54°F, partly cloudy, NE 3 mph wind It’s terribly nice weather so after loading the rig with trash to take to the dump tomorrow and helping with the delivery of the new homestead washing machine, I did laundry, and then decided to work outside a bit more in the woods clearing space around that wildContinueContinue reading “Apple Rescue”

My refrigerator decided to unalive.
48°F, partly cloudy, wind NW 7 mph PTSD Anxiety has a bad hold on me today. and the fridge going out hasn’t helped that at all. Especially since RV fridges cost more than $1000. Which I don’t have. So I don’t know what I’m going to do for food for a while. And the foodContinueContinue reading “My refrigerator decided to unalive.”
Attempting video
43°, Mostly Cloudy, passing rain showers I’m attempting to load up some video I tried to make while planting onion seeds. Apparently you can’t load up anything very long. I had to break it up into pieces. I’m not sure how to edit yet and perhaps it’s easier to do on an actual computer ratherContinueContinue reading “Attempting video”
A rain free day— yesterday
46°, Partly Cloudy, Light Wind Day off and I was feeling pretty good. I know I should stay home on days like this and work the homestead but I took my dog out for some spoiling fun walking instead at one of the local coastal parks. He deserved a day of spoiling. Meanwhile, a videoContinueContinue reading “A rain free day— yesterday”
It’s the Pits!
46°, rain, flood watch (down the hill), breezy I mentioned yesterday that my friend who owns the land I’m renting saved some fruit tree pits. Various kinds. I soaked them in warm water with a few water changes yesterday and over night. Some will try to crack the outer shell, but it’s very difficult toContinueContinue reading “It’s the Pits!”
Hybrids, GMO’s and Open Pollinated
First off, I’m going to start off with a bit of a controversial topic. Often when I mention hybrid plants to the more misinformed crowd, there are always those who suddenly get up in arms, frantic that I’m about to make some horrible mistake. in which I try to kindly inform them then that hybridsContinueContinue reading “Hybrids, GMO’s and Open Pollinated”
Grief and Seeds
It’s no secret to anyone in my circle that I’ve been grieving a lot this year. The loss of family, the loss of a homestead and everything I put my hopes for the future in. I’ve been betrayed and abused and if it weren’t for very close friends I would have been homeless. That wouldContinueContinue reading “Grief and Seeds”
Sprouts
43°, light rain, light wind Alfalfa sprouts In a small space, in winter and you want fresh home grown vegetables, raising sprouts is the way to go. It literally takes up less than half a square foot of space. I keep the sprouter in the little microwave so it doesn’t take up space elsewhere. OnceContinueContinue reading “Sprouts”
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-“
Frugal Gardening: Maximizing Plant Uses for Sustainable Living
Light rain this morning with some thunder. That is my new “rule” for myself concerning plants and the garden. Before, I made a lot of random purposes that just caught my eye. And yes, plants bring me joy just existing without any other use. But I must be frugal, and try to cut some ofContinueContinue reading “Frugal Gardening: Maximizing Plant Uses for Sustainable Living”
