Solar powered windmill? Typically, ranchers used mechanical windmills to pump water water in remote locations to deliver water to their cattle. Lately on my backroad adventures, I have noticed many of these old windmills have been converted to using…
where are you going Terri?
Know this, those spines will be in your yard for years. They will stick THRU think soled thongs, and will stick in everything. They are a pain, literally and figuratively.
whatever you do with it, move it so it's not rotting in your yard where you…
my apple tree just got done blooming for the third time this year. brand new tree too
You could also plant a vitex. The bees LOVE mine. All kinds of bees, all colors. Zinnias are best.
Chris, that bit on Africanized bees dying in the winter has proven false. There was a special on them on t.v. last year sometime and it showed how the bees acclimatized to the cold and were just as deadly.
It was a VERY interesting documentary, you…
Maybe the next trip can be on a Saturday? Church is on Sunday.
We had lots of apples but the birds got to ALL of them before I did. I did not know birds would eat apples. I would have covered that little bitty tree like the tomatos. You'd think they'da had their fill of chicken feed in the duck pen, but noooooo…

Shaunna Burnett said… - I guess just the garden photos on your home page. I'm not totally used to this forum's set-up yet -- but whatever I saw, wherever I saw it, definitely looked verdant for the Sonoran Desert. I'd love to see what you've got started this year.
I found PPG from a friend. We were having coffee and getting reacquainted when she realized I was just as excited about composting as she was, so she forwarded me the "June 24th Upcoming Permaculture Classes & News" email to keep me in the loop. I don't even have a garden yet, but I am dreaming and planning. I'm such a geek about it.
What about you? When did you start growing and harvesting things, and how did you find this site?

- Woah! Those are great garden pics! You've got an edible jungle!
As to the work, I have worked at a health clinic, as an EFL teacher in South Korea, at a wine shop and a coffee shop and a restaurant kitchen, at a children's museum, been a residence advisor, and written op-ed pieces for a school newspaper. I'm interested in a lot of different jobs, basically. :-) I've been looking into healthcare, the food/wine industry, administration, and things that can use my writing skills. A lot of it is still up in the air, though.
