Uploading photos
Not seasonal, I know...
It just felt like a permaculture blog should have a photo of food growing somewhere in it.
I've moved some things around. I found a way to upload whole documents (actually, what happens is that each of them would be another blog - see herb snippet).
We have our first comment!
I think we can keep going this way for now.

Why this blog?
This is an experiment - everything about it is subject to change. I have the time to start this, and blogging is what works best for me.
I picked the dark background because I thought it would look nice with photos, and because I really don't have that many choices through blogger. Any strong objections? We can look into alternatives!
Here's how I envision this: each gardener who wants to join this group should live in Boulder County, or have graduated from a Boulder permaculture course.
Each gardener can have their own section, where they update their garden with plans, projects, outcomes, successes, learning opportunities, and photos! Here on the right, there is a list of a few blogs from local gardeners I already know of. We can also have some of us going around like a reporter, taking photos and updating us on other people's gardens!
Anyone who wants to can leave comments on any post, and thus start a conversation. You can ask a question, share something you learned when you tried that, offer help with something that is giving the gardener a hard time, etc...
Let's see how it goes. If you want to start your own blog to link to this one, give me a call, or email, or leave a comment here.
Also, anyone can write a main post, anything that could be of interest to many of us, but is not specifically about your garden. We can also have main posts about "permaculture blitzes", or local projects where we can meet to get more done and have more fun.
Respectfully,
Myrto Ashe
