Alright, with the first wave of deluxe PASSIVE edition activity over with, getting back to the big project. Intrinsic is the most honed, powerful system for biological resource creation I know of, as it’s my system I have learned the hard way in creating client’s, and my own systems. It’s like a computer program, but for biology. At least, that’s how I like to run it. It has seven subroutines that function under one central program: increasing intrinsic, innate, natural life in any given system. I’m quite proud of the practical side: It details how the main resource any biological system needs to increase intrinsic life so much soil, but air. Really. I’m so excited for this long time program creation to go viral, and will update more as we near the system onset.
A deluxe edition of my first book PASSIVE Gardening is now available on Mortal Tree. Added more pictures, and made several additions such as this #infographic to make a bold statement for what #gardens really need to be low work, and productive - or passive as I call it - like passive solar. This special edition is only available as ebook, which I will be manually licensing. To celebrate the release, it and Mastering the Growing Edge, my second book, are deeply discounted through Wednesday this week. I look forward to sending you a copy!
Like lightning before the discovery of electricity, Permaculture designers are very much an untapped resource. To access this resource, we not only need to learn what we are missing out on, but also need the right platform -like the wires, power grids, and batteries of today’s electric grid. That platform is #Edgin. Link in my bio if you’re curious. #permaculture #design#infographic#education #kickstarter

Thoroughly enjoyed this. This spring I developed a passion for scorzonera leaves and used them a lot in salad, as well as linden leaves, sorrel, Welsh and walking onions, and the usual annual culprits. As the weather gets hot, though, I realize that I have far too many perennial onions and big patches of them need to go. I planted more scorzonera, and need more perpetual sorrel, since the regular kind can’t be stopped from going to seed when the temp goes up.
I’m thinking of importing some of the salad mints from Richters, and I love orange balsam thyme leaves sprinkled over salads, and sometimes lemon thyme, especially if the dressing includes lemon juice.
I wish that there were a perennial with leaves as tender and sweet as spring lettuce. Any suggestions?

Too many perennial onions?! What a wonderful conundrum. I think the only thing that might be lacking in such an Eden is Mache. I wonder how it would fare in your dry winters, but I consider it the best lettuce replacement. It isn’t perennial of course, but comes up so dependably it could easily be called a perennial. It is quite tender -even the stems as it begins to bloom. Have you grown it before?

I giggled at your remark about Eden. Just last week a distant neighbor stopped by as I was working in the front yard to comment “your garden is really springing up all over the place.” I agreed with pleasure that it was, and she said disapprovingly “so you had better start trimming things back.” It’s a disadvantage of suburban gardening.
About mache, I realize that I have only tried to grow it once and not successfully, because our very dry winter winds desiccated it. Now that I use agricultural cloth covers during the winter, I would probably have much better luck with it, so I will try again. Thanks for the suggestion, as always.

That’s very funny. It’s strange how some people have some sort of fear of overgrown plants -as though the plants will eat them. Actually intend to post about that in the near future. perhaps the overgrown plants will provide enough protection you won’t need agricultural cloth in the future -at least for mache. I’m quite sure you’ll love it.
