  In this world, my escape to your channel is pure joy...maybe even a requirement. I grew up on a large homestead in Norway, not quite a farm. The organized "mess," chickens, and a few farm animals, guided by my grandmother, were great food producers. The food and root cellar was massive for a little boy. After harvest time, I would walk through it with a flashlight to look at our bounty and filled bins. I did not feel rich. I felt wealth. And without being taught, I came to know the seasons, the land, and those who lived on it. You are a gift with every posting.

=====Permaculture Garden In The High Desert=====

My grandfather died in 2006, the property was lined with fruit trees around its perimeter, lemons and other citruses, white and black mulberries, various varieties of figs, peaches, grape vines, olive trees, some more exotic things like loquats and prickly pears, with a rose and flower bed out the front that my grandmother kept, and an enormous veggie patch lot with trench rows/raised beds he used to grow tomatoes, melons, squash, all kinds of herbs, beans, potatoes, cucumbers, enough to feed 30+ people easy year round. He had a huge chicken coop and multiple sheds, a huge wood fired oven, a green house, an outhouse. All completely wiped, levelled and stripped bare when the new owners moved in — every tree, every plant, every bit of life. Veggie garden turned to a great big lawn, a beautiful Mediterranean style paved alfresco area with citruses, grape vines, passionfruit vines and olive trees completely gone and turned into a raised wooden deck, and the fruit trees along the fence line ripped out and replaced with bog standard ferns and palms from a generic big box store.
