Seeing Nature
When I first started teaching gardening I stumbled across Paul Krafel’s Seeing Nature, and it was a revelation to me. Through a series of personal nature parables he shifts our perception in order to reveal the subtle flows, cycles, patterns and personalities that inhabit the living world around us. Sand fleas, a deer carcass, vulture flight, tundra flora and water erosion (among other things) all have something to teach us, if only we are willing to look deeply and listen.

Web Roundup // August 2, 2009
In between working on the orchard/chicken-run fence and praying for quail eggs, I’ve come across quite a few notable items on the web. Here are some of my favorites. Enjoy!
Haute Coturnix
We recently added Coturnix (aka Japanese) Quail to our backyard flock of chickens and ducks, and I’m looking forward to some little spotted eggs as soon as they get settled from the move. They aren’t too fond of us just yet, but quail are relatively easy to take care of and very efficient egg (and meat) producers.
