It's been quite a while since we posted
to our blog. We have been doing so much unrelated to Full Circle
House that we haven't gotten around to writing anything. That has
changed this year. Full Circle House is under going a
transformation. Rosalie and I have decided to stop watering our
lawns. Not only is it a bad idea in a desert environment, but in
lieu of the current drought it is a wasteful practice as well.
However, our yards are not going to be dirt and weeds (though
currently it sure looks that way), but we intend to fill them with
fruits, vegetables and useful plants.
We are starting an Urban Homesteading
project that will take many years to perfect, but is currently
showing results. We have a raised bed dedicated to herbs (Come on by
if you need Basil). A raised bed that is part flowers to attract
pollenating insects and part vegetables and a raised bed for
vegetables. There are two blueberry bushes growing in wine barrel
halves and we have five different varieties of tomatoes in
containers. This post has a photo of one our tomato harvests. In
the front, left to right are Early Girl, German Queen and Lemon Boy
tomatoes. The small ones in the back are Black Princes.
We are trying to figure out how to post
pictures without having to do a post, but we do post photos to
Scott's Facebook page.
