One thing I forgot when I did my “learn to feed yourself” series was the abundance of food we have right outside our doors. (otherwise known as eating the “weeds” or “wild food”)
Many of our so-called “weeds” were either used by the indigenous peoples for centuries, or else were brought here by immigrants. Much […]
A video interview with Robert Waldrop, president of the Oklahoma Food Cooperative, showing off his home garden and talking a little about the co-op. There’s quite a bit of background noise in the video but it’s worth watching.
Bob’s a buddy of mine so I’m pretty excited that he got the interview.
Today I mainly just did what I always do.
Except I went to a coffeeshop with some friends and one of them (the lady I gave the tomato plants to) gave me one of her strawberry plants! So I’ll have three now. I’m putting each one in a different plot to see how they […]
Long day.
Harvested more snowpea pods, froze them. Also harvested lettuces and carrots. (oh, and weeds for the bunnies )
Went to the food co-op to help sort items, as today was delivery day. Worked there four hours, then came home and took Leon out to run around, then went and picked up our food.
I got […]

Today I repotted a bunch of tomato and pepper seedlings, and stuck the largest ones on the back porch in preparation to putting them in the yard.
Harvested snow peas. Froze more peas.
Put more dishwater on the compost pile, and added the rabbit litter to a new […]

Here’s the numbers we started out with back in June 2007:
Gasoline: 59% of the American national average
Electricity: 425% (multiple computers, TV’s, and lights on all the time, in an almost […]
Charlton Heston died yesterday at the age of 84.
This is one of the better conferences I’ve been to so far. They have five tracks (plus a kid’s track tomorrow) for each day. Today I picked the food/permaculture track.
But before that, today I fed and watered bunnies, made breakfast for three teenagers, got said teenagers to school, had to go home and change bunny […]
We’ve heard about the 100 mile diet, and I talked about looking into eating within a 25 mile radius of your home. So how about the 100 foot challenge?
100 feet? Yep. Grow your own.
For this, you see how much of your food you can grow within 100 feet of your house.
For those of you who […]
