A lot going on……

I just officially got approval from NASB for a project I have been working on… the Bible scriptures podcast… These are basically most of the verses that are in the Bible verses about money page in audio form. To be honest, I just wanted to be able …

Thanks for all the kind comments!
@Bellen – The Extension service is great – I signed up for their online monthly newsletters. And their monthly ‘to-do’ garden lists – they are specifically for my area! Great reminders of when to prune, fertilize, etc.
I read John Jeavons books for my general gardening research and found some great ideas. And yes, my perimeter beds are raised! Works great in soggy coastal Oregon. I have a lot of temporary containers now, including 6 pots of asparagus, all of which are waiting for their permanent beds going in this fall. My rainbow chard is a great colorful perennial – it’s just a matter of keeping the top cut off and not letting it go to seed :)I love eating fresh swiss chard in the dead of winter! Yum!

@make art – I hope you enjoy the reading and research as much as I did. It’s been a great learning experience, and even more fun when you actually start eating your own blueberries, raspberries, red currants, etc!

@erin – Yes, my herbs are in containers right now also. Year 3 of my plan will have them in permanent spots around the deck that is still not built! (After it’s built, of course!)

@Jill – I’m totally with you on gleaning. Apples and blackberries are the biggest “just pick them” crops around my area. And my grandkids love dried apples for snacks!

@Whit -Nice to plan on leaving something behind for the next renter. You’ll probably enjoy the next article on frugal ways to accomplish this! Freebies are great! And good luck with your research – in my area it was great winter reading.

@Cynthia – Big plastic tubs or big wooden dresser drawers or boxes are great for container gardens. I use them until the space is ready for the plants that I have scrounged for free or been given. I’ll be overwintering kales, herbs, and more raspberries in containers until their permanent places are ready for them.

@Andrea – good luck with your project and have fun with the researching! Some of the books are just fascinating reading! All those possibilities – so little space! (in my yard anyway!)

Good luck to all with your planning, and check in next week for tips on frugal ways to make your edible landscaping dreams come true!
