I like balance- - hey all my Rhodiola‘s up now!

Welcome; from Alaska. We’re kinda like a big top Circus with little side shows everywhere you look. Hope some of them are appealing to you?

While working on an outside irrigation connection this “Lawn Python” came right up where i was working and headed off to my left; down the bed! Im sure the .7in of rain we got last evening had a positive effect on my worms! I hate it when i see a Robin lift a big one, guess I'm kinda weird...

I’m happy to see some “boy” flowers in the summer squash and immediately put this one to good use. Went over the beds with the Mantis, then smoothed them and am now waiting on some soil temp. This 10 -14 day cool/cloudy weather pattern is perfect for hardening, however; that will likely be...

Worked the compost over this morning, as i do every year; but today i took a few pictures to aid the story. Each of these enclosures are 12 ft long and 6 ft deep. There’s 2 of them. A movable divider is used to further divide that space and i’ve settled on 5ft based on knowing what i’ll...

Starting to harden off.

Now that i can see things in the greenhouse better im finding nearly a first mess of green beans. Mid May is usual for us so this is good.

The peas move went well and the outside leg of the irrigation was commissioned so they’ll water daily. Moving these large pots in and out for hardening is too much work and a couple years ago i stumbled onto this which has worked well; so far. I always move them out on an overcast day and shove...

Frog legs must be an “acquired taste thing”, kinda had an off taste to me. They are a big hit at the state fair where more are probably bought on “a dare” than for culinary quality. i’ve heard about the nerve twitch thing tossing them out of a pan but never seen it. No better than they are to...

I just plugged “organic garden centers in Florida” into a search engine and several came up. Here’s the first one. https://www.anaturalfarm.com/

Thanks @digitS', after butchering a couple the other day i got to looking at that loin/thigh piece and saw a similarity to a real nice pair of frog legs and that’s when the foolishness commenced! I thought to myself, “a lot of folks joke about the size of Alaskan Mosquitos but no one says...

Tough audience i guess? Never even got a rise on my month late April fools “Bullfrog Quip”! Today’s my favorite day of the year, “The day i get the water on Auto pilot”. At this point the Greenhouse, fruit trees, strawberry’s, asparagus and rabbits are on timed, reliable, no maintenance...

We’re eating our own Parsley continually now, a little bouquet like this every day. The Sandhill Cranes are returning, which i record for posterity’s sake and the Bull Frogs are out of hibernation now. I got a couple nice ones, like this one earlier today.

@heirloomgal, Thanks i work hard at it but i’m certain it’s “the Lord who gives the increase”. All by myself, i’m not that smart. @catjac1975 I’ve been “into bees” for roughly 40 years and seen how this problem has grown and grown. You’re right about it being much broader than just my...

In the Greenhouse things are changing daily now. Once mint in the bed emerges and im sure i’ll not need any starts this 40lb pot of Chocolate Mint will be sent to a new home. Today the pea net went up and im hopeful to get the 8ea 20gal pea pots out side early next week. The green beans are 3 ft...

This is both a happy and a sad day for me each year when i hive the bees. Happy knowing they will do their best for me and sad at knowing the hostile neighborhood i brought them into. The ignorance of some and the apathy of others who vainly strive for perfect lawns do irreparable damage far...

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve trimmed the tops back on these onions since planting them in late December. But im pretty certain they are going to do well once they go in the ground in another month. Probing the raised beds shows they are still frozen down about 5 inches! All that snow...

If you have a smart phone there is a feature allowing you to click on pictures of plants and most animals and it will identify them for you! On my phone your mystery plant is called a 3 corner Leek which would explain the onion smell! It also told me “Wally” is a Mountain Cur...

The Peas were ready for a bump, some Beans are getting after it and a snow pile shot from, over the edge.
