Local Vibe All Around

Local food for local people. Close to the earth isn't a bad thing. People in this community stay pretty well connected. And it's that kinda web that is needed to get the info out, and the action in, about things like Gasland. If you think it's a good idea to "frack" (hydraulic fracturing) for natural gas, think again. This fact sheet will inform ye on thine own ignorance. 
So peeps, despite the carrot called cash profit for selling your mineral rights, it is likely not worth the cost of having your land practically ruined, your property value slashed, and your personal and environmental health severely threatened/harmed. Inform(ation).
Estoria doesn't even need to dream of local food, it has come true. And when I say local, I mean front yard. The orange cherry 'maters are the sweetest I've ever had. Maybe it's all that good horse poo and blood meal? Maybe organic/biodynamic farming methods actually makes food taste yummy?

Fuzzy pic on top of da mountain...it's actually dark but that darn flash made it appear different than reality...funny how that works, eh?

On the way up to this fine party, I witnessed a few dancing ferns...no camera trick.

Nice work on the tomatoes (and Estoria, of course). I'm working hard to keep up with mine before they finish up, including pureeing some and freezing them for sauces and stews during the cold months. It's so nice to pull out tomato sauce in December from homegrown tomatoes to make warm dishes. I hope all is going well with the new one in your life and try and get some sleep :) -Tim

Tim,

Last Sunday we had a light frost in Canaan, which zapped some of my plants, like cukes, basil (I had so much!)and 'maters. Some of the latter veggies may make it...I hope. Of course, the swiss chard and other cold-hardy guys are beaming.

I have substituted sleep with coffee. Harhar. Been working so far. BUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!
