I stumbled upon your posts and absolutely love them!! Love the idea of homesteading (or, in my case, at least starting an urban garden) - and have converted the front lawn into an edible garden (well, first year)- I've planted hardy kiwi (exciting!), mulberry trees, and planted perennial tarragon, sage, oregano, mint, chives... and ah yes, a fountain!!

Love the dehydrated currant idea! Never would have thought of it!
