On the way out of Celt's seed saving class last week I saw where someone had left a few tomatoes plants that had seen better days with a sign saying free. Unable to resist my need to help everything…Continue

The Global Butterfly Effect

"We are Life, in human form. Ancestors of the stars and galaxies, children of the oceans and forests. We are creative expressions of Nature, as much a part of this planet as the rivers, trees, mountains and butterflies."



~ The Global Butterfly Effect ~



For thousands of years people in Western cultures have been wrestling with the illusions we've spun from our dualistic mindsets and beliefs. It's…

Hi JC!  See 'Healing Toxic Soils” - ie aminopyralid contamination discussion on Earth Gardens group -http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/healing-toxic-soils-waters

Most of compliled info from myself, Walter, you, & others is on this EarthGarden group discussion....But not the most recent stuff you have posted in your Aminopyralid group that you may end.   Take a look at EarthGarden discussion, and compare to your Aminopyralid group, to see where I have some info gaps....Or maybe consider writing a blog and preserving your group info there.

Two other discussion links you might review to see if we have some gaps in info & resources are at:

Compost & animal poo' - http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/compost-animal-poo-organic

Nourishment...& Fertilizers”- http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/group/organic/forum/topics/nourishment-soil-amendments

I hope you'll consider attending the October permaculture convergence in park near Port Townsend! http://transitionwhatcom.ning.com/events/northwest-permaculture-convergence Its a great time to come together as a human tribe for camping & sharing info & resoureces.  Thanks for all you do!

Thanks J.C. for your welcome - my first.  I have a lot to learn about mushrooms but am aware of some of their amazing qualities.  I have a general science background with no particular specialty interests.  That means I am interested in everything as they form elements of the web of life.  But as I look at the forest I stop by and size up the trees in their individual characteristics and varieties mindful of the ecological interconnections.  That applies to mushrooms and people too.  Hope to get to know you better in the future.

Hi JC!  I attended two of the Ag Extension talks on Herbicidal Contamination of Dairy 'Compost'. I haven't written up yet what I learned. If you want to connect on the phone sometime, Friday would be good. I'd like to hear what you learned.

JC, could you give me a call. I have a question about the 'shroom thing you gave me after seed packing at Celt's last Sunday. Thanks, Angela 733-3541

Hi J.C.,
I talked with Heather and she is not able to come visit your place this Saturday like we had talked about on the phone. Are you free to have visitors next Wed, Thurs, or Fri instead (Feb 2, 3, or 4)? We were thinking we would include a few people (Janaki and one other) who wanted to come to your place before but didn't make it.... only if that is OK with you.
Thank you! --Chris Wolf

JC! Awsome youtube post on 'Gardens of Destiny'! I've added to the resource pages within both the Seed-Savers group and Earth Gardens group! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMjGg9GeKPk&feature=player_embedded

My breathing deepens when I watch this!

Hi JC ! Good to see you again down in the lower valley at Inspiration this Sat! 

 I'm still sorting seeds for the Sunday Seed-Swap.  After that I'd enjoy carpooling with a few folks up to your fungi forest sanctuary & lab to help out!   Lets get in touch after the swap!

J.C. Hope to see you in the forest around Deming sometime. I am here most Tuesdays from 1:00 to 3:30. I am excited to learn more about the world of fungi and how to integrate them into my garden and shady yard and see what projects you have going. I would enjoy helping out any way I can.

Janaki
