Jim, this is the Drip System Web Site I started with.  You should know that I am an impatient web browser so there may be better sites.  I have learned much and tried some different things these past three years.  Feel free to call me if you have questions.

Yes, David!  Another example of a "transaction" within the system ... community sufficiency! ... and technology to boot!

Look for events expanding beyond the gardening system.  Building Bee Hives, Greenhouses . . . Raising Chickens, Fish . . . DIY Solar . . .

My good friend Margaret Emerson invested some of her time into our promotional material.  We are scheduling events for 2012 with this common theme:

So good to meet everyone that attended the Applewood Permaculture Institiute meeting today.  Looking forward to the notes on the team groups thoughts.  Thanks to David for hosting and all the David's for sharing your info : )

The forecast low for Saturday night/ Sunday morning is 34 degrees.  If that remains unchanged, we will likely lose some tomatoes and squashes in frost prone areas that night.

If you have some favorite tender plants that still have fruit ripening, (cool season crops are fine) and some old sheets or blankets (plastic does not work), you can possibly save them.  I would go out Friday afternoon and put the sheet or blanket over the top.  Leave the plant covered until it warms up on Sunday.

For tomatoes that you don't want to cover, you can pick any fruit that has started to turn . . . the first hint of yellow . . . and put them on your kitchen counter (or wrapped in newspaper in a paper bag) and they will ripen over the next several weeks.  They are not as good as vine ripened but much better than grown for shipping.

Pumpkins and winter squashes will probably be OK even if the vines are killed.  It will not be cold enough to freeze the fruits . . . so you can pick them later.  When you harvest pumpkins and squashes store them in a cool dry place.  The sugar will start to turn to starch as soon as you pick them . . . but they will still taste good into January.

Now is the time to step back, relax, enjoy the fruits of our labor . . . and contemplate what we want to do for next year.  I hope to see you at the Hugelkultur event October 15,:
