For me, the phrase "fertile edge" represents the place where things meet and the interactions that follow that meeting. I gravitate towards these places, both physically and mentally. Physically it might be the intertidal zone, freshly tilled dirt, the horizon, or the seasons. Mentally, it is when I am mixing ideas in new ways or about to cross the threshold to trying something new. Fertile edges are where the opportunities and failures of my life take place.

 

Fertile edges make me feel excited, nervous, full and driven. This blog is meant to be an online journal to record and share the edges I am exploring as I learn to live with a high tunnel in NH. I have never owned a high tunnel, I am not a professional gardener, and everything here is a result of trial and error. I welcome questions, thoughts and suggestions.
