Biography
Been farming outside of Houston for 17 yrs. I have experimented with square foot gardening, hay/straw bale gardening, aquaponics, hydroponics and more. We just bought a home NE of Houston so will be starting our farm all over from scratch. I will be getting more chickens, studying herbal medicine and learning as much as I can about being self-sufficient and using permaculture methods to farm smarter not harder.

please add Helen's Power Point Presentations with the Master Gardener DVD.  I attended online, but would love to have a copy.  Some slides were hard to read on screen.

I have a huge pressure canner (like the one in the picture) but I'm scared of the darned thing!  So I dehydrate.  I freeze dry.  But every time I walk by that canner, it taunts me. It's an unrealized goal.  A fear that has not been conquered.  And ones in the know, don't have time to teach me.  I hope with more study of this forum and this book, I can succeed.

Hi John.  We are just NE of Houston, TX.  Just bought a home on 2 acres so will be starting our farm over.  The soil is different from west rural houston where we currently live.  Lot's of mudbugs everywhere!
We will be learning permaculture methods to design a new kind of farm.
Just wanted to say Hi from a local.
