Alternative Food Plants

This link to plants for a future which stresses sustainability, seems worth checking out for anyone who has an interest in permaculture.

... next I was going to ask you for your suggestions on permaculture, but you have already provided a link.

Once I get through all the resources you've already made available, I might eventually have something new to ask you.

Hoping I'll be breaking ground in Spring 2010.

I think you should plant something now.

Ever hear of guerrilla gardening? Is how I gardened b4 landing at Yonders...

Isn't there any community gardens where you live that would let you have a small plot?

Also, even renting, there's usually a way to create some kind of garden if we're capable of a little creative thinking.... here's a vegetable bed I just created...

I tried to get a plot in a community garden a couple years ago, and all the plots were booked. But if you went there and looked around, a lot of plots were untended. Sort of unfortunate.

We're getting ready to move to Arkansas in a couple weeks. We'll be moving into a rental house. Between moving there, finding a place to buy, and then moving again, thinking about planting anything this year is too overwhelming.

I was reading some advice about permaculture that suggested waiting a year to grow anything, while "observing" the lay of the land. But I don't think I'll wait that long!

Yeah, the suggested year is to see what plants and flowers you already have...

If you dig up the turf for a vegetable garden... you can't go wrong! It doesn't take a year to see there's nothing productive or of value where they've been mowing... Unless you get some pasture land that hasn't been mowed enough to kill the plants of value...

Sorry to hear that you gave up so easily on the community garden, Those people who weren't maintaining their plot would potentially have appreciated a request to share, & an offer to help...
