"Partial to heavy shade is a good place for salad greens. Have a look at some of the red and speckled lettuces. They're quite lovely as border plants. I love Bright Lights too and you can now buy the individual colours from West Coast…"

Aha! Hope all goes well.

Let me know if there's anything we can do to help - feeling in village and Initiative expanding mode nowadays - Sunset, West End, Strathcona, etc.

Three of us attended the NW Transition Convergence in Seattle a couple weeks ago. About 60-70 Transitionistas from all over. Either VV or Portland will host next year.

Is Karen doing the workshops?

Hi Arzeena,

What's happening with Transition Richmond?

Is there a website we can provide a link to?

And/or would you like to set up a page on VV site?

Cheers,
Ross

Hi, I got some lovely lettuce and chard seeds in exchange for some oregano, marjoram and (not edible) vinca major--variegated.

I've put out some other plants in front of 2605 West Fifth - grape hyacinths; marjoram; oregano; lemon balm; vinca major (periwinkle - but large and variegated).

I also have some other things - including a small hydrangea bush, lambs ears; creeping jenny; sedum (large and small, but pretty ordinary). If you need some extra plants, send me a note and we can arrange something.

Most are sun loving as we face south.

PS - I'd love some french sorrel.
(I'm still trying to figure out how to use the ning - so I think I missed your previous note.)

What beautiful kids, and that sign could not be more apropos in this group! Chasing those three around, I cannot imagine how you have time for everything else you do. You are everywhere.

Forum

Food

Local, organic, rural, and/or urban, food production is a mainstay of life, and doing it well leads to wellness. From farm to kitchen, discussions relating to food--and the community arising around it--belong here.

65 discussions

Transportation

If you have to leave your village, how will you get where you want to go? By car? Preferably not, both for your wallet and the earth’s sake. This category is for all discussions relating to how we all get around.

5 discussions

Housing

A human right? After food, most feel shelter is the most important necessity. A place of shelter is also the start of a community. This category is for all things relating to shelter, housing, affordable housing, homes, renewable heating systems, green buildings, heritage, and our built environment in general.
