We have ten boots here now.  Here are three of them learning about rock jacks and putting up a sign on complexity trail.

potato harvest is in full swing!

A lot of work on the rock jacks and junk pole fence here at basecamp.  

The key is that these are perfect rock jacks.  The best I have ever seen!

these are the biggest sunchokes i have ever seen.  Plucked from a hugelkultur here where we are working to build the soil.

Jules holding two ....   yes, this is just two sunchokes.  One sunchoke filled two huge skillets of fry-up.  

And then one sunchoke on a huge cutting board.  Hands for scale.

I'm speechless about those sunchokes!!!.....Never have seen anything in mine that come even close to that size!

I think this is the result of all of our efforts to make a richer soil.
