Had my corn blow down in the last few days. This years been rough. About ready to push the reset button.

progress on my concrete pylons, the basket and a few thoughts on “sustainability”. Why I am concerned about the broad meaning that is being applied to the term “sustainable”. There are a lot of good people doing some very good things that make a wonderful contribution but I do not consider them as sustainable. True…
Saving a few seeds and a little info about some of the plants. Everything is edible. One thing not mentioned in the video is that bees love Borage and are partial to the Nasturtiums as well. Great pollinator attractors for the garden.

One of my favorite videos I have ever made. A harvest video from the garden and what one of Masanobu Fukuokas mot popular quote means to me at this stage of my life. Shalom

The term “Sustainable” has been bandied about and used as catchphrase to grab peoples attention but there is very little that is sustainable about most of the things I see being pushed. Yes, some of these things ARE good and have a…
I hope that this video inspires you! Know that you can do this if you want.
Taking a cue from Rich with the basket. Here is what we pulled out for dinner.
Little bit on the 3rd garden area. We’ve had to pull back on working on it for many reasons this summer and it is not as far along as I had hoped.
