<br />
I was removing some old blog entries that I had posted to announce the purchase of property by Mil Abrazos, the new project I created a couple years ago.<br />
<br />
FeedBurner, a Google utility that emails blog updates to subscribers, has its fair share of glitches and sent an update from 2012 after I deleted the recent blog posts. It's happened before...<br />
<br />
My apologies for the tease.<br />
<br />
Some people asked if there was a garden going on somewhere, I assume they wish to volunteer.<br />
<br />
Besides school gardens, the only urban farm I know that takes volunteers is the <a href="https://www.reunityresources.com/" target="_blank">ReUnity Farm</a> on Agua Fria, formerly known as the Community Farm. <br />
<br />
Starting or restarting community gardens wouldn't be a bad idea...<br />
<br />
I now live 90 miles from Santa Fe on the lower Pecos watershed between Las Vegas and Santa Rosa.<br />
<br />
Mil Abrazos is a community land trust, located on 32 acres of irrigated land. Our focus is on regenerative agriculture, affordable housing and Permaculture education.<br />
<br />

<br />
I hope this note finds you all safe and well.<br />
<br />
Poki<br />

planning, dreaming, planting and celebration day! If you or anyone you know would
like to participate in a communal garden setting, where
learning-by-practice and harvest-by-helping is the model, then join us! Please bring you kids (no dogs) and some morning pastries or snacks to share. We'll have tea and coffee. There will be time for conversation, a tour, planting and merrymaking.<br />
<br />
Dear Dandelion Ranch Subscribers!<br />
Welcome to the first 2013 blog entry.<br />
<br />
From the bottom of our hearts, we thank each of you who have supported the Dandelion Ranch along its fledgling path.... now eager to express its third summer season! <br />
<br />
We are happy to inform you that the garden has robustly held forth this winter season and we have 2-3 beds laden with greens which we are harvesting and eager to transplant. Juaquin, with the assistance of Michael, Nicholas, Jaden, Amelie and others planted starts in flats in September, which then went tightly into beds as preadolescences.....tucked in under remay and plastic hoop-houses for the bitter cold and insulating snows. Michael and Germaine found windows of warm weather to peel back the protection and give the plants much appreciated water. Now the garden has been opened up each morning and then covered before sundown as the temp. range may fluctuate some 20 + degrees!<br />
<br />
The chickens are laying beautiful organic eggs and the turkeys are sitting on clusters of their own eggs!<br />
<br />
Rachel, Giselle, Dan and Travis, with Nicholas' help have continued our wonderful, ongoing relationship w/ BODY, processing their glorious organic food scraps into delicious chicken food and soil-building material for our four compost bins!<br />
<br />
There are flats and beds to be seeded and a new garden to be born. There are beautiful fruit trees which were rescued from doom, to be planted around the garden, and...... well come and see for yourself. Come along for the ride..... : )<br />
<br />
For more info, please contact,<br />
Michael at 505 470 9245<br />
or Giselle/Dan at 505 989 4424 <br />
<br />
Peace, Love and Prosperity to all!<br />

Public
Artist and local phenom, Don Kennell offered this beautiful
mixed-medium bird sculpture to visit the garden. He recently hung a show
at the Eggman and Walrus Gallery here in Santa Fe where many birds were
presented. He won two first place ribbons at last year's Recycled Art
show at El Museo. One piece took the judge's prize and his other piece
won the people's choice award. He has two fish sculptures installed on
the Santa Fe River along East Alameda and his corrugated metal 'Yard
Dog'-swing stands nobly in the Rail yard Park across Cerrillos from
Whole Foods. He can be reached for private showings and commissions at

After locating the property on Google maps, Pablo rendered a beautiful
layout of the Dandelion Ranch, and all the other properties on the tour.
While researching our neighborhood through historical maps, Pablo
noticed that the drainage running East to West along the Southern border
of the property has long been named the San Antonio Arroyo which was
very pleasing to learn and apply. This large work of art was given to us
and it will always be an admired, historical piece around here. Thanks
Pablo!<u> </u></div>

