"Well, we didn't decide that. I was thinking perennials, but maybe fall isn't the time to do that???
What would sell at a fall harvest festival?

What is Permaculture?
Permaculture is a holistic design process, using ecology as a basis for designing integrated systems: food production, community, economics, housing, with an embued ethic of caring for the earth, caring for people and sharing the surplus. That's asking us to limit our consumption and design for abundance and then share that abundance with each other.
We can also apply the principals to design our life. Using thoughtful observation look at your daily practices. What elements contribute to a healthy life and which do not? Waste= food. What areas of your life are there wastes? How can they feed into another system?
This is not just organic gardening, it's the garden of our lives. Understand how nature works and then apply it to our lives. Cleaning waste water. Experimenting with alternative fuels. How can we change the patterns of our behavior to match nature's systems?

The buzz...I wish it were bees or alternately gardening while on the run!
We've been spoiled. Here in Spenard we normally don't see too many mosquitos but this year they have been legion at the house. Because I don't like to use chemicals on my body anymore than on my garden, I have been doing what I call episodic gardening. I work up front for a short while, then zoom to the back to do some work and when I can't dodge the little drillers anymore I go inside for a bit.
We are "snowbirds" and because the spring in the midwest was also late we…

June's Meeting Notes
It was too hot to take notes, but the gist of it was:
1. We will keep the Ning Site because it's the only way to find us. There are people refusing to use Facebook.
2. We need someone to run the Ning site.
3. We need to fundraise for the Ning site ($200/year)
a. Christine would like to donate money
b. Dohn would like to ask for donations at the garden tour
c. Leslie P. would like us to have a booth at the Harvest…

Garden-sitting traded for vegetables in Anchorage
Hi, I am going to be commercial fishing out of Kenai June 20 to about August 8. Do you know anybody who would like to water my gardens while I am gone in trade for enjoying the organic vegetables like lettuces, kales, chard, snap peas, beet greens, herbs, strawberries, raspberries, etc.? I live in Roger's Park, mid-town. Also, does anybody know of a reasonable lawn cutting business? Please call me at 274-4242. Thanks! Liz

email about Ning site
I couldn't figure out how to reply to the email I got about whether or not to keep the ning site up, since the email address was a do-not-reply to one, so I'm replying this way. Although I don't come to the ning site often, there are nuggets here that I don't see any place else. Unless we can get everyone up to speed on facebook the ning site will still be my go to site for things like Liz' information about her round houses she's participating in designing or the local seed company in…
