A fertile time
For me, this is the Year of the Potato. Potatoes aren't supposed to grow well in our area, because our alkaline soil reduces yields and gives them scab. Since plants can be contrary, potatoes have decided to flourish in m… Continue

Penelope said… - There appear to be two heather woods on this site now. I just noticed some of your photos I haven't seen before -- lovely garden. How are you doing? I have spinach that appeared to winter over and grow under the snow. I've never had that happen before. We had 4 inches of snow this week and the storm isn't completely over yet. This is my spring break. I've only managed to spend time outdoors twice. Grading papers too. Ugh.

- Heather I noticed you are interested in Beer brewing. My husband brews too, I'm thinking about videoing him doing it. Should we start a beer brewing group?

- Hi Heather,
Your photos are great! A garden really should have some pets in it; your dogs are adorable! Is one of them a husky? I have two who are currently imagining themselves back on the tundra--it's snowing hard here in Maine.
Cheers,
Annie

- Hi Heathger, I've just realised that I haven't got your blog, "Albuquerque Local Food" on my link list onmy blog... Sadly though, your site doesn't support rss feeds so my blog won't automatically update with your latest content.
How's life with you anyway???
All the best.

Darrol Shillingburg said… - Hi Heather - good to hear from you,
Sounds like an interesting and progressive project for the Albuquerque city gov to initiate and support. Its fine with me if they wish to post some of my writing on their own website - but, some of it is wirtten for gardeners with considerable experience and may be more appropriate if rewritten with less experienced gardeners in mind. I'll assume they understand their readers and gardening well enough to sort that out.
I don't know about food gardeners in Albu - but the local Master Gardeners should be able to assist you. Both of the numbers below should connect you with Albuquerque MG's.
Albuquerque Garden Center
10120 Lomas Blvd NE (Eubank & Lomas Blvds.)
Telephone: 292-7144
Bernalillo County Cooperative Extension Service (CES)
1510 Menaul NW (West of 12th St.)
Telephone: 243-1386
The Bernalillo County CES is open year round from 9:00 to 4:30. Please call before visiting when the hotline is not operating to be sure someone will be there that can assist you. CES offices are closed for lunch from 12:00 to 12:30 year round.
If there is any way that I can assist you or the project, please let me know - sounds like a great project to be involved with.
regards,
Darrol

- The cat in the tree photo was really fun. I don't have pets, but there are several neighborhood cats who have my yard on their itinerary.

DrFood said… - Thanks for the welcome! Some of my parents are interested in better nutrition, but sadly most of my patients' parents are just trying to get by. I'm doing well when I convince them to give their kids water to drink. . .

I like what you said about local in New Mexico. Not many people appreciate what is it like to garden with infrequent rain. Even "Farmer Monty" - Los Poblanos CSA - supliments his offerings with fruits and vegetables from Arizona and the west coast states.

HOW TO - ADD A LINK
Several people have experienced difficulty putting working links into comments and blogs etc and I know it is clumsy.... so here is how you do it.....
First type the text you want to appear.... ie IAN'S PAGE
Then go back and highlight the link text.
Then hit the hyperlink button...a pictogram of a chain link.
Your browser may intervene and request permission to allow temporary scripting or some similar message. Allow it and go back and highlight the text again