Another
feature in 'Shedville' is the outdoor kitchen. Framed by our friend
Brian DeBenedetti and ably and passionately finished by DLR resident,
Travis Stroope.... all with found and reclaimed lumber collected over
the last year. Fed by a hose-to-plumbing connection the cold water flows
into a four inch perforated pipe running downhill, underground to the
'Buffalo Current' bush in the garden. Hot water will come from a
gravity-fed 100' black irrigation hose in a solar box staged on the roof
of 'Shedville'!</div>

We
would love to get your feedback about this blog and your experience
here at the ranch. We encourage you to post your comments on this blog.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can also reach us by phone by calling 505-989-4424 or on <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/331351296922477/" target="_blank">Facebook</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We'll soon be setting up a virtual calendar and bulletin board so that</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can share info easily with one another.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>We
do have 501c3, not-for-profit status and we sincerely ask you to
consider making a financial or in kind donation to the Dandelion Ranch.
We are dreaming a greenhouse, larger scale water catchment, solar
thermal and pv, several bee hives, a pagoda shelter and a cordwood
sauna!</b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All in hopes of continuing the vision of developing a
sustainable and welcoming urban organic communal garden/homestead in
Santa Fe that offers safe, fun and informative models and learning
opportunities to spread the love, the joy and the fullness of living a
little closer to the land in your back yard or in your community.
Communal gardens truly illustrate the old adage, The whole is greater
than the sum of its parts. For without each other, we'd miss the
magic..... of giving, receiving, dreaming and sharing and when the going
gets tough, workin' it out for the better. Sure beats isolation!</div>

We are so very excited to share with you the fruits of the dreaming and labor put in to our little garden on Don Gaspar along the San Antonio Arroyo. There are many photos that do not follow here but will be posted after the tour. We will be presenting the Garden, the chickens and their deluxe penthouse, a nursery with thousands of plants, a turkey run along the arroyo, a yurt-temple, an amazing outdoor kitchen, seed bank and work shop, water catchment ideas, composting, and caliche-soil preparation. There will be demonstrations and displays and items for sale by Master Horticulturist Juaquin Lawrence and Herbal Shamanista Bella Cloude, Art and design pieces by Travis Stroope and Don Kennell. Also Books by local authors, Nate Downey, 'Harvest the Rain', and Zoe Wilcox and Melanie Rubin, 'The Home Farming Revolution'. You can get tickets at any garden on the tour tomorrow which will give you access to all the gardens in a self-paced fashion. Please go to this link to learn more about Homegrown New Mexico and the 2nd Annual Kitchen Garden and Coop Tour!</div>

<span style="color: black;">On June 26th, 2011, the day the Las Conchas Fire erupted in Northern New Mexico, ground was broken at this precious little neighborhood garden in Santa Fe. The Dandelion Ranch will be presented with six other gardens in Santa Fe on the 2nd Annual Homegrown and Edible KITCHEN GARDEN & COOP TOUR July 29th, 2012 9am-2pm. We'd love it if you attend. Go to this link for details, <a href="http://homegrownnewmexico.org/">homegrownnewmexico.org</a></span><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6WOffkupXviEkhTgfrzlYnqTkIiAuyyH-kRDC_wLcwqfXApffVNjd8ODOjr8sYYR4ruDwBxZ7_CQr67eMVKfUmwpB-zKyLB5cIss1yX8CmJ6nbb9xglttx-Pgjh97mXl8vP0agYE2GyAS/s640/100_0397.JPG" width="640" /></div>
The few people who began the project were passionate and joy-filled. There was deep knowledge and energy flowing and the empty, barren hillside was double-dug over the course of a few months, but that very day, the soil was amended, watered, prayed upon and planted. A new garden was born.<br />

Looking West, across the width of the garden. To the right, behind the bird is the compost operation and to the Left is the exciting and quickly materializing 'Shedville', a 45' structure containing an outdoor kitchen, tool shed and seed bank. Travis, lives on the premises with Rachel and their two children. He is an amazing artist and builder and set designer and he's completing 'Shedville' with a year's worth of beautiful old, reclaimed lumber and a few delightful accents from Dan and Giselle's home. Photos of 'Shedville' will be posted in the next blog entry.<br />

Mullein, Purslane, Wild Amaranth and Lambs Quarters grow abundantly in the garden and they are prizes in the harvest. Often removed from gardens as weeds, these delicious and nutritious volunteers hold soil together create shade canopies and put some pizazz in salads or sauteing.<br />

