In These Times Of Change

These are challenging times for everyone. Chaos on every level seems to be the norm right now. Prices are up. Certainty is down.

What is one to do?

While none of us can control the world around us, nor directly the weather, there is a lot that we can all do to stabilize our own lives and be a part of the solution instead of a part of the problem.

Learn to grow food and herbs. Even if it is just a small container. Learn a few plants near you to forage. Keep a resiliency pantry.

The tools that you need to get started are at Delectable Tiny Gardens and Manitu Okahas Programs

I grew up on a small Midwestern U.S. farm. I played many roles in my life from student to teacher, farmer, mother, and artist. Through every phase and all of the ups and downs, some things have always been true. I have never been able to color within...

In a world that seems to be getting more chaotic every day, it is time to take charge of your food resiliency. But the path can be confusing when we are steeped in a system designed to keep you trapped. My mission is to empower you to create systems of resiliency in your life that you put together one at a time. These systems are easy to build and you create them one at a time in a way that is easy for you. I have been living abundantly within the natural cycles of life of this beautiful Earth for over 40 years. No matter what is going on in the larger world, it is possible to live abundantly and to build resiliency, because I have done so in good times and bad. I would love to guide you on your path towards the peace and mind that sustainable resiliency gives.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

The Plant Profile

While I am not an expert on every plant that I will profile, I am trying to provide a complete profile for each plant. For the plants that I know, I will supplement the research information with my experience as a mid-western US gardener and as someone who has gardened in pots in an RV. For those plants that I don’t personally know, this is information that I need as well. My primary focus for 2025 is on useful plants that can be raised in almost any circumstances, from an RV or apartment to a small yard garden, to a permaculture garden.

Each profile includes as much information that I can find and is organized in a reference template that will be the same for each plant.

This is what you can expect to find in each PDF profile:

Identification

Plant growth and the conditions that the plant prefers

How the plant matures and develops

How to use the plant

The medicine and magic of the plant.

And when I know, suitable varieties for small spaces.

Any nutritional, medicinal, and magical properties that I include are intended for your informational purposes only. Always check with a reputable medical provider or herbalist before using an herb medicinally.

The version of the profile that I include in the PDF files here are a manuscript version. I welcome and encourage your input as I edit them for final publication.

Worm Composting

I just checked my worm compost bin yesterday. They are happy little worms.

I have lots of baby worms happily turning the household kitchen scraps into beautiful fertility for my container gardens.
