https://videopress.com/v/TaVokUrq?resizeToParent=true&cover=true&preloadContent=metadata&useAverageColor=true Since it’s a rather pleasant day, warm enough to comfortably work outside and dry too, I’d thought I’d get a start on this project as I need stuff to fill my raised beds and compost anyway. It will be time to prune fruit trees and vines soon anyway.

Seeds I Really Didn’t Need
An addiction…. 50 degrees, Sunny, still air I really didn’t “need” any of these seeds (except for the sprouting seeds for the sprouter). I may need a 12-step program. I must admit seeds are a bit of an addiction for me. Oops. I’ll try to refrain from purchasing anything more.
Sun out, frost in.
That’s the way of winter here. If it’s clear, you get the cold mornings. The frosts. Not Midwest or mountain cold, but you’ll get ice on the windshield and frozen water buckets, which usually thaws by afternoon. Clouds usually moderate the winter temperature here. Which is another reason I chose this area. I’ve lived inContinueContinue reading “Sun out, frost in.”
Can I Trust This?
I’ve heard it before. “You can live here as long as you want.” Usually comes when someone realizes how useful to them I am. “Help take care of so and so” “Till death do us part” “Help to buy this land” “Help maintain this place, develop it” It’s from people I once respected and gaveContinueContinue reading “Can I Trust This?”
Leaf it to me.
Cloudy, waiting on rain and wind today. Mild temps in the 50’s. What do you do when you are a very tight budget and need to fill some garden beds? 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.”
Just Blows You Away
This here states perfectly the idiocy of how certain people “think.” They can’t understand the concept that the atmosphere is heating due to human behavior and has been since the industrial revolution. But they believe that somehow humans are changing the weather with tech aiming weather around at a whim. Science is fake! Climate scienceContinueContinue reading “Just Blows You Away”
Mexico?
No, I will not go to Mexico. My landlords and the owner of this property are considering fleeing the United States after this latest fiasco. A dictator who promises to put the hurt on people exactly like them. And honestly, I wouldn’t blame them if they did. But that would also leave me in aContinueContinue reading “Mexico?”
Just been watching-
It’s been a couple months since I’ve really posted anything. I was tempted, considering all the crazy weather disasters that have been happening but I didn’t feel like it was sensitive to those who are suffering, lost, or dead to have talked about it so soon after the event. I know the people affected inContinueContinue reading “Just been watching-“
Fall Veggies
I spent a few minutes today weeding Gary’s garden and planting seeds for the fall where I had little spaces to squeeze them in. I prefer to plant intensively and not leave open spaces for weeds to grow. Still, I will be fighting weeds in this garden for a while because there are bindweeds andContinueContinue reading “Fall Veggies”
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”