Ruby is one of four young people who live on the property. All kids who come to the garden, after a hearty go on the swing or romp on the trampoline, wind up drawn to the garden where the resident kids, Amelie, Coleman, Jay-hawk or Ruby can show them how to harvest the plants without injuring them, how to hold a snake or how to eat just a nibble of basil w/ mint for a special taste treat. There are three dogs, two cats, 22 chickens and a slurry of turkeys on the premises ~ and the best neighbors we could ask for in immediate surrounds.<br />

This beautiful shot shows Wild Amaranth in with the bone-meal-dusted Cabbages. The bone meal is combined with other natural ingredients to keep the bugs away. June temperatures and humidity levels were hot and dry making it tough on several of the colder weather crops. But now they're doing fine. We will be doing short demonstrations around soil development, compost, herbs and tincture- making and and how to empower the burgeoning or advanced gardener in you.<br />

The lush look is not an illusion. Here, the base of 'Shrine Hill' and all other gardens on the premises, except for "Cottage Garden' are on drip irrigation lines (different styles for different topographies and harvesting intentions). <br />

The grey row-covers are hoop houses in the winter for year round gardening. We're direct seeding now, Turnips, Beets, Kohlrabi, Carrots and Broccoli in preparation for autumn's chill. And we're planting lots of Lettuces and Kales in 'flats' for progressive planting until we tuck it all under the reemay and plastic while Father Winter holds us suspended in time. The bees were most delighted when we uncovered the beds early this Spring. The Kale, Arugula and Sorrel were early blooming to develop their phenomenal seeds.<br />

Currently, there are approximately fifteen amazing adults and many young people who frequent this neighborhood garden. Technically, Dandelion Ranch is not a community garden because community gardens contain individuals who develop individual plots in a community space. We move forward here, tending the various gardens together. It is a very satisfying adventure. Host, Dan recently realized and wrote that, "Practicing Radical Happiness can be messy. But like a spirited garden, it bears the gifts of radical health, abundance and fruitfulness. And gratitude is its harvest <i>and</i> its headwaters."<br />

There is a lot of Work/Play to be done/had here at the Ranch before the TOUR. If you'd like to come by and lend a hand, it'd be a great way to see and feel the garden and your help would be greatly appreciated. All day work party this Saturday the 21st. Dan or Giselle Piburn 505-989-4424, luminous@cybermesa.com. If you'd like to officially help and volunteer on the TOUR, there's a training in Santa Fe from 10-11 on Sat at the community room behind Whole Foods (formerly Wild Oats).

The goddesses were in the garden yesterday. Carmen transplanted <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hops" target="_blank">hops</a> in sunrise garden - a <a href="http://www.starwest-botanicals.com/content/stress_relief.html" target="_blank">nervine </a>that helps rebuilds damaged synapses and also seeded another nervine<br />
<br />
Poppies were planted in the main garden by the tulip patch.<br />
<br />
We are going to relax this summer! Laurie and Bella pulled bolted plants out of the beds and transplanted spinach and onions in their place.<br />

