"so true. It is very reassuring to remember my kids get even more a kick out of "just" radishes than i do, so here's to starting simple and experimenting. Isn't a radish a wonderful invitation to gardening?"

- About Me:
- MS Arch, ASU, Before then, BA Arch The Catholic University of America, Washington DC. where Ed Mazria was required of all sophomores. Passive response was not the only acceptable design basis, but was the most certain valid basis to take in any class, not just the one with the US DOE prof. I was eager to come to Arizona, where I thought you'd all live in earthships. (ha!) Now a SAHM looking for meaningful work while hoping to at least educate my own kids on passive energy while keeping something alive in the garden!
