First Posting


It is here that we go "public" for the first time... at least, as far as the internet goes.  Perhaps it was a couple weekends ago, when we sat at West Side Market as the Possibilitarian Garden presenting "The Full Sensory Elixir Experience" that we went "public" to the city of Cleveland.  And of course, it was about a year ago, that we went "public" to the people on our street of E 117th, that we are, indeed, urban farmers- and this is our little homestead.
"Homestead," that is, is perhaps the more appropriate way to categorize "Possibilitarian Garden."  We are not quite an urban farm.  And it's becoming more of a garden, simply because it is a way of life.  Gardening, homesteading, farming - call it what you will.  But we surely are not an operation (not yet anyway) that is qualifiable as a "farm."  I'm still working on to see if we can grow enough fruit and veggies for ourselves to eat for the rest of the year- let alone a mass of people.
So, there it is- Possibilitarian Garden!  or Possibilitarian Homestead or simply- The Homestead.

----------------
With hope, this webpage can highlight our sojourn- with photos, with words, with stories, with experience.  We are just one urban homestead growing amongst a huge movement that is spreading across the globe.  In just the short time of over 16 months (with some months fluctuating as to who was in residency), we have encountered many obstacles, and had many successes, and many questions, some solutions, and continued wondering as to what the future holds for us here at E 117th in Cleveland, OH, USA.
I will be writing, along with some of my housemate Homestead counterparts.  You can expect to hear from Noah and Daniel and perhaps others, as Noah tackles the newly built aquaponics greenhouse operation, and Daniel talks with the kids on the street.  I'm sure there will be other topics, too.
For now- I will keep it short, and keep you posted.  As we will be shortly getting a digital camera to get in the latest images of what's happening here.  In the meantime, I'll do my best to be descriptive- to show with words; also, to catch this page up-to-date with what's been happening here for the last 16 months.
FOR NOW -
ONWARD!
To the hot sun of July,
Diana
