    I heard that, Brian. Hi back at’cha! :>)

    I usually listen on Monday evening but was so excited to hear from Bill and Lauren that I listened during my commute this morning. Another great episode, and so very timely as I spent the weekend with notebook, podcast #17 and the Gaia’s Garden book, laying out my long-term permaculture plan for the homestead. The conversion will be done in little tiny bites as time and resources allow but out 70 degree days were soooo inspiring. And half the work is in developing the plan, eh?

    The raised beds are sporting spring veggie seedlings, blossoming strawberry plants and the remnants of the winter garden kale, rainbow chard, and one last kohlrabi (now enormous and gone to seed but so fun to look at). For supper we had salad of fresh lettuces and carrots from the garden and the cabbage that went in with our corned beef was homegrown too!

    Most of what I am reaping is All Your Fault, Susy. You inspired me several years ago and I’m so appreciative.

    Because of Cultivate Simple, I’m actually looking forward to Monday mornings. :)

    Another great episode. Lots to think about, here in my suburban city neighborhood.

    Ditto Melanie “From CaliFORnia” ;) Suzy & Brian, your efforts are presented honestly and in simple terms– I began my journey a few years back and have relied on your research and writing (and now podcast) daily.
    My husband is in lands planning and design and is very anti-grass :D We have a small city dweller footprint, but as my Mom says, we make it sound like we are growing acres of food.
    Bill & Lauren were easy to understand and I learned so much more about having a vision and implementing changes.
    Thank you– someday I hope to put financial support with my comments :) Fingers crossed!–Penny

    What an awesome podcast! Thanks for asking our questions from the FB site. Love Bill and Lauren! We can’t wait to purchase our Colorado homestead and Bill and Lauren gave me a few things to keep in mind and to look for. As always, I can’t wait for your next podcast!
