Hi Fellow Permies,

My name is Alex and I'm originally from Chile, but moved to the US about a year and a half ago because my wife is from the Northeast.  In Chile, I taught permaculture design and specialized in straw bale, cob, and cordwood construction.  Now I am adjusting to the culture and busy turning my backyard into a "Corona Victory Garden."  (Technically the garden took root in 2019, but it's taken on new significance this year.).   I'd love to get to know some more Permies out there.  Will be sharing and posting photos soon.  Nice to meet you all.  -Alex

Hi (sort-of) neighbor!  I'm from NEPA, too, and I know there's at least one more person active on Permies from the region.  Welcome :D

Thanks for the welcome everyone!  We're in Stroudsburg.  S. Tonin, it would be great to get to know anyone in the area once things relax with the Stay-at-home order.

Welcome! I am down in South America (Brazil) but my mother lives in Easton, and I tend to get up there pretty regularly (decided to skip the trip this year, considering the circumstances).
Happy spring planting to you!
