I usually prefer non-human animal manures for that sort of thing. Are you using a composting toilet or some other mechanism to reduce pathogenic potential?
That is a good morning!
I bit the bullet and ordered some shirts to wear while I'm working the market stand, and I'm hopeful that they make everything more cohesive. Logo is the front, catchphrase is the back:
I helped a friend out of a bind this week, and tomorrow I'll be helping another friend start to transplant his garden from his old house to his new one. Hopefully this heat dome doesn't ruin our efforts.
Friendly reminder that lightning bugs need tall grasses present in addition to wildflowers and leaf litter. You can also improve their survival rates by removing artificial lighting or even just setting any safety lighting (like motion activated lamps) to their shortest "on" duration. Another obvious step is to avoid pesticides.
They can get pretty gigantic. They don't all grow to that size, but a rhubarb plant that's been in a spot it likes for a few seasons can be massive. Since the stalks are the edible part. We use those leaves as a chop and drop mulch to smother and cover weeds
One of our market friends is a mom & pop bakery, and she asked this past weekend if we had any 😂
I agree, it's amazing
At first I had a little trouble but then I saw the telltale "V" of ripples in the water. You might have wanted a different picture but I think you captured the mood perfectly.
I adore how consistently I get to learn about unfamiliar plants when you post! Your space sounds so lovely 💕
We're in USDA 5, and looking at its cold tolerance we still trend lower than the -10C/14F I see listed for it, sometimes for weeks on end.
That's a good move, if it weren't for our plant nursery we would be extending the sorrel harvest the same way.
Those passion fruit are awesome, and I wish I could grow them here without needing to bring them inside for winter
I like sage with butternut squash soup, personally. And there's probably still some time for you to get a harvest of those.
I mean this as constructively as possible: that's not a composting toilet and the practice you've described raises health risks for you and the people to whom you give food.
