Thanks @gringalicious! I must admit, you're to thank for my recent smoothie binge. It's a very nice board, and probably the only attractive surface we've got to photograph on...maybe you can get @rigaronib

the weather's just starting to warm up down here, so there will definitely be more hot peppers coming ;) thanks for dropping in! Great looking website, btw, thanks. I'll be visiting that once we move over

seriously cool...that's a gourmet looking salad. I munch on dandelion leaves on principle now when I see them. Even stopped the landlord pulling some out. We have a really ratty looking mallow that grows

Being in the southern hemisphere it's kind of funny seeing all the posts from the north, all the food pages showing lists of recipes to use up the excess of things that are totally out of season here...

Thank you! We actually planted a piece of ginger the same time as the lemongrass...it's since been dug up with a surprising amount of new root. Definitely a nice addition indoors or out.

Thanks for the read. I've just been reading about Joel Salatin's 'grass farms' and how these grazing patterns are part of a holistic approach.

fine looking peppers! I over-wintered 2 Carolina reapers, one against the house getting morning sun, and one more exposed...funnily enough the exposed one is starting to green up (mid-spring here in

I used to check the gold price each morning to see if the collapse had arrived....these days I check DBKGn.

Sounds like it! Yes, we've seen it, and taken a lot of good information from it. Paul can be a bit over the top, and falls back a lot on the 'design' concept over evolution, which I don't have much time

Cool. I would like to grow some wheat in France (just out of curiosity) and play with the milling process. We could never grow enough for our usage, obviously. We're lucky enough here in Australia to have
