I love that slide guitar. It's like putting soft butter on toast… you know, creamy

That title is garden math. Well we had a small snow fall and freeze last night. Everything we have in the garden is hardy to this, but we were expecting the continuation of a warming spring. Good thing we aren’t weatherologists. I was just out in the garden a little while ago and saw lettuce and radishes beginning to surface. Ah, fresh greens and the spice of the radish. This one’s for Drew. Grow that Basil buddy.

“…Round and round, the cut of the plow in the furrowed field, seasons round, the bushels of corn and the barley meal, broken ground, open and beckoning to the spring, black dirt live again! The plowman is broad as the back of the land he is sowing, As he dances the circular track of the plow ever knowing that the work of his day measures more than the planting and growing… let it grow, let it grow, greatly yield.” - Eric Clapton

I just wanted to share a really cool website and podcast with everyone. The Beyond Organic radio show is about addressing issues of organic food and farming, social and environmental sustainability. The show offers insight on genetic engineering (GMO), health, fair trade, gardening, and the like. They have many important guests that share valuable thoughts and solutions to our environmental issues.

You can subscribe to the Beyond Organic podcast here, or visit the Beyond Organic website.

I just got done with a Wordpress Template for Freeskier Drew Tabke. He is currently, as of March 2008, in 4th on the Freeride World Tour. He rides for Praxis Skis, tours around the worlds best mountains from Russia to Verbier and throws down! Now we can try and keep up with Drew’s 2008 winter online.

Watch the video of him in the Freeride World Tour in Verbier!

It’s the latter end of March and I have been looking at the small Iris’ and bulbs starting to show all over the yard. The deer have been staying out mostly, we’re thankful for that. Last year the deer really ate up all the small tulip starts, which is to be expected. This year, my wife strung up a higher fence around the front yard to keep them at bay, and it’s worked!

We are also doing an experiment this year in the garden. The chickens were in half of it all winter long. They managed to get every bit of grass and weed that showed up, as well as fertilized in their wake. The other half of the garden, we have been pulling all the grass out by hand. Our experiment is to see if the chickens do a better job at weeding than we do. We’ll see in about 2 months when things begin to really grow.

A good friend of ours likes how chicken’s scratch around, so I took a small clip of Snowball, the chicken, scratching in the garden.

14.5 hours there, 14.5 hours back. That’s all it takes. It’s about 2 good audio books or 5 live Grateful Dead shows, both sets. We had other music though. Oh, don’t ever bother to listen to The Broker on audio CD, it’s terrible.

We followed the USFreeskiing tour out to watch and support our buddy Kevin O’Meara. Too much fog or cloud layer on the hill for the first couple days of the comp, so we didn’t get to see him run. Kevin ended up in 10th overall.

The first day we skied it was about 6″ of dust on crust. Coming from the Sierra’s, the snow is LIGHT. The following day, the “heavy” day we had, with 18″ of fresh reported, was amazing. Even thought I’ll take an 18″ Sierra powder day, any day, over the light snow in Jackson it was super fun to get face+ shots. The terrain in the image to the left is below Sublet chair. Sick terrain!, but alas, it was closed. You do hit rocks there. Just gotta be light on the skis you know!

Below is a video that we shot on the way out with my digital camera. Each clip is 30 seconds, then it’s all sped up 1000% and put to Immaculate Machine’s Jarhand. The song is funny with the little, didoodidoo diiidooodidooo keyboard part.

This is good to hear amid big box stores, consumerism and social acceptance.

I came across this website today: The Story of Stuff. I like the video and the message, so I thought I’d share it here. To me it drives home how important it is to have a garden and animals in order to be more self sufficient and less dependent.
