	From high desert, New Mexico. A blend of arid conditions and mountainous climates. Working towards being completely self sufficient. In balance with my surroundings wide awake, and aware. The possibilities of plant breeding and how little credit most give it amaze me. Earth is a living eco-system, and will have a self regulating system of our removal, if necessary. We must learn to ride the wave

Under that is a layer of light colored clay. Our sons will soon have more information as they learn to dig deeper and deeper holes.

I'm not ashamed to say I'm totally jealous of your space . Great looking garden. But it's good to see I'm not the only one whose melons are seriously under grown due to crazy weather .
