changes

well here we are still using the burlington library's computers, very graciously, picking seeds, including CSA crops such as more tomatoes, maybe potatoes, some onions, we already had lots of greens, what else, we might forget something, so this is YOUR chance to remind suggest. And now it is truly possible as i have opened up the comments section. unless you are a computer, which im sad about now, why shouldnt you too get a chance, chances are by the time the vegetables are grown you will be able to eat them. This CSA is serving the Burlington Vermont area I hsould say, and if you know anyone or are anyone who is interested, you just call josh and rachel at 631 457 9003, -

as i said our next step is to order the seed and construct cold frames for which we got (free, from rachels careful perusal of the classifieds) some windows which will hopefully make wonderful, probably more than averagely heat efficient tops, in which we will grow some early greens and hopefully get some starts going - i know echinacia likes it in there, but there are a lot of things that do and well see how much room, also got some free wood from our very nice sublessor I think you'd call her. (rachel doesn't know even tho shes feet away) you know first computer, eat your vegetables

today ive got to call some intervale other farms and see what THEY think of this idea of our pretty radical shift in business plan, to a CSA of thirty or so, they suggested it is what we have heard thus far, but I at least feel the need to feel out the group politics as much as possible, hence the aformentioned calls.

where have all the pink clouds gone

long time passing, right? right dudes? - anywho, were in the midst of this turning open heart farm (rachel and I were the only votes i saw) into its thing on intervale, which will be a two acre thing, - all this while finding a job that works, with re the farm and such, 30 hours would be fine but the question might be which , five days from sun up to down doesnt sound so hot tho it might leave open weekends for market, - which the printer job (these all i should mention go on the spec that i would get one of them) may not cause its thirty six hours in three block shifts, but id probably be able to make a bitchin (excuse) poster,: i should mention that they lindsey and spencer of intervale didnt get the coolness of our heart diagram, id paste it up here if i was using my own computer but im still not, does anyone in the bloggosphere want to donate a labtop and or printer, . . . real test of the bloggosphere there, someplace i can directly beg cause . . . well the chance for you to do a mitzvah, - it seems all to be about the void, at least that's what people ask me about, myself, i don't care. i don't think it would come up much, even if reading blanchot, boy could i tell you a story about all the stuff we are going to plant, its going to require a lot of remay to keep the flea beetles off but i also am going to plant some catnip around, ive been wating for this chance. that's supposed to help and be good for teas, which part of the business i talk alot about if not am drawn to. lots of brassica-y greens, asian, then some tomatos and eggplant and now cullinary herbs as per request of purple shutters, gotta figure out what my list means "B.R.P."??!?!?

the fire this time

the fire this time is we went to intervale its a bit of a frenzy a necktie murder and we got to go do our stuff: which is going to the asian markets and restaurants start looking into what we can count on from them and probably later think about market farmers and . . . no i havent been reading much lately but; this thing is going the way rachel predicted: we are not using pink clouds i think that official life itself the pink cloud and lets just say w are the open heart / double happiness within. or without, without is cool too. im going to spend the rest of time printing to paper a poem, interesting idea isnt it i forgot my camera again and have to get a haircut to look presentable to temp agency and aforementioned markets,

so in seven minutes

let me tell you we are here in burlington, have pretty much settled on open heart something, either farm or operations (which would be really eery right) or something else i forgot. anyways burlington seems pretty cool and our apartment is great, i admittedly have some backlash re the crystal set, and i don't mean meth but the whole quartz or whatever it is that is healing - it's not fair right, to be against the healing, let me sum it up with this book found in sublet: creating abundance subtitle loving money, it wasn't loving money tho, something a bit nicer sounding, well my time is up, i have only the library connection at this point, and lots to do like find out how to renew my passport so i can check out montreal, and here ive done not much on the blog re the whole farms progress but this takes jobs and lifes and books and whatevers alot,

we got hot sauce


we recieved three bottles of hot sauce this holidays (it's our birthdays too) - ranging from the super hot to the mild but what's pretty cool about them beside there seeming variety is the arts that go on them, - we were at a zydeco thing for new years and that explains some of it but my brother-in-law i guess you'd call him, relationaly, Tommy by name, gave us another two bottles from what are aparently cases of microbrew hot sauces in his closet. Anyways also looking up asian markets in Burlington and there seem to be one or two plus one or two more solid Co-op type operations besides another one or two "pacific" restaurants, which I'm informed, also by Tommy (who does some cheffing) is what you call high-class asian restaurants these days: so, we've kinda got at least something to start with, rachel and I. If we were to get two or three solid accounts with this collection that would be great, especially if we did well at one farmers market.

re our name: there are some updates, some pretty serious contenders: Maydar, Maydal, and Open Heart. I was impressed when open heart got the thumbs up from rachel's mom. it's your turn to vote, did i mention that.
