TweetPeter and His Kiddo Living the Dream On Farm! Peter brings his ecological background to his farming practice. He spent a decade at UW-Madison, teaching courses in ecology and complex systems theory, and researching the history and functioning of midwestern ecosystems. He realized the critical role that animals play in the creation and maintenance of functional ecosystems. He also realized that in order to achieve broad-scale ecological restoration, it must be an economical viable pursuit. He therefore became determined to work with livestock toward ecological regeneration, and Mastodon Valley Farm was born. Now he spends his days observing and interacting with an increasing diversity of plants and animals working in concert towards the abundant production of food, medicine, fiber, lumber, and energy. He continues to teach through our on-farm courses and consults with other landowners interested in implementing regenerative techniques on their own sites.

Tweet So today I stopped by the TSP Zello channel to say hello and ask for topic suggestions.  There were some great ones but most required me to spend a few days to put together, this one though I can get ready for in about an hour, so it is our topic of the day. I also like this topic because this is a common problem I hear about from many people.  I want to grow food, I really think my front yard is best but I live in an HOA and the blue hairs will get me, etc.  Additionally growing food in a front yard even without an HOA may be something people want to keep a bit unadvertised for a variety of reasons. Also while I will discuss some specific plants to grow today I will spend a lot of time on technique.  In general what people (okay idiots) object with front yard gardens isn’t the specific plants, because they don’t know know a beet plant from a hosta in the first place, they object to the pattern, people identify patterns. In fact the entire sickness of the HOA mentality is an obsession with uniformity of pattern.  A McMansion is supposed to look a certain way, cars should be in garages, grass should be mowed and edged, etc.  Drive up and down any HOA style neighborhood and you will see a modern Mr. Rodgers Neighborhood, 5 or six houses repeted over and over with some variances of color.  Mail boxes lined up a certain way, etc.  This sickness once understood becomes our weapon of choice. Join Me Today To Discuss…. Understanding HPOS (HOA Pattern Obsession Syndrome) Know the rules, percentage of grass, number of trees, height restrictions, etc. Switch to an organic program for lawn maintenance -see links for this below Measure your working area and deign in islands and edges within the rules Install irrigation to all locations, drip is best if you can do so Do use things like landscape fabric and mulches, (natural) Look at what your neighbors do, mimic the patterns Plant non edibles with your edibles Use dwarf or semi dwarf trees, shrubs and bushes Definitely grow annuals though out the season with succession planting Give away some easy to grow “pretty plants” like Rainbow Chard Build retaining walls for deeper fills of soil Utilize edges, as this is expected by people with HPOS Utilize large containers Some Great Annuals to Grow in this System Herbs especially purple basil Rainbow Chard Red Beets – for the tops Sweet Potato – as a ground cover Calendula Nasturtium Ornamental Hot Peppers Various lettuces Scarlet Runner Beans Kale Perennials Dwarf Pomegranite Dwarf Peach Blueberries Feijoa Figs Chives Day Lilies Roses Nanking or Hanson’s Cherry Dwarf Mulberry – keep it pruned below bird usage Remember in the end, the key is stay in the rules and stay in the pattern Oh, get the hell out of that HOA ASAP Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1942 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop Amazon Organic Lawn Care by Howard Garrett the Dirt Doctor Organic Lawn Care by Paul Wheaton White Christmas – Bing Crosby Sponsors of the Day Bulk Ammo JM Bullion The Wealthsteading Podcast Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetSome See “Trash Fish” but I See Dinner A friend and I have been talking about fishing a lot lately, it is still cold, the winds are stupid this time of year, but man I have the bug.  It is likely that I will be investing in a boat in March, and will be hitting some of the bigger lakes in the are. I really do love simply bank fishing and shore fishing though.  Something about the simplicity, park the car or truck, a short walk with your gear and a cooler with a few beers and hopefully some stuff worth frying up by day’s end.   With surf fishing it is a long drive but the experience is even better, standing up to your waste while schools of fish and the occasional shark swim by, (no I am not kidding) with the anticipation of never knowing what you might catch next. Fishing has become a massive industry even at the “recreational level”, I know people with 55,000 dollar “bass boats” filled up with 15,000 dollars worth of gear.  (once again not kidding) These people fish constantly and never keep a fish, yet refer to fish like Sand Bass and Bullheads as “trash fish”. I don’t know, perhaps it was growing up without a lot but a love for the outdoors that keeps me grounded.  I have been off shore for Marlin, in the Florida bays catching Snook longer than my leg, on Gatun Lake in Panama after massive Peacock bass and deep into the mountains for brook trout that had never likely seen a hook in their lives.  There is more, I have quite literally at times been an “adventurer fisherman”. Yet I still enjoy bouncing slabs for sand bass or just sitting at a small stock pond catching small bullhead catfish or fishing a back water creek for various perch/brim/sunfish.  I also enjoy standing in the surf and catching whiting, hard heads and gaftops.  And in many ways it is these fish I most enjoy eating. They are small, tasty, fast to clean, they have a great size to yield ratio and you literally can’t harm their populations with hook and line.  Today we talk about this type of fishing and the food value it brings to your home. Join Me Today To Discuss… Basic bank and surf gear for these types of fish Finding places to fish, check right under your nose How do you actually “target a species” Habits Patterns Seasons Diet Some of my favorite species to target Fresh Water Bullhead Cats Channel Cats Fresh Water Drum White Bass Bluegill/Sunfish/Perch/Brim/etc Bowfin – I don’t eat these but fun to catch Salt Water Gaftop and Hardhead Catfish Whiting Sand Trout Jack Crevalle Small Sharks (Blacktips) Croaker Bluefish Some ways to prepare some of these fish Pan Fried “shucked catfish” Grilled Channel Cat Steaks White Bass on the Half Shell Yellow Bass Chowder – you can use any fish Whiting Cerviche – you can do this with any salt water fish Grilled Shark or Jack Fish Nothing will kill you (cooked) so try everything Resources for today’s show… Join the Members Brigade The Year 1937 Join Our Forum Walking To Freedom TSP Gear PermaEthos.com TspAz.com – Support TSP When You Shop Amazon The Granddaddy’s Gun Club TSP Episode on the Basics of Fishing Gear Shucking a Bullhead Video One Shucking a Bullhead Video Two Automatic Fish Scaler – Towed by a Boat I’m Gonna Miss Her – Brad Pasley Sponsors of the Day TSP Business Directory JM Bullion Benjamin Ellefson Remember to comment, chime in and tell us your thoughts, this podcast is one man’s opinion, not a lecture or sermon.

TweetGrow Light Tech Has Advanced a Lot Since I Started TSP! Spring is coming!  Well technically it was spring here in Texas 4 days ago, now it is winter again and it will be spring her on Thursday and Summer for a day on next Tuesday before returning to winter on the following day. For most of the nation is it actually winter and it may seem spring is a long way off, but it isn’t.  March 21st is the official first day of spring, that is only 63 days.  For much of the country your last frost date is close to that time, perhaps only a few more weeks out. Many seeds should be started in a protected environment about 6-8 weeks before setting out, translation, it is time to get those seeds ordered and started very soon.
