Wow! My starter tomato and pepper plants have really taken off! I’m getting ready for the patio garden!!!!!!! I just posted a new entry in my blog on the food2gro blog. The plants are doing well!

This year in Palo Alto where the weather is great, the garden should do very well. I am hoping to get things planted on the patio by the end of March. It sure has been great and I’ve had lots of support! Thanks to everyone for their photos, links and resources! I truly appreciate it.

I’ve set up a plan to take the biointensive gardening course in Mendocino in late fall next year. It’s a 2 or 3 day course. After that when the 5 day course is available, I’ll be taking it too. I want to teach others how to grow through biointensive methods. I’m hoping I get a chance to teach others when I make the big move to Costa Rica!

We are looking at property in the Puriscal area in Costa Rica, it is in the central valley so it’s up high enough to grow a variety of fruits and vegetables. There is a lovely  small city near by called Santiago. Farms are near by so it is pretty much rural. Great for the goats! I haven’t been able to find out if there are an Nigerian Dwarf Dairy Goats in Costa Rica. I did find out they are very stringent on bringing in livestock from the outside. They have a page dedicated to goats and what they need to get through customs.

We’re in the process of selling a piece of property we own outside of Seattle, Washington on the Kitsap peninsula. It’s a great place with 2.5 acres. Views of the sound and the Olympic Mt. range. Close to the sound too! A boat launching near by. We love it there but we want warmer weather. So once that is sold, we’ll start investigating Costa Rica…. although that will take time because remember, we have 4 more years to go!

I’ll keep you updated on our endeavors next week! In the meantime, check out the food2gro blog! It’s really developing into a nice blog! Images, videos and some text. I designed it to break things up a bit. I like to give the reader visual stimulus too! All the products and companies I feature come highly recommended. Just remember to always go organic!
