I have been learning about peak oil for a few years and have some friends involved with the Transition movement so am quite interested in that. <br /><br />I bought my home a year ago and now that I am settled in, am working towards growing my own food. I have never gardened in my adult life but love being outdoors and digging in the dirt. It is all very overwhelming to me but I am taking things one step at a time. I look forward to following your blog now that I found you. Any posts about growing things would interest me! I think it is also important to include posts on family life. I have a 2 year old nephew whom I would like to include in my food growing efforts and when I see your kids "watering the asparagus", I immediately thought of him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-80473932284595720082012-03-19T10:38:52.687-05:002012-03-19T10:38:52.687-05:00It's all good.

A positive model of thoughtful, nurturing masculine.

I learn things because you are gardening in a sustainable way and you always have projects going on! Please do updates on Gita (as much as she is comfortable with, of course.) I think of you and your family from time to time, wondering how it's going with the cancer. Thanks for gardening and blogging!<br /><br />JodiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-52104512351462967442012-03-14T11:35:38.199-05:002012-03-14T11:35:38.199-05:00OK, not sure how "about" turned into &qu...OK, not sure how "about" turned into "above" in my last comment - you'll know what I meant.Amy Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-58248478862329295122012-03-14T11:34:47.654-05:002012-03-14T11:34:47.654-05:00I'll 2nd what John said above the blog.

As to spring fever, I'm definitely there this year....debating if I should risk planting some of last year's kohlrabi seeds in the garden this weekend, and see what happens. Would be tempted to start re-mulching the gardens, but my favorite local nursery won't open for at least a month. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7279140223556786071.post-88764526866307399152012-03-14T06:53:43.485-05:002012-03-14T06:53:43.485-05:00Congratulations on making it to your blog's fi...Congratulations on making it to your blog's first anniversary.<br /><br />Hmmm... the kind of blog I like to read? You're already there. My preference: keep doing what you've been doing. I like your mix of topics and the personal touch.
