Just found your blog and have read it completely. Love what you’re doing in a relatively small space!

I’m really interested in your fruit and nut privacy border. Do you have a plan for that, and if so, would you mind sharing it in a new post or via email? This is exactly what I need on my irregular shaped property to hide an area where trees were taken out to run water lines on the property behind mine. Now I have full view of the neighbors property up the street…not a good view…and they like playing their music loud. I thought about 8 foot privacy fence, but like the idea of an edible fence (either for us or to share with the birds) much better! And it would be better to catch some of the noise too.

Anyway, I put you in my feed reader and although I’m smack in the middle of the heartland (many miles from you!) I look forward to seeing more of your ideas.

Thanks….back to lurking….

Good for you – I’m behind you and we eat tons of brassicas. I’m still waiting to see how my cranberry vines do this year. Last year I got nothing.

Your focus on growing what you eat is definitely the way to go. Growing items your family does not eat (or only half heartedly) means you are using valuable growing space that could be more productively employed on things you DO like!

I wish I had more property with good sun exposure to put in some nut and fruit trees like you have. They would be such a nice addition. This is my second year for the bush pie cherries though and I am hopeful they will provide a reasonable harvest this year as a result.

Wishing you a happy ground hogs day (Imbolc)!
