If I could figure out how to get this to work ( I used to be able to view the farm this way ), I'd treat you all to a view of my '62 Plymouth Valiant, as well as the rest of the farm.
Haven't got around to "painting" the digitus impudicus with MAP; too much more pressing/productive work to do.

I didn't try to match scale and overlay on a photo but here is topography of my place. (roughly) The black arrow points to approximate location of my house and the red star is approximate location of the Maple trees. Contour interval is 10'. I can drive out the ridge to the spot directly north of the trees but it is then straight up and down to get too em. It's not really very far, I generally go down that little draw or straight off the point of the ridge where the lines are farther apart. If I do collect sap I'll just transfer it to milk jugs or 2 liter pop bottles and carry them up two or three at a time in my pack.  |

Well... this is awkward...  Green is dirt for growing, red is cement for containers (green stained cement, oddly enough). Alley is South of property, Front House is North. That's all she wrote. |

My printscreen button on the laptop does nothing and the picture I have transferred to photos when I try to put it here it says this site is out of space. I feel your pain. How do you gents just print off of google? |

I am ignorant of most of the methods and tech that has been developed to accommodate the urban garden Good balance and lots of cursing. |

I used paint.net, which is a great free photo editing program. If you have hit the printscreen button, you can open the photo editor and select 'paste' to open your screenshot image within the program. CTRL + v also pastes the image www.dotpdn.com/files/paint.net.4.0.21.install.zip |

For me to get a screen shot of our property i ended up getting one of the kids to do it on her laptop, it just was not going to work on this desktop. Its a snapshot of our 5.1 hectares, the house/garden/orchard/firewood block and native tree plantings is made up of the top section, south of that is our sheep paddock, as this photo is at least 6 years old you cant make out the poplar tree plantings ive done so far in this paddock, i'm slowly expanding the number of trees for not only the suckers being a food source for the sheep but timber/ firewood security. It stands out a different colour to the dairy farms next door as its had no cultivation for 18 years, unlike next door at least ive got a living building soil. We often talk about when the SHTF here, i look to the block of land at the bottom of the photo as a local food source/security, its owned by some city folk who come out in weekends, its 2 hectares of mainly Hazelnut, a few Almond and Chestnut trees. I'll get #2 daughter to do a closer up shot later of the house block to show whats what.  |

North field. A little bit of everything. Much of this field is devoted to seed production and breeding projects. Field is 205' X 160'  East field. Mostly corn, beans, squash, melons, and tomatoes. A few experimental crops. Field is 240' X 80'.  Squash field. Squash only in this field due to animal predation. Field is 340' X 22'.  Isolation field. Where I grow grapes, and a few precious crops that I want isolated. (squash and tomatoes last year). 66' X 40'  Greenhouse, and another isolation field. 140' X 25'.  Badlands  |
