the issues around this are that those seeds may have been treated in various ways to prevent bugs in storage or even the storage conditions could be different and since it wasn't meant for human consumption there are not as many regulations about what the grower, processor, manufacturer...

if you have just a little grass i would remove it because once it gets going it really gets a lot harder to remove. sod busting is a PITA, the best way of dealing with sod so far has been to dig a deep enough hole that you can bury it and still plant what you want on top and put few layers of...

i guess some people really want instant... i think i mentioned before that a boss i had would drink coffee before going to bed because he said it helped him get up in the morning.

my first thought on seeing it was WAF (Wierd A$$ Flower)... :) pretty, but strange.

almost done with turning the ex-strawberry patch so i should be able to get it ready to plant later today and plant it tomorrow morning. digging holes and burying things is a lot faster than weeding and i like that i'm not wasting valuable organic materials and also the energy from the sun that...

sadly we can no longer edit older posts so i can't go back and change that, but if you remove the end part of that link the beginning part will still take you to their home page.

got going on the next garden for bean planting and made progress but it will likely be tomorrow to finish getting it turned under again and then plant on Monday.

groundhog 2 made the mistake of making a noise when i dumped a bucket of weeds on the weed pile and then it ran along the fence trying to find a way out, but i didn't have my air rifle with me so i had to come back to the house and then go back out and it did not get away. they are not very...

with the dam removals and restoration of the river banks with wildlowers, native grasses and trees it already looks much nicer and the salmon have already found their way.

the snake and nest were about 40 feet apart. the snake didn't bother the previous nest/eggs.

a killdeer momma came and is reusing the nest that was recently vacated (a week or two ago) so either it is the same birdie who lost her babies (i'm not sure yet) or a new one. alas i will need to weed the pathway near that nest sometime soon and she's not going to like it. oh and i saw the...

works for me. i did have a donut yesterday and today (with butter pecan ice-cream). once a month we get donuts - ice-cream is a bonus...

i was very happy today to finally get back to bean planting and so i was able to finish up planting one of the gardens by selecting a mix of beans from the various out crosses from last year's crops. i did not count exactly how many selections i used but probably about seven (but may be more...

i finished a garden by planting three rows of beans - in the process of doing that i also made sure to bury all my existing compostable materials that i had in trays and flats around my room waiting for me to do something with them. i hardly recognize my room - it is very strange to see it in...

corn is not a crop we do much with here, but composting and using bottom mucks from low areas is known and used by me for other crops. also noted the comment about the area likely not being forested for many of those years. around here any area not managed will revert to forest within 20 years...

the high points would be great, but i would be so glad to get home... :)

and you can tell that cat is not there voluntarily and a bit annoyed (leaning away from the dog...).

sorry to hear about your dog having troubles. in the middle of all that other stuff it must be a tough time. :hugs to all.

yesterday was the annual running of the worms finale and over the past several months i've been thinking of retiring from worm keeping and so i have not restarted the worm buckets yet and i may not until the fall or perhaps never. i did learn a lot about them from keeping them and taking care...

they look ok, if a bit bumpy which i've not seen here - normally they are smooth. the walls are not as thick like a bell pepper so meaty is not a word i'd use to describe them, but they are not a thin walled pepper either (i don't tend to like those other than the small hot ones used for flavor...
