greetings from a teeny tiny farm.

3. a little bit of everything!

trying to build a permaculture here, so for started i am trying to grow soil! i am in the historic bed of lake michigan, so it is mostly sand here, with just enough dirt to look black. awful.
so i am building a hugel bed, and violating several city ordinances. they are looking the other way for now, and i promised to zip it up as quickly as possible.
but we will have a dwarf orchard of about 20 trees, berries, asparagus, anything that comes back. trying mushrooms.
most of the veggies are heirlooms (hat tip to NRaleighLiberal), tomatoes of every size and color and peppers of all sorts. lots of potatoes including sweet, onions, carrots and beets, cukes, a couple small melons, lots of herbs, beans, kinda you name it.
also have a small flock of chickens going. i have 7 that are about a month old, and 5 that i picked up yesterday that are 2 day old little puffballs.

no tickets or law suits yet, but am fighting city hall. you see, according to the zoning, this lot is vacant. so, no water, no electric, without a building and no buildings unless i build a house. nutso. got the regulation crazy bitter loser neighbor, tho. gotta have one of those. this is the city, after all.
