i heart winter-spring.

      Sometimes i almost wish that google put a chip in my head so i could keep yous guys updated on things as i'm doing them.  As i stands, i mostly just wanna play in the dirt so i find myself with a swarm of projects to update after a few weeks.
    Let's start with our impulse-ordered strawberries and see how far we get from there (the sun's coming up and i can feel the yard calling me...beckoning me.....).  If you recall, we were shipped 50 bare-root strawberry plants the first wk in january, and i was caught entirely unprepared.  A minimal amount of research later, i decided i would heel in the plants in a container and keep them in the shed to try and maintain dormancy.
   Let's talk about stacking functions, real quick, which is fundamental to finding the good life.  Function stacking is a permaculture principle that allows you to maximize output from any given task or object.  To me, it's a way of thinking about projects that helps me avoid unnecessary labor.
