I've had really good success with the paris market carrots!    I buy paris market seeds in a big box garden store but the rare seeds might be better.
They will be on my list for year round succession planting from now on, especially as the new guard puppy likes carrots, and my hens can have the greens.  This all makes market carrots dependable, available to all of us for year around fresh food which has become my new standard for what's going to be Basic Table Fare.

Update:
So far my spot seems ok.  One neighbor gathered branches last week for a cold snap, and sent me photos that was nice.

It seems one neighbor is marine trained with a gun, so that's a good thing.  Neighborhood watch seems to be stepping up and FB group shares news, gunfire, fire watch alerts, unknown people in the area, wildlife sightings - cougar recently😁

What materials are used to construct the baffles???

 Free boondock, private land small holding, no particular expectations of work or projects.  The term most in my mind is "Just Be"
  This site has vulnerable beetle kill conifers and I'm not able to just go there very fast so thinking about having someone there onsite.
 

Has anyone posted an update on this scenario?  I've found one other person headed to Oaxaca and it all sounds fascinating.
  I'd be interested to know how it's going.

I've been testing woodstove heat tendencies, window drafts etc for years with incense sticks.

 The session with Paul Wheaton was the most interesting one of the whole day.
  People were definitely noticing the flash cards. Pound for pound  permies.com stood tall amongst international leadership.  Long years of work gave permies a certain credibility amongst the others in my opinion.   My personal favorite flash card was the stewardship of woodlands.

I'm growing indoors at high altitude, south window + solar grow lights. This winter 2025/26 features a TOTE chaos with old horse fym, grass cuttings, ASPEN LEAVES 2 yrs old .  It's set near woodstove.
 Last yr and prior year Aspen Leaves are outside commingling with more old fym, coop poop, Coors beer barley fields straw, and will go with me to New Mexico, my spot there is sandy, with pine duff so I will have to travel for deciduous leaves.
  The chaos tote is succeeding well I'm counting on it for staples going into long term living Colorado Plateau in New Mexico
This winter is pared down to best chances and succeeding with
*3 sisters
*Wheat grass successions
*Sunflower sprouts successions
*Cabbage leaves

I added a pot with burpee coir for wheatgrass thankfully obtained hard red winter wheat berries last week.  Sprouting in 4 days the south window is a big factor.  The Aspen leaves are doing a great job for us.

The wheat grass and sunflower sprouts have been a huge benefit for hens and my stirfry.  I was surprised at the beneficials of sunflower sprouts!

I saw a video on this concept just yesterday.  The grower had spindly but viable plants, he amended leaves with some fertilizer.  The crop result was maybe 5/1 with 3 different types of potatoes but your added shovels of dirt will definitely make a big difference in the quality of the crop.
