David Pike's Comments

Happy Birthday David!  Seed swap in planning stages for 3rd or 4th weekend of Jan...We are looking for a new location.  Most likely we'll need help setting up tables & chairs & takedown too.

I'll be traveling with my tent & garden hand tools to warmer lands from Jan-March!  Give a call if you come to the islands!

David, hope to see you this Sat at Inspiration Farm for autumn seed-swap/barter fair!

sure David come on by and get some garlic. I will be home all this week.

Hey David, sure anytime today, Fri, if our schedules flow for bringing home hoe & book. (phone). I plan to drive to Fruit Fest in Skagit Sat am in case you want to carpool. I hope to be back in time for event at Ground Floor at 5pm...room in car for about 4 of us.

Well heck yes! Dumpstah Funk yeah. Bought their set for $5 - almost 2 hours - the best funk show I've ever seen... how was your Meltdown?

Hi David, I've just changed our group name to:
"Earth Gardens: Edible-Medicinal-Wild Habitats
(Permaculture Beyond Organic)".
I'll be sending out a comment on the site soon...I'd sure like your support/encouragement though its a super busy time of year!

Nice profile pic. It's very expensive. Photographers make twice what models do, so you can subtract the $20,160 from the $40,320 and send me $20,160. As you can see, I take my own profile pictures ; )

ha ha Don't know if you're joking or serious. Probably both! Well, i can take it down if you want, but i think it's a good one. I didn't know it was going to be in the slideshow rotation, gez! opt out?

Hi David,
I'm going out to the farm today to check on the beans. But last year they took forever to come up (it was dry) and I planted them late, so I wouldn't worry about it too much. I'll give you a report. Are you moved yet? I was trying to coordinate getting you and Heather out to my fields but it's too chaotic to coordinate with others...maybe when my crazy census work schedule is over in a few weeks.

Just composted my Tyfon cover crop out at sandies and put in tomatoes. the cover crop looked awsome! (but no buckwheat seemed to have sprouted & I thought I'd planted some). I'm sensing some of my buckwheat seeds are not very viable.....I"m understanding now how important the actual mix of seeds is in the seed balls... we really needed to have somthing that not only could act as nurse crops, but also grow fat root in the soil....next seedball fling for sure will scrounge some radish or tyfon to add to mix...I've not yet done my second toss....Let me know about the hulu hoe, or if you need a loan of the broad fork in the future.

Hi David,
Yes, it's in the same place in my living room, and I'm happy to get it back to you. What shall we do? I can bring it to the next potluck at your place. Otherwise call to coordinate schedules if you will be in town - 738-2148 or 312-5700 x 204.

David,

Sorry the Ning as not as user friendly as desired sometimes. I no of no work arounds, other than to save your document as an html file (you can do that at Google Docs), and then copy the html code, open the blog post, click on html, and paste in the html code and save that way.

P.S. Mine is julietthompson"AT"comcastDOTnet. Phone is 738-2148. See you Wednesday?

Hi David,
I am so glad you're interested in working on the timeline for the Hall of Hope! Can you send me your email or other contact info besides this system so I can cc: you with the other folks I am emailing about this? It will be a fun historical interview process.
Juliet

Yes for sure to see your garden-farm!..I'm learning to google earth so I can have a preview look!
Remember our garden work trade today at 2:30...I've just turned on my cell so I'll check messages soon!
I have contact with a landowner who is open to having someone on her land living in her RV and in exchange for growing Lots of food & watering plants - let me know if you ever meet someone you can recommend.

So great to have you visit my current temperate forest garden - Heartsong Garden Sanctuary! Please remember my plants when you obtain sources of compost & pooh and lets split the cost & labor!

Hi David,
It's funny that I met you a couple times last week - you were recommended to help me with a timeline for Bellingham's environmental movement for the Hall of Hope at the Great Unleashing. Sounds like fun, eh? What do you think??
Juliet

Thanks David. Could you let me know the best way to contact you?

Hi David, I hope your back has recovered from the 22 yards of compost. I was just out there today with 2 classes doing more sheet mulching and they had some much fun getting dirty! This Saturday, 10 -1 we're having another sheet mulching extravaganza...this time at Squalicum High School. Only 15 yards of compost this time ;) Maybe I'll see you there. Cheers!
