  I haven't taken time to research a paw paw tree.  Hardy in Iowa?  Just moved to an acreage and am trying to implement permaculture into our landscape.  Any fruit trees would be welcome.  I'll do my research - in the meantime, yes to Iowa and it's frigid winters??

Congrats to the winners!!😊

We are always looking for ways to amend our garden soil.  Compost tea is probably what we need!  Newly tilled garden, virtually no nitrogen.  Our property was a cattle lot many many years ago.  The garden is respectable this year but we know it can be healthier.  Thanks for being here Eric!!
