Wow what a huge exciting project. I noticed from your comment at One Green Generation that you are growing oats for oatmeal. Do you have some kind of mill to flatten them? I've always thought oats might be interesting to grow.
Well if they are oatmeal you have to flatten them. Otherwise they would be oat groats not oatmeal. I make oatmeal (the old fashioned kind that takes time to cook) for the family every weekend. They all love real oatmeal. They put up with the instant kind when we go camping, but don't like it as much thank goodness. I'm thinking if I served them oat groats they would mutiny. I'm trying to find a way at home to make oatmeal from real oats.
Steve and I have started a new undertaking towards sustainable living....'renting' land in exchange for veggies. Our home garden is simply not big enuf to support our family of 6 very hungry people and with several trees in the yard to help us get thru the 'hell' we call summer in the Central Valley of California we can only cultivate so much of our city lot ...is a town of 10,000 officially a city?
Follow us on our adventures in gardening in our lovely neighbor Joyce's yard. Our desire is to become strangers to the checkout gals at the grocery store.

So does Mom know you took her deck?

And Daphne, you mean the oats don't come out in little packages with maple and brown sugar...just add water?
Seriously, you have to flatten them?
ps. thanks for stopping by, I checked out your blog and will definitely be back.

So great! What an awesome reclamation project - and so many beautiful beds ready to be planted. How exciting!
