Thanks, I was hoping you were doing some desert condition gardening.  I can
read all the desert gardening manuals out there, but there is nothing like
hearing it from someone who is doing it.  My immediate neighbor east of me,
gardens, but not at the homestead level.  There is a neighbor about 2 miles
north who has a much more substanital garden and now that I see her plants
are all pulled up, it's time to go pay a visit and find out what she has had
success with here.  I really would like peas...... but not sure I'll have the
right growing season, even if I try for a late fall harvest.

Oh, how I wish I could be of some help to you!

Unfortunately, I am merely a semi-professional lurker on this awesome list.

I do live in the desert - 20 miles east of Barstow, CA - midway between the
15 and the 40 (speaking of that - Gene - where is Don these days?). My own
personal piece of dirt (5 acres of sand and scrub brush is less than a mile
up

the road - I can see it from here, where I am renting a 'mountain cabin in
the
desert') - but the plans I had for it (1987) were quashed when I had to
leave work and go on disability. My 'significant other' is 82 now, and
I sent
him, back in '05, to care for his - now 106 - mother in the San Francisco
Bay
area. We see each other 2-3 times a year, if we're lucky.

I am closely following your progress because it is the 'new' people,
like
you, who - along with these very knowledgeable list denizens - who give hope
to
those of us who have resigned ourselves to living life from the sidelines.

I admire your spunk and your enthusiasm! Don't ever give up fighting the
good fight!

Sandy, are you farming in desert conditions?

The list has been so bizzy, bizzy the last several days! As usual, I've
just
been hangin' back and absorbing 'stuff'...

But I can't let the 'anti-doctor' comment pass by. So glad to meet

another!

I can't begin to recount how many times I've been prescribed
conflicting
medications...by the same physician - sitting right there in front of me,
consulting his dog-eared edition of the PDR...

Last time around, it took them four days - in a hospital bed - and 7
(seven!) drugs to finally figure out that my gall bladder and I need to part
company.

Pleeze!

Two of those prescriptions, in conjunction, are 'known to cause early
onset

dementia'. Maybe I wrote this before? Sometimes memory does not serve (the


result, no doubt, of listening to too many doctors) <g>

So remind me how the farmers in Zimbabwe repelled the men with guns who came
to steal their farms where they "produced the food". The guns always win.
The strong always survive. That is the way of nature
