After thinking about it i had to change the title, which seemed to fit better - - “backwards”!

I’ve never seen this “water puddle” with out water in it and every time it rains it turns into a quasi lake. Our 1.3 inch rain on Thu/Fri didn’t help either and yet “someone” will invariably attempt to cut the corner which brings about the exact same results every time!🙄 And then of course one...

Try a Minusk Lion! Several of us grew them this year, greenhouse or outdoors and even non Tomato growers got good results, very large good tasting fruit.

They were dry enough to bunch and they can hang here in the Barn till the cellar cools down a bit.

The first time thru, that Comfrey was still to wet so i just shredded it with no screen. After drying i ran it back thru a finer screen and ended up with 20lbs of meal. I’ll quit here as i don't need it any finer. So now i know how this will go, 1 cutting will yield 2lbs of amendment per bed...

Perfect timing! Before noon yesterday i took the pumpkins and cut the potato vines and covered them. I’ll dig them in 2-3 weeks. Then i attempted to grind the one cutting from my new Comfrey patch which is still too wet so the hammer-mill just shredded it. Now it’s on the shop floor for a week...

The new hive was lifted into a pickup this morning and is setting up the hill at the intended location and i’ve got 3 strong helpers headed this way. The big thing was getting it out of the shop; making room for the other projects in the pipeline!

With “some wet” right around the corner; i lifted the Onions and got them in the shed where they will cure a week or so then get bunched and hung. Im happy with the outcome, thank you Lord! The second crop brocilli is flowering too and im pretty certain they will finish in time. (they always...

They are used in our “daily fruit mug”, which is a big part of breakfast.

Caution!! This could happen if you plant a Cherry tree! Two trays per picking, probably a couple more pickings left on tree. Pitted and frozen then bagged. The Raspberries keep coming too, at this point we’re at 7 gallons in the freezer, probably go for another couple gallons before turning...

This hurts my feelings when a Cucumber isn’t happy with what i provide and trys to escape!

All the Comfrey is cut and hung in the barn to dry. When i set up to grind compost; ill run the shocks of Comfrey thru the hammer mill too. Ground id expect this much will fit in a 50lb feed sack and with an NPK value higher than most Manure; it will be added to the amendment schedule in the...

Raspberries doing well this year. I pick this many every other day and when i look at where i’ve been it doesn’t look like i’ve picked them! Of course im only going for the easy, cleanest berry’s too.

Just finished our Sockeye dip netting season and took 35 of these glistening beauties along the way. Of course all the "leavings" went into the Hydroslate drum and will eventually end up on something around here.

new comfrey patch coming along nicely.
