I’m not sure if it’s been the heat, allergies, or just plain old funk, but I haven’t been able to get much done the last few days. I’m supposed to be at the co-op right now, as I normally go volunteer there on sorting day.
Food is getting more and more expensive even there, but it’s […]
It’s been hot and humid here this week, rained twice, with some golf-ball sized hail the other night. Fortunately nothing got damaged. I’ve been under the weather (still not feeling all that well today), which is why I haven’t been posting.
My plants all seem smaller than usual for this time of year, I’m not sure […]
Well, it’s been more of the hot lately, but I think I’ve been reading the news too much. Gas prices, foreclosures, homelessness, food supply issues … all on the rise. And none of the candidates seems to have a clue.

Put more dishwater on the compost pile, and added the rabbit litter to a new […]

Ladies may start them too.

I am anxious to start planting and working outside again.
Any suggestions as to when I should start seeds indoors for planting this spring.
All you need is dirt and something […]
Here’s an interesting article, even if it gets a bit weird at the end: The Waking-Up Syndrome
[…] While the sky may not be falling, this day-after-day onslaught of alarming news is making it more difficult simply to overlook the triple threat of environmental, climatic and economic concerns. It’s leaving many of us feeling like Alice […]
Patrik wants pictures, Patrik gets pictures (click on them to enlarge):
Here’s the north side of the garden. It’s gotten down into the teens at times, but a few layers of row cover (available at hardware stores and online) has done fine in keeping things unfrozen. I have greens, turnips, onions, garlic, and beets still in […]
