Picking more strawberries before dinner image I've been weeding the apple tree nursery while I pick and it's starting look a little less unruly, seems to time out well with the growth of the weeds. This has been a great year for strawberries so far. They seem to be much sweeter than last year. We've been eating so many we haven't had enough for another batch in the dehydrator. I think there will be enough to run it if I pick again tomorrow morning. #permies #permaculture #homesteading #grownostr #selfsovereignty #strawberry #perennial #foodforest #nursery #appletree #graftedapple View quoted note →

thats a great haul, I have some rouge chipmunks eating mine, I lack the courage to kill them because they are too cute.... damn. bottom left. image
I like the looks of that garden! I can see chipmunks causing problems, they seem to thrive in back yards. I think the combination of our dog and the high number of plants they can't eat them all here if they can make it past the dog.
I thought I was about to have a ton of strawberries to dry, but my dog seems to have discovered the strawberries and he is trampling my strawberry plants looking and eating fresh strawberries. It means he is knocking off a bunch of the green berries so they will never ripen. He also knocked down a couple of asparagus ferns. I may have to find a way to protect my garden.
Third load of strawberries in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator image Another full load of strawberries in the Bitcoin mining dehydrator and I was able to get out and pick more right away. The strawberries are starting to slow down so I might get one or two more good pickings. image #permaculture #permies #homesteading #grownostr #selfsovereignty #dehydrator #strawberry #perennial #plebminer #homemining #bitcoinmining #bitcoin #foodforest #nursery View quoted note →