Here is the beautiful blessing song that laurie sang to the newly transplanted mint: <br />
"<i>May your roots grow deep, may your stems grow strong, may you reach for the sky and may you sing your special song</i>"<br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">(Thank you Brian for taking notes at the meeting!)<br /> <br /> The first part of these notes relate to all things Poki:<br /> <br /> 1) he will train both Gaia and DR folk in the art of blogging. Contact him if interested.<br /> <br />
2) he stated that DR should have a life of its own beyond the intent or
blueprint that was originally spearheaded. That means all opinions are
welcome. Start rehearsing.<br /> <br /> 3) he will still be at DR twice a
week on the regular Wed and Sat schedule (until when depends on God's
favor and Dominique's patience but the writing on the wall is that Poki
will make a physical break with DR and the yurt in the near future); he
is also available to meet at prearranged times to teach skills or to
consult, so contact him.<br /> <br /> 4) he advised us to read and
understand The Sharing Garden, a poetic tome that enforces the notion
that giving is better than receiving, a beatitude that causes
capitalistic druids to blush and bluster in their difficulty to
understand it. Read it to better answer some curious newbie who asks:
How many pounds of produce do I get per hour worked? Check it out at <a href="http://communities.ic.org/articles/1513/The_Sharing_Gardens" rel="nofollow nofollow" target="_blank"><span>http://communities.ic.org/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span><span>articles/1513/</span><wbr></wbr><span class="word_break"></span>The_Sharing_Gardens</a><br /> <br /> OTHER DISCUSSIONS...<br />
How do we communicate amongst each other? One suggestion was a Google
calendar that will list all events from and for all DR people. Meetings,
gossip, teachings, festivals, etc. That list is independent of the
blog. It will be an interactive scheduler that any participant can list
on and get info from. Another option from the Token Luddite Society
counseled that a hand written calendar with drawn daisies in the corners
might benefit those Baby Boomers amongst us if said calendar was pinned
onto the garden bulletin board. A quick souring murmur from the
TechnoCats slowed that motion.<br /> <br /> For Hell's sake, somebody invite
Joaquin back to the tribe for his razor sharp garden wit and knowledge.
We would love to have him as a consultant and teacher also.<br /> <br />
Some quick notes about the AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY drawn up and
delineated by Kirsten of all the work necessary to make the garden run
like a smooth machine. In part these tasks will replace the Perpetual
Motion Machine named Poki who attended to many of these tasks while
living on the premise. <br /> <br /> 1) are there too many tasks compared to the small numbers of DR participants? <br />
2) each person(s) who signs up for a category is thought of as a
Coordinator who does some of the work them self but also delegates
chores to others. Just as long as that task gets done!<br /> 3) this is all an experiment. Try these tasks for 1-3 months and see what works.<br /> 4) it was suggested that The Community Meeting Manager be merged with the Communications Manager. <br /> <br />
We went through each AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY and described what it would
include. Then people signed up, and the list now looks like this:<br /> <br /> Transplanting/Seeds: Carmen (?)<br /> Watering/Row covers: <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=740618557" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=740618557" style="color: black;">Dan Piburn</a><br /> Soil: <br /> Comost: Bella, Giselle, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=528551184" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=528551184">Carmen Harris</a><br /> Weeding/Harvesting: Tess, <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/user.php?id=675031639" href="http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=675031639" style="color: black;">Iwona</a>, Bella<br /> Tools/Supplies: Dan<br /> Money Management:<br /> Fundraising: <br /> Bloggers: Dan, Carmen<br /> Community Meetings/Communications:<br /> New Member Orientation: Iwona<br /> Celebrations: Elizabeth(?)<br /> <br /> Five major garden areas that need work before the Kitchen Garden Chicken Coop Tour July 29:<br /> Main garden<br /> Shrine Hill<br /> Shine Hill<br /> Herb Garden<br /> Shedville<br /> These are projects above and beyond the general Areas of Responsibility listed above.<br /> <br /> How about pre-work party meetings for half an hour or hour on Wed and Sat to talk things over?<br /> <br /> Consensus was that DR would meet every three weeks. <br /> We're aiming for MAY 7 FOR NEXT MEETING.<br /> To be discussed at the next meeting:<br /> Yurt/WWOOFER<br /> Money<br /> Time slots for task work, expanding open work hours<br /> Water source and separate irrigation source<br /> Redefine mission statement</span></span></h6>POKIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09565994373209761555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386121729301193725.post-66220528047457408932012-04-24T21:58:00.000-07:002012-04-25T06:38:46.249-07:00Just Pictures<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The Dandelion Ranch blog is managed through Blogger (part of
the Google suite).</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
My intention is to progressively hand over the Dandelion
Ranch blog to the Dandelion Ranch
community.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is a relatively simple tool, yet one blog entry can
easily take me one hour to create
between sorting and formatting photos, writing the text, researching relevant
links and making sure the pictures and text format correctly (and I manage a dozen
blogs and have used Blogger for several years)</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I will soon be offering a two-hour workshop on Blogger. A test blog will be set up for
participants to practice until they are proficient enough to be made Dandelion Ranch blog
authors.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The workshop will be offered to Dandelion Ranch and <a href="http://gaiagardens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">GaiaGardens</a> participants as it would be wonderful to have multiple blog authors for both these
projects.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The workshop will be offered on a donation basis</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
If interested, please <a href="mailto:poki@nodilus.com" target="_blank">email me</a> to let me know what days/time would work
best for you.</div>POKIhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09565994373209761555noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2386121729301193725.post-922695552690397282012-04-18T21:13:00.000-07:002012-04-18T21:17:34.502-07:00Transplanting has Begun!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

