So many tomatoes ripe at once. To say I’ve been busy is an understatement. And that’s on top of having the Covid. I went to the trouble of masking in public. I hunted down and fought for the newest Covid variant vaccine. And it was a fight because I’m not 65 and the confusion MrContinueContinue reading “Catch Up (ketchup?)”

Peas and Onions
@ 10:57 am. 61.5°F, 82% humidity, NW 1.3 mph wind, cloudy This is the worst harvest of onions I have ever had. Could be a few reasons for this but the soil I know was good.

It will be time to prune fruit trees and vines soon anyway.

You use what is available naturally as much as possible that you can get for free. That may look different wherever you are. For instance,ContinueContinue reading “Leaf it to me.”
In-Place Nutrient Cycling: Saving Money and Caring for the Environment
One thing I’ve always been a proponent for was in-place nutrient cycling. “What IS that?” You may be wondering. It’s something I’ve always believed in, even without knowing there was a proper name for it or that other people believed in it. It’s just one of those common sense (to me) practices. It’s an ideaContinueContinue reading “In-Place Nutrient Cycling: Saving Money and Caring for the Environment”
