Absolutely using the space that you have - if you have areas that are up high that gets a lot of sun send your plant up there the ones that climb
So I converted my whole property over to permaculture, the ground was so contaminated when we built our house we could not even grow grass or have worms in the soil. So I did research on how to recover my soil, the best option was long term permaculture. It is the best way of healing the Earth believe it or not this is the way back to basics. For millions of years nature has done this all and we're doing this by copying, it is so simple by using mulch and bark. Laying down the foundations is important for the microorganisms building up through the soil to attract worms and bugs. Mycelium is one of the most important things to have underneath your ground that's where the mulch and bark come in. This is my second year in. I planted many trees and have a lot more to plant within my small property, it is not a problem most plants will grow in shade but they do need the sun supplementing as well. I've studied my property for the past 2 years and I've made lots of mistakes but have more of an understanding of my land. I keep these crystals by me all the time and I recently gave away my protection stone, but I do have a lot around my property. Most of these Stones crystals are underneath the ground in the soil all over the place and put many in my pond for my fish to look at .

As an artist, the baker uses scientific knowledge of the chemistry of baking to create unique yet familiar dishes. Their experience and personal philosophies play a large role in the way they work. Bakers use flavor, texture, and visual appeal to produce an edible art piece.

I tend to be somewhat hermitish, living in the forested mountains. I "feel" and lean on the shy-side until I know people. I also have a very slightly twisted sense of humor (in a good way), with those I am comfortable with. Reaching out to others of like energies is something new for me I have been doing the last few years. I was a sculptor-potter for 20 yrs, doing the Ren faires in the Sierras. I was PotWench. Specialized in dragons and wizard figures that were lights or burners. When we moved, I sold the equipment and did glass work beads for a bit. Moved again and settled up here at the top of Idaho. No place for my torch, sadly. I spin, knit and I am relearning embroidery. I am also learning how to paint. I made an embroidered crystal grid for my window facing the cell towers on the mountaintop across to way. I also make tarot and other card "boxes" using fabrics and crystals for people I like. No charge, I hope to give them a smile and enjoy using them in exchange. I had posted a how-to and, soon, a follow-up for people who want to make their own boxes. My website I have galleries of all the craft stuff I have made throughout the years. The blog/article part is where I write how-to's, recipes (I adore cooking, especially baking), recipes for soap and a few personal item, and gardening. I grow the majority of our vegetables. I should add, sitting up straight and serious- I am a crystalholic and want no cure. I especially love hearts, have 2 Celtic knot tattoos I designed and will gravitate to heart-shaped stones like a magnet. For sharing and helping, I share what I learn as I make something, including mistakes. With the group, I can share whatever I have learned so far and my mistakes in those areas or whatever else anyone wants to know about me and my experiences.

🙏❤️🙏. Thank you brothers Brian Barnette and Brian Lunsford for the gardening tips. The crystals saved them!!!! That and peroxide mix. I need more crystals..... I gotta find some. Maybe The squash will fruit now if I put crystals in them too.
Backyard gardening has inspired me to take an interest in the origins of my food and enables me to make better choices about what I eat to control my blood sugar, blood pressure and inflamation. Plus Everything tastes so much better than stor bought foods. I enjoy bartering and trading with local growers too for things I can not grow in this limited space. Sharing with those who don't have much feels so good. There is always plenty to spare.

Green House & Garden Project
Small DIY Greenhouse
Composting day!!!! All-natural compost from a year's worth of leftover veggies! Maters growing real good and all the veggies are hungry for these nutrients. Feeding time.
This project is about a novice gardener trying to grow edibles in tight restricted spaces from the ground up using his greenhouse design suggestions. He told me to document the process on Facebook or my own youtube channel. So I did just that and continued well after his ascending. I think he would have been pleased that so many in our soul tribe community stepped in to help me succeed. His spirit is with me often in this place, guding me in my many tasks. We started a small gardening group on facebook messenger to exchange ideas and knowledge. I continue learning and adding variety to my gardens and sharing the results, good or bad, with everyone.
Theresa,
Just sent you a couple of do-it-yourself Green House designs for small outside spaces since you can't go underground. All you need is lumber, mesh fencing, and transparent plexiglass. You already have a level concrete slab to construct around. You can build out two or three shelf tiers (see photo) inside to line up your paint bucket containers or other planters for drainage. It does not matter if you have never grown food before. Don't freak out! You will learn and folks like me are around to help you get started. Keep me posted on your progress and we can show everyone how it's done on a future show. Thanks for taking me up on the challenge beautiful soul!
