Comment by Aaron Armstrong on September 5, 2008 at 12:33pm: Wow, very jealous of the daikon seeds, lovely plant.

Comment by Michael Levin on September 2, 2008 at 9:59am: I am about to go to my garden. It's time to weed. The daikon seeds Sh'mal encouraged me to save will be used for Fall planting. I'm going to try and sprout them using a damp piece of paper.

Comment by Michael Levin on June 25, 2008 at 6:54pm: I'm happy because Ron said I could have some heirloom broccoli seed from his patch. Tiny little things! He said to store them in the refrigerator until time to plant, probably next winter. We talked about heirloom seed advantages like sustainable renewable gardens that heirloom seeds make possible. In other words, you can plant heirloom seeds, grow the plants and then let them go to seed and replant using the same seeds. Nice!

The Lama Foundation: About Lama

Lama Foundation is: a "community", a not-for profit organization, and a "spiritual home" to many. Our Mission is to be both a sustainable spiritual community as well as an educational center dedicated to all spiritual paths. Situated about 20 miles north of Taos New Mecixo, on just under 110 acres at 8600 feet, Lama Foundation is almost completely surrounded by Carson National Forrest, giving one the feeling of being "way out there", or away from civilization. There are vistas, sunsets, pristine mountain-spring water, vegetarian cooking, and a wide variety of animals that share the mountain with the community. See Sh'mal's recent blog post "More on the Ganja Boogie Band" for a reference to this intentional community
