I went to both of those as well on Saturday. That meat was gross! The ride home Sunday afternoon was only a light rain and then I hit a major accident that added 2 hours when I was only 30 miles from home. I'm glad I stayed. I had no intention of taking the Hidden Garden class and it turned out to be my favorite. Rick Austin has a series of books that I'll bring to the campout this Saturday. Basic premise - they made a garden that looks like crap. It's a jungle. It's a chaotic looking masterpiece that most people would walk right by. All the plants are symbiotic with each other and produces 5X the bounty. The best thing, in my opinion, is that it is pesticide free, fertilizer free, weed free (or don't care). It's a plant once for perennials and only add your veggies every year. Virtually maintenance free. I HATE weeding!
