Mr H - Thanks LOL Can see I'm going to be busy tomorrow morning...
Looks to me as though you are living a little like we are. Which is wonderful. I am glad we found you..c
What lovely videos, and as I'm catching up on your posts, I can't help but be reminded of those in past generations being devastated by a poor growing season (and more). Then, I see your shiny orange bins and am embarrassed at how badly I want to know where to find them. Oh, we are so lucky. Thank you, once again, for educating us. ♥ this.
Dani - I think you will find some of those videos most interesting, especially the ones about his younger 3 year old forest gardens in the making.
Cecilia g - It is indeed a wonderful way to live isn't it, glad you paid us a visit.:)
Ms. Adventuress - Keep a close eye out for those orange bins to go on sale right after Halloween. Mrs. H said that she found those bins at Albertsons grocery store marked down to near nothing a couple years ago.
And yes, I agree that we are so very fortunate when compared to the struggles that people faced in the past when the success of ones harvest meant everything.
Educational, inspirational, entertaining, and amazing. Don't know what else to say.
Very interesting videos - although I have to admit I was often distracted by the beautiful cat that joined him in the videos quite often! The concept of growing a diversity of perennials and trees is really powerful. I truly wish I had more property to be able to really do that with some enthusiasm. I do have quite a few natives and near natives that are worked into our landscaping areas (evergreen huckleberries, red huckleberries, and salal) which gives us food when we think to harvest them before the wild life gets to them.
.09 Acres - Yes, Michael Pilarski is all of that.
Laura - One of these days I am going to stumble upon the all elusive salal berry bush...I know it is growing around here somewhere but so far it evades me. Ah yes cats, there is one sitting in my lap as I type this...a little black kitten that I will have to introduce on my blog sometime soon I suppose.:) Every where I go...cats.
Brilliant video's, Mr H - thank you very much for the link ;)
Dani - Glad you found them interesting.:)
Starting watching them, then got sidetracked by a video recommended on the side entitled 'zero budget farming' In trigued I started watching that one when I realised that it is in Malayalam, a language I only have a very basic grasp of. Fascinating subject though, forest gardening.
Heiko - It's easy to get distracted isn't it.:) I think you will recognize many of the plants he talks about in this series of videos and find that most, if not all of them, will grow in your climate.
great videos! He's right on!
Wendy - I thought so too.:)
Thank you for these! One of the most inspirational books I've ever read was Dave Jacke's Edible Forest Gardens. My county library system has limited resources on the subject, so these are good to know about.
Leigh - Thanks, that looks like a very interesting book. Maybe they will have it at our library so I can take a look at it too.
Darn.. it removed your comments. I really liked the quotes you had and your insight.
heads up, he is putting on this event and presenting in spokane. I will be going all three days. see some of you there?

Casey - I have a feeling you will really enjoy this and I'm a bit envious as we will not be able to attend. Have fun and learn lots of new stuff!
I love Michael - I buy all his surplus crops and sell them to folks in Seattle. Casey, I'm attending the conference in Spokane and actually leading two workshops. I'd love to meet you!
I'll have to check these videos out. Thank you for referencing them. Being on a limited monthly allotment makes videos a bit challenging.
Sustainable Eats- I didn't even know Michael Pilarski existed until recently and am amazed at the knowledge he posseses on edible plants.
Lynn - Darn these videos anyway, now I have a whole list of new plants to try.:) Hope you get a chance to view them.
