Hi Judith, no, she doesn't grow a lot of them, but she did a deep dive into growing as many varieties she could. She didn't water them at all and it has been a hot dry summer. When rain finally came they bounced back.

My friend Marcela from Croatia had these

Does doing the dishes count?
Otherwise I'd have to say twice a year I find time.

Did you take the security brake off. That thing on top you push close with your wrist?
I've seen people go ape-shit trying to start it and then it was just that simple security.

Awesome diverse grex Greg Mosser! You'll probably have some seed to share or do you like direct seed? Do you have brown fleshed ones as well?

What a clever idea Julie! Having people send their own seeds in avoids people just wanting free seeds. On GTS Europe there were quite some that just seem to want to get on the list for the Serendipity Seed Swap Europe or seed train. Whatever we've thrown at it, like could you tell us who you are and make an introduction post, some people seem to just want to do the minimal and not get engaged at all. Which is quite depressing when you do all to make seed great again. This is a great workaround. thank you!
We've started the Starter Kits and a Telegram channel about Adaptation Gardening where we speak low barrier of all things adaptation gardening and permaculture etc and show pictures of treasures etc. The Starter Kits you probably heard me bang on about, but for others reading are the seeds we have in true abundance that can be distributed without risk of losing something, like all cucurbitacea, but also parsnip and parsley to name a few.
We'll have a meeting in Croatia soon and speak of the future of the seed exchances, i'll definitely mention this initiative and see how people react.

Hi Eric, nice mulch mat! A shame of those beautiful grasses growing there. I guess you want to control it that it stays as it was? I wouldn't know if that is doable easily. We have something a bit similar to you which has a taproot and will pop back the next year. Check out if it has a deep root. Then you'll need to take them all out and remove the mulch. Hoping there's no seeds in there of it. And hot compost it.
Or do the 'lazy' way and plonk a lot of more grasses on top, hope it surpresses the evil colonizer enough and grow something that really covers it over summer. Like pumpkins or potatoes for a year.
Maybe another giant mushroombed will keep it down?
Or sowing a winterrye into it, which will shade it out over summer.
Just some ideas for this. Good luck!

Those saltlakespring seeds look very interesting to start a landrace covering a whole plot of land. I'd love to do this to gain land of grass to grow crops on it.
I dream of a covercrop of winter rye. plunk it down after harvesting a replacing quantity of seeds. Growing dry land pumpkins that need not a lot of soil nutrients that will cover the plot over summer by the foliage and then enter winter-seeds like the legumes you describe, fixing nitrogen and covering a decomposing mass of grass killing mulch.
It would make my gardening so much easier if there was less grass creeping in constantly.
I have the rye, and the pumpkins seeds, but so far seem out of luck with my neighbor farmer having flat tires constantly. They inner tubes he buys are chinese rubbish which seems to be all the market provides.

My farmer partner always has a lot of haybails he leaves around his fields too long. Then the cows don't like them anymore. So free mulch. It's quite the job, but i mulch all the pathways between the beds. And newly to colonize parts to add to the permaculture project i dump a lot of mulch to kill the grasses over winter and remulch in spring and then dump manure on it. Grow pumpkins. Or just put potatos in it.

This year the first grasshoppers appeared, and while I don’t like they ate my parsley, it makes me proud that the land has healed enough for them to return. It’s also good exercise chasing them, so I can give them to my chickens.  

That's a good thing i heard, you're moving up in this things called brix if grasshoppers show up!
