This is why I don’t trade or leverage.

It’s the digital equivalent of the awesome neighbourhood restaurant that pops up and achieves great success with good portions and good quality only to screw the locals that made them a success. No re-sub planned. View quoted note →

The beds and stackable potato boxes that I built three years ago, just before filling them for the first time. Since they are open to the earth, I regularly find worms in them when I turn the soil over. There’s one more 4’x4’x3’ not shown. Thousands of wood screws and every hole pre-drilled and countersunk so I wouldn’t split the lumber. A month of weekends for a little food sovereignty. #gardenstr

Tonight I went and planted 50 seed potatoes and about 30 onions in these composted chip piles three miles from home. I’m not expecting much of a yield but it sure would be cool if it worked out and we got enough rain. I’m just completely leaving them alone all summer. #geurrillagardening

The tomatoes are putting on some mass. Time to transplant this weekend. #gardenstr

Came home from planting potatoes and this was paused on the TV. Even the dog is disturbed lol

I went and prepped the site of my guerrilla gardening experiment tonight and saw one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen in my soil nerd life. As I levelled off a 15x12” area where I plan to plant and basically abandon 50-60 seed potatoes and onions in these 5-6 year old composted chip piles, I realized that at a depth of about 6”, the entire 50x20yd collection of scores of chip piles were host to one gigantic mycelium network. Everywhere I dug, the same mesh of white mycelial fibres, from one end of the stockpile to the other. If you look at the closeups, it was the same mesh everywhere. All connected. All one giant organism. Man nature is amazing. #permaculture

Great end to a great day. Evening Nostriches

Big day lol

Some days you just have to say f*ck it. Today was one of those days. “Good morning sweetheart xo. I have lots of chores I could fill this day with. In fact, I could take this whole week off work and still not get everything done. So instead, I want to do something fun and laugh with my best friend. YOU. I need a reminder of why I keep putting one foot in front of the other through these busy weeks. See you when you come down for coffee xo.”

What a life. #catstr

Rotating canning stock to make way for new stuff. Pressure canned home fries from fall 2023, fried in self rendered beef tallow. I told my wife if she sees a lump moving down my arm later not to be alarmed. It’s GOOD fat lol. Happy Sunday y’all 🤙🏽

Another nice morning sun session. For us and the plants.
