I sure wish I had the soil others seem to experience here. I live on a hill and can dig about three inches before needing to break out the pick axe and start breaking up rock and caliche. Haven't resorted to dynamite yet, but there have been some da…
I would be grateful to pick some for my family. We are around next weekend and live in the same area. Would be happy to pick and bag some as a service to you as well in exchange for the fruit.
I use the green bamboo stakes in a teepee and think they work well. After each season, they collapse and store easily. They can also be easily disassembled and used in other configurations later. Good luck.
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll check these out.
I've grown the bisbee reds with great production and have known others that have as well, so Judy's experience may have just been a disappointing fluke. Sounds like the Tarahumara Bakaminas are rare and you'd be doing a good thing keeping them going…
I know a lady in Tucson who grows the Mayo Blusher and says she prefers them in the immature green stage but they will also keep well as a winter squash, a dual purpose so to speak. The only bean I can't recommend is the Bisbee Red Blackeyed peas, t…
Early maturing is the general rule. Sounds like you have some good varieties picked out. Most of the varieties of squash (that I've tried) from Native Seeds Search have been hard shelled varieties (Magdalena Big Cheese and Mayo blusher were both goo…
I want to start a Three Sisters garden this spring and was looking at native varieties on Native Seed Search. Does anyone have some favorite varieties? p.s., I am a total beginner so I'm not sure if I'm asking the right questions.

Adding saturated fat helps with hunger and sugar cravings. If you're avoiding animal products, coconut oil is your best option.

there's an article about it if you haven't read about it before.
I've done a pretty healthy version of pancakes using sprouted lentils. I'll put a blog post together on my site with photos and the recipes for you later today. :) You should get on the Vegan Culinary Experience mailing list, Jason Wyrick is a local…
Things that are in my fridge and pantry at all times are almond milk, almond butter, pasta, dates, flours, canned beans, agave nectar, various frozen fruits for smoothies, tofu, tempeh and bunches of fresh fruits and veges, etc, etc..... I'm a nut f…
Here is one I came across. Have not tried it yet.

Have you tried Buckwheat Pancakes Or replacing part of your wheat flour with mesquite flour
How awful--I hope it heals soon. Don't be too embarrassed. The same thing happened to my 9 year old son. He was playing with some friends and stepped on an old mesquite thorn that went through his Crocs and into his foot. He pulled the Croc off hims…

Going for a healthier diet.
I have decided to try aspects of a Vegan diet and want to share my experiences here to help keep me on the path. It has been one week and I think I am getting the hang of it.
So here's my parameters -- this isn't necessarily a "by-the-book" vegan diet -- I'm making up some of my own rules to fit the lifestyle I am trying to achieve.
- Minimal to no meat products or meat bi-products.
- Minimal to no processed foods, within reason.
- Minimal caffeine (just because).
- Organic when available (try… Continue
