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
