Welcome to the Walden Effect! We do most of our blogging at www.waldeneffect.org. Mother Earth News offered us the opportunity to share our cheerful self-sufficiency here, and we’re thrilled to be reaching a larger audience.

Here in southwest Virginia, we’ve had a mild–but very wet–winter, so we’re already dreaming of spring. We’re getting our perennials weeded, fertilized, mulched, and pruned, and will soon be planting our first lettuce bed of the year. Meanwhile, we’re still eating fresh greens from the garden nearly every day thanks to our quick hoops, and are also enjoying homegrown carrots, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and garlic stored in our fridge and on our kitchen shelves, plus lots of frozen produce.
