It’s been a good
bit of time since my last post. A lot has changed in my life from
point A to B. Here is a quick update on everything.
Moved again after
nearly a year. Here are a few photos of the garden produced in that
year. This garden should last for years to come.
This house is on stilts. So most of this garden is about 6 ft tall or greater.
Some sort of squash growing up in the Mexican spinach
This garden doesn't have as much diversity as I'd like but still turned out.
The people who own this were very generous and greatful
window box garden.
Not everything is edible but it adds to the look
This part here is still developing.
In other news -
I got married,
finally done with the searching!
We are in the
process of buying 7 acres or so of raw land in Alabama. The land has
streams and is very beautiful. It’s in an area with no building
codes or restrictions. So if that all pans out we will be able to
build without restriction. Closing date is in August and we plan to
move in September.
I’m very excited
to be able to have my own project. I don’t mind doing projects for
others but it is limiting. Also it will be nice not to have to deal
with city codes, house fill, pipes, underground wires, and so on.
Currently we are just learning online how to do earthen building and a handful of other skills that will serve us well out there.
