Hyperlocavore is an exciting concept and I hope it gets all the support and interest it deserves. I'd be happy to modify the link so people will be sure to be able to find you. Sylvana, that's a great arrangement. Hooking up with people you know is probably the easiest way to get going with yard sharing--you get over the "blind date" way of meeting prospective gardeners or homeowners. Good luck with the squash! Liz, thanks so much for stopping by and encouraging everyone to get involved.

Plus, it gives me space to put all that squash! I actually have been gardening my friends’ yard this year since with their new baby, they just don’t have time.

Yes, we are thin in certain areas, but the idea is so new. We really need help getting the word out! You can let your network of friends know about the site and yard sharing and at the same time help other find partners by using the INVITE feature on the site. Perhaps few people are listed in SD for instance, but maybe your extended network has someone in it that may be interested. Our extended networks are actually huge! So invite yours and see who they invite! Again thanks so much for helping us get the idea out there. It's pretty clear to me that it will just keep growing. I've only been up for a few months. Also - the permanent link is hyperlocavore.com - to keep that link working you might want to change it. Take care! Liz Thank you so much for the post!

Again thanks so much for helping us get the idea out there. It’s pretty clear to me that it will just keep growing. I’ve only been up for a few months.

Also — the permanent link is hyperlocavore.com — to keep that link working you might want to change it.

Take care!

I did a post on him and guerrilla gardening a while back. It's an idea whose time has come. There are so many wasted city spaces that need some attention. Ryan, I'm glad to hear from someone who's actually seen it. Fortunately it's out on DVD (or just about to be) so those of us who missed it can get a look. We have a perfectly good prickly pear that keeps popping itself over the wall. John got some lessons in making nopales from it a while back and we really should do more with it that just hauling the sprawly bits to the dump. Country Mouse, I think that was Richard Reynolds.

I knew nothing about the story, so it was a really gripping story. I found it a really interesting cultural document, they really gardened like people from another country and culture, planting rows of prickly pear and papaya and so forth, stuff I would never think to grow.

I heard an interview on NPR with a British guy who is a "guerilla gardener" - sneaking into derelict spots you don't own and clearing and planting. He said mostly nobody minds once they see you are actually returning and maintaining the gardens. Thanks for letting your reading public know about the documentary - will look out for it.