A six-week substitute is needed for compost pickups in the South Capitol neighborhood, and drop-offs to <a href="http://gaiagardens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Gaia Gardens</a>.<br />I currently do coffee pickups twice a week at the two Ohori shops and Dulce. <br />Using my pickup bed as temporary storage, I drop off at Gaia Gardens every week to two weeks. <br />I will be away for six weeks, and we need someone to cover the pickups from Sat. May 26 through Wed. July 3.<br />

I will leave notes on the bulletin board regarding what needs to be done. It would be good for people to arrive at 3:00pm and brainstorm on what to plant next and where. (Someone needs to bring carrot seeds). The Laxton Peas are ready to be transplanted along some of the fences. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: small;"><span class="messageBody" data-ft="{"type":3}">Description of all main areas to be taken over— Ideally two
people will cover each area, one as primary and one as a backup. We may
want to combine some of these areas of responsibility….<br /> •
Transplanting: building and maintenance of flats throughout the seasons,
creation and care of the potting soil throughout the seasons, awareness
of starts... watering and transplanting.<br /> • Watering and row covers:
aware of the irrigation system, frequency of watering when not under
irrigation. Aware of the row covers, when on, open, or off etc.<br /> • Soil awareness: the details of double digging new areas, preparing existing beds for planting, etc.<br />
• Compost monitor: know the percentages of what makes the piles work,
checking temperature and moisture content, be aware of the pick-up team
etc.<br /> • Weeding and harvesting : knowing when plants are ready to
harvest, how to harvest, which plants are weeds and how we weed to the
best benefit of the garden, frequency of weeding/harvesting, etc.<br /> • Construction and maintenance: of buildings, fences etc.<br /> • Tool care/supplies: keeping gardening tools and supplies orderly and cared for<br />
• Money management: be aware of the garden’s cash flow, work with the
NM Community Fund to maintain books and oversee reimbursements,
communicate with community members for agreed upon money use, etc. <br /> •
Fundraising: someone inspired to creatively manifest ways to keep the
garden afloat... develop membership contributions, interface with public
and come up with fund raising projects such as selling starts, etc.<br /> • Bloggers: some folks to take over and keep up with our beautiful blog posts<br /> • Community meeting organizer<br />
• Celebrations: Equinox and Solstice and Beltane.. time to share food,
music, story telling, etc.... socialize and raise celebratory energy in
and for the garden.<br /> • New member orientation: someone to introduce
new members to the garden... set up special times for new members to
come and get a tour and meet folks?<br /> <br /> First phase of planning garden structure:<br /> <br /> The first questions to be addressed will be:<br /> 1) How will expenses be paid?<br /> 2) How will decisions be made?<br /> 3) What will membership look like? (open vs. closed? Requirements? Benefits?)<br /> <br />
We will try to cover as much on the above three topics as possible. At a
future meeting, the group will need to decide things like:<br /> <br /> 1) What will be grown?<br /> 2) What methods will be used?<br /> 3) How large will the garden be/become?</span></span></h6>

I
have recently been turning 3 of our 5 compost piles. My observation is
that we haven't been using enough carbon (straw and leaves) as well as
too much coffee grounds. We must use way more carbon in the future as
the juice pulp from Body and the coffee grounds are extremely dense and
rich. All three piles have been relayered with a generous amount of
straw.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: large;">REMINDER</span>:</b> <span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Dandelion Ranch Planning Meeting</b></span><br />
<span style="font-size: medium;"><b>Sat April 14</b></span><br />
9:00am-12:30pm<br />
Location to be determined<br />
<br />
This will be an important meeting to plan how Dandelion Ranch will
function in the coming season and beyond. The small group that initiated
the garden with the help of volunteers, has established infrastructure
and set things in motion. Now is the time for the larger community to
step forward and take more of a leadership role. The group as a whole
will decide how the garden functions from now on. An agenda will be
proposed and everyone is asked to contribute on the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/groups/331351296922477/">Facebook Dandelion Ranch group page</a>. <b> </b><br />
