Day 24: #grownostr intitiative I think it is time to thin the bush beans... #gardening #homesteading

Day 23: #grownostr initiative Good morning all. I am going to be inside today due to the rain that is pending. So I thought I would try a few more nostr clients. Which ones do you like? #plebchain #nostrclients

Day 22: #grownostr initiative I had a couple of plants in my garden that didn't make it. So I planted some Marigolds in their place near the tomatoes and bush beans. #gardening #companionplants

Day 21: #grownostr initiative I am still astounded by interesting people and interesting things that I find on nostr everyday. Very thankful to be a part of this awesome community. Whether it be #BTC, #plebstr or #grownostr.

I finished plumbing the hot and cold water lines in our home today. I am using a manifold and running home runs to each fixture. This allows for the water supply to each fixture in our home to be isolated and turned off without turning off the main water line. #grownostr #plumbing #homebuilding #homestead

Day 19: #grownostr initiative I found this insect on a tomato leaf in my garden this morning. From a quick online search it appears to be some type of fly. I couldn't positively identify it, but there is a great website that helps to identify insects by narrowing them down by appearance, location, etc. insectidentification.org #gardening #insect #entomology

Can someone direct me to a good resource on how to run a relay? #grownostr #relay #freedom

Garden News: The first flowers on the tomato plants have opened. Both were on the Super Sweet 100's. I found two pepper fruits. One is one a Jalapeno and the other is on a Cherry Hot. I found one of my tomato plants dead. After further investigation I found a cutworm. 😞 #grownostr #gardening #homesteading #okie

Day 18: grownostr initiative We have our first irrigation leak of the year. This reminds me of a quote by Kurt Vonnegut: “Another flaw in the human character is that everybody wants to build and nobody wants to do maintenance.” I understand this thought. Everyone imagines slicing and eating that tomato picked from the garden, but few think about the many task that make that tomato taste the way it does. So the next time someone gives you extra vegetables from their garden or you buy delicious produce from a CSA or the farmer's market, remember someone was probably on their knees digging a hole and repairing an irrigation leak to help it grow. #gardening #irrigation #CSA #marketfarming #farmer #maintenance
