Anyone know where A fellow could snag a copy of Bill Mollison’s Autobiography. I’ll take PDF if ya got it​

I have heirloom white half-runner beans, tomatoes, and heirloom okra. My great-grandmother’s aunt gave them to her in the 1930s and they have been passed down ever since. They are the only beans my great-grandmother or grandmother ever grew. She always planted them on Good Friday and they would take about 7 weeks from seed to harvest. We are in Zone 8A/7B in North Georgia. We are able to get 2 and many times 3 crops of them throughout the summer. The heirloom okra has been in my dad’s family for generations. It isn’t clemson spineless, it’s a fatter, stockier kind. I also have walking onions. they haven’t been in my family for generations but were in a friend’s family forever. After this summer, I’ll have a salad tomato seeds. An old preacher gave them to my grandmother. In our climate, they will bear fruit until about November when we get our first hard frost. Super meaty and are a great salad tomato or small sauce tomato. He called them a Russell tomato but I have yet to find a variety online with that name that fits this tomato. Closest thing it resembles is a Thai egg tomato but it’s meatier for sure.

I also have lots of other things I can share as well. Here is I’m looking for whether it’s cuttings, rooted cuttings, starts, etc:

Hardy Kiwi (male and female)

Snow Bank (white) Blackberry (yes it’s a thing!)

Honeyberry/Haskap

Raspberries of most any color

Dwarf sunchokes/sunroot (less invasive)

Salmonberry

Thimbleberry

Tayberry

Gooseberry

Currants (Black or white)

American hazelnut

Bing cherry/Benton cherry (or a variety that would be viable in our climate zone)

good permaculture fruits or veggies of most any kind really

I’m glad to also make a label and email to send out to cut out the work! Anyway, just thought I’d throw it out there! We just moved into our new home and I’m limited on funds but would like to get a good garden going and I’m glad to barter or pay shipping or what have you!

Aloha all- I’m looking for traveling volunteers to give our family a hand. We have 24 acres, some of which is cliff ocean front. Mature gorgeous fruit trees like durian, mango, longon etc. we have tent camping with really comfy clean cot set ups, and newly purchased tents. We provide all meals (with the actual good food I feed my family- you won’t be living off lentils like some places do it!) and also fruit and cold drinking coconuts at our fruit stand.
We ask for 20 hours a week, as 4 five hour days a week. We give rides and take your guys to beaches at least 1-2 days a week.
We have a couple fun people in their 20s currently.

I’m interested in learning about places to get climate adapted seeds or rare seeds for SE Arizona (or generally zone 8b). Any suggestions?
