I was wondering if you knew about Ben Falk, who gardens in Vermont and follows permaculture design.<br /><br />When I watched this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ht-wlOPa8I I thought of you, because he often described the conditions of living in Vermont and how he struggled to grow stuff on his land. The youtube video goes for nearly 11 minutes. He has some longer ones, going over an hour, but didn't think they'd be too forgiving on dial-up.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-23116769375635154222014-06-13T02:35:42.198+10:002014-06-13T02:35:42.198+10:00Thank you for sharing this link.

Just little quirks here and there. <br />I think that the Golden Seal needs to be moved actually but it needs a lot of shade and I am trying to find an ideal location for it where I can watch it closely. I was just given a bunch of plants by my neighbor who is thinning out perennials so I am going to be busy with other things until I do find that magic spot. It doesn't seem to mind where its at but its also doesn't seem to be thriving. Just surviving. linda marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201901762476827737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-20664333012957285022014-06-08T09:04:00.898+10:002014-06-08T09:04:00.898+10:00Something is up with blogger.

I said I hope your golden seal transplants well, and if you manage to propagate any new plants from it, you could try it at different locations around the yard too. I was really happy with how well our propagation attempts went during summer. The trick was to provide heat while ensuring they didn't lose moisture.Chris https://www.blogger.com/profile/13715819899708384147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8284944855633609232.post-89936910997132057522014-06-05T00:52:11.251+10:002014-06-05T00:52:11.251+10:00I think that the most important take away from thi...I think that the most important take away from this video is the recommendation to do research on any given crop. I don't think we have a magic area that I have yet discovered anyway. I have noticed our soil varies quite a bit from spot to spot-more clay in some areas than others so I think that in our climate that is the key to success. I see where plants don't thrive as well as they could for example. I have to transplant my golden seal to another area but where it stands, the comfrey and nettles just love it. linda marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14201901762476827737noreply@blogger.com
