I heart Gayla.

Had to get that out. Anyhoo, if you’re ever in the DC / Baltimore area, I’ve got a garden one for you. I moved here from California in September. We’re just renting, but we’ve got great space in the back. I’m working on a before / after using organic methods. I’ve fenced off half the yard, so anytime you come in 08, you’ll have a very clear picture of what the homeowners were able to grow using “traditional” methods, and what I am going to try to accomplish organically. I’m using compost, compost tea, compost, compost, organic fertilizers like alfafa pellets, clover in lieu of the lawn, oh yeah and compost. I’m also trying to use plants that prefer drought, and the ones that need more water will be planted in such a way so that I can easily hand water with reclaimed veggie / pasta water, etc.

It’s all still before right now. Very, very before.

Late in the fall we’re going to switch the gate and start working on the other half of the yard.

Don’t know if this interests you, or if you’ll be my way, but just wanted to let you know.

Enjoy Austin. My brother lived there for some time. He worked at a place called the Alamo Draft House. Definitely Fluff-worthy, IMO.

Silently worshipping GT,
