Hi Toby,
 
 I have some plan designs of my 'urban site' in Johnson, VT a very cold-hardy 
design for a downtown duplex.  Its .22 acres and was all parking lot upon our 
arrival (fortunately gravel!).  Much is building focused (it dominates the 
lot: adding a significant greenhouse, passive solar retrofit, etc.), but also 
some landscaping elements, kiwis, chickens, nut-bearing arborsculpture 
fences, bees, water feature in drainage, etc.  It would probably make more 
sense if I included A & A drawings and context maps, but I guess the design 
stands alone well enough.
 
 Also, a number of my students have made really incredible designs for small 
lots.  Many are architects or otherwise professional designers, so pretty top 
notch drawings.  Would you like me to cast a general call to my students over 
the years or solicit a few whose designs particularly stood out?
 
 Exciting to hear there'll be a new version of Gaia's garden coming out!
 
 How did things go in NY, by the way?
 
 Best,
 Keith

Just to add some spice to the passionflower discussion, I've been growing 
these (p. incarnata Maypop) here in northern Vermont as die-back perennials 
(we're traditionally considered 4a/ 3b, although are increasingly behaving as 
zone 5).  Awesome flowers, inconsistent pollination, but I have had some 
fruit set and haven't hand pollinated (yet!).

Thanks for the discussion.  Anyone anywhere else really cold playing with 
these?

Peace and Passionfruit,
Keith

I keep planting them every year but they never make it thru the  
winter.  You must have a lot of snow cover or a micro-climate where  
you plant them.  I'm in Zone 4b in SW Wisconsin.
