That story about an innovative gardener comes from Alaska. Which reminds me … has anybody heard from Kevin Wilmeth lately? They had that beast of a storm up there and I wonder how he and any other more-or-less coastal Alaska readers are doing.

I haven’t heard from him in a couple of weeks, and he usually comments more often than that. He hasn’t posted on his blog in three weeks. Hope he’s okay.
Thanks, Joel. And Kevin, if you’re out there … we’re thinking about you.
That’s pretty neat. I would have expected it to look ugly, but it doesn’t (although maybe it does when there’s nothing growing in it?).
BTW, I got an email from Kevin. His reasons for being silent are all positive ones, and he was far enough away from the storm to be barely affected by it. Glad to hear that …
That would look good on,say, a wooden deck,or a full-length porch rail. I’ve seen hydroponic setups that use gutters, but not just plain dirt. I might try that against my garage-I’m not much of a gardener,but that looks doable to me.
I’ve seen hydrponic and aquaponic setups that used gutters, but I always though plain dirt would dry out too fast to make it practical in them. Still, if she can keep it from drying out, it looks really cool!
Holy smokes, but it’s nice to be loved. Thanks for the well-wishes. Here, over a thousand miles from, say, Nome (and with some pretty impressive topographic barriers enroute), we haven’t even really got anything that is not identifiably seasonal.
Yes, the beyond-scanning-headlines hiatus is harmless, and has even been a bit therapeutic. I suspect things may kick in again after the beginning of the year, but I always reserve the right to just lurk. 🙂
And as I mentioned to Claire in email (this audience may appreciate the reference), I can now say that I am decidedly no longer a Cockapoo–the situation has improved that I can even take my Mole activities into the voluntary realm. This will improve anyone’s day!
Glad to hear you are OK, Kevin. 🙂
At least those gutters will be cleaner than this:
