    That's exactly it. I too am- although a bit younger- trying to get a sustaining food thing in motion! the multi-stemmed corn that permaculturists are into is up ahead for me. Right now I'm getting my beans together. I have a few mustard varities in the ground- very light down here in florida. Well, in about a few days we'll know the sprouting test results.
    I'm also requesting a few other beans from far
    away places....check this out- Florida has
    more fresh water springs- than anyplace else
    on Earth. plus a 12 month growing season...

    this year my campout has got a few mustard greens, a few radish seedlings, lettuces and ridicchio.. I intend to master the bean, and pea, get a few taters in the ground
    as well....

    free food in the woods is the song of abundance and enough
    to share . ' in the woods ' just means a peaceful free place to
    gather as family .

    every farmer will a have a philosophy of abundance . but you can see
    the differences among them , as jesus say , you know them by their
    fruits and nuttiness .

    I don't know who Archy Roach is. It looks like he's a landscaper...

    Last week I did my seed shopping. I picked up at convenient local
    stores- lots of beans- pole and bush variety, Stevia, and one of
    my favorite summer blooming annuals Mexican Sunflower...

    My beans are sprouting- the weather has been warming... Spring
    is coming on!
    got a rain shower- that is what did it, how marvelous.
    Keep gardening, John H. zone 9b Florida

    well, just a quick look at what I've been upto. Mustard greens, Pigeon peas,
    and a look at the garden- a vista thing. Gardening is what you grow, or what grows and of course everyone will tell you .... I love to plant seeds,
    and am ready to join others in an all-out-seed-planting place to live on.

    Vertical Gardening is easy if you just hang a few planters on a wall. You can use any material that suits your style. Try Pinterest here Vertical Garden
    for a ton of inspiration.

    I'm wanting to start my own garden as well. I have a few tomato plants but that's it. My dad grows a large garden every year and I plan to keep up the tradition. It's a lot of work but a labor of love. Good luck and happy gardening.

    this year i'm growing radishes, swiss chard, spinach, lettuce, scallions, eggplant, tomatoes, artichokes,potatoes, and carrots. this is the first time where space has been an issue so i'm limited to those, and trying to get as much yield with as little space as possible is a different challenge
