Snow Is Fertilizer

30°F, Mostly Cloudy, S 8 mph wind, .89” monthly rain, Winter Weather Advisory Snow doesn’t happen a lot here, but we sometimes get a day or two of snow in the winter. The thing about snow, even though the ice and snow can be annoying when having to drive to work, is that it actsContinue reading "Snow Is Fertilizer"

Here goes nothing-

45°F, rain, S 18 mph Wind, Winter storm Warning. Attempting small loaves of bread in the small air fryer. I miss baking bread. I miss tasty bread. If it works, I’ll share the recipe. This isn’t sourdough but it’s a start. Edit: It’s passable and certainly better than store bought. But I still need toContinue reading "Here goes nothing-"

More Wintersowing

45°F (started out 29°), sunny, calm I gathered a few more containers to get some early spring veggies planted- kale, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, chard, etc. I had a little help from Freya kitten in the greenhouse. As I was puttering around I recalled there were some pvc pipes laying around. Have been for a veryContinue reading "More Wintersowing"

Beautiful little bees

25°- 54°F, sunny, calm Once again it started out clear and icy. The sun is nice but I really miss having running water and a useable toilet. I’ve found the perfect sized bowl that fits perfect in my camper toilet, lined with compostable bags for compost buckets, and I bury them in the woods. ItContinue reading "Beautiful little bees"

The bees came out.

43°f, clear, calm Don’t forget to sterilize the pruning tools between trees. Despite the cold 21° start here it warmed up enough for me to spot a couple little bees out and about checking out the garden. I came home from work this morning and felt the need to get outside myself, so I plantedContinue reading "The bees came out."

Fruit Trees Are Becoming Unaffordable

It used to be that buying a bare root fruit tree was an inexpensive investment well worth the upfront cost. I remember ordering several a year with money I earned in a low wage student job. Mail order and locally. They were good quality and produced well. Now, if you dare order a bareroot tree,Continue reading "Fruit Trees Are Becoming Unaffordable"

I told you so. Many times.

28°F, partly cloudy, 3 mph east wind And I will keep saying I told you so. The death of our country our values and freedoms have occurred. If you are ok with that, do not follow this blog. I’m not interested in following you or listening to a word you say. You are but aContinue reading "I told you so. Many times."

The Gulf of Mexico states are experiencing snow.

30°F, foggy, NE 2 mph wind The rest of the country is experiencing some cold weather as well. My toilet is frozen and I’m pooping in a bucket now. 😑. Haven’t had running water for days. But I’m not complaining because I know things could be so much worse, and likely will be from hereContinue reading "The Gulf of Mexico states are experiencing snow."
