I only have about 1/3 of an acre but have tons of citrus trees, pine trees and shade. I'm in Mesa so we are surrounded by citrus. If you wanted to tuck one hive in our yard we might be able to take one. Sure would help our garden to pollinate better.
My husband and I kept bees in town 20 years ago until the domestic bees were taken over by the africanized bees. So sad, it was wonderful to have fresh honey and bees wax for quilting. They were so aggressive that we had to get rid of the hives. H...
I second Debra's comment. I am very interested in potentially raising meat birds but am also in PDC. I will look into volunteers b/c I may have a source for a chicken or two.

Yay - congrats!!
I'm currently brining a bunch that I foraged. I'll keep ya posted, regarding any tips. I need to change the brine for the third time this weekend. I tasted them last weekend, and they were softening up, but still very bitter.
My husband and I used to keep bees in our yard in Colorado. After we moved here, we were afraid to keep bees in our suburban yard because of the high possibility of africanization, which is much more of a problem in a climate with a non-freezing w...

Let us all know when you get to town. There are folks on this list who are realtors (and who know of permaculture homes for sale), handy-persons, desert gardening experts, biodesiel converters/makers etc. We try to keep money in the community as much as possible so feel free to inquire here if you need help with something.

Hi Lynn - one pot big enugh for three herbs. One that is about 15 inches across at the top would work perfect!
I get those too. I think they're cabbage loopers.
Other than picking them off by hand, I'm had also been spraying the leave with bT.
My latest strategy is to spread out some diatomaceous earth atop the soil and plants. Hoping that will help.
I just went out and bought more frost cloth today as it is usually December we get our first frosts. Last year was so mild though I have been wondering how this year will be!
Sue, great! My swiss chard is just starting out and I can't wait for it as it is one of my favorite veggies! I often wonder whether to leave things longer to see what they will do, your swiss chard being a great example of that!
You know, I don't know exactly what it was but was rather surprised that it grew so big because it didn't bear any resemblance to any of the pumpkins I seeded! We didn't eat it, but saved it to carve for Halloween. It held up pretty well too for t...
My swiss chard is amazing, it was good during the summer, but it has gone crazy since its cooled off. I jumped the gun and pulled out my zucchini plants, sorry I did that now, reading what others are experiencing.
Oops, sorry about your zukes Dana. I am getting many tomatillo's now, they seem to like it cooler because in the summer they grew big, had lots of flowers, but produced no fruit. Feast or famine right? :)
