I do love wood sorrel! The brightness is tasty. They are high in oxalate ( like every green I like!?) So one must be sparing. I heed to find nettles and lambs ear to spread. I think thry don't prefer forest soil here 🤔

I have 2 Tahitian Melon Squash ( they remind me of cantaloupe flavor) left downstairs... I've never had a Squash keep so long!! Annnnnd it's heirloom. They grow pretty large, though not so much in my lack of sun.

I've got 1( getting more) huuuuuge grain sack from a local distillery which I intend to make into 4x4x3 raised hugel beds to include my new figs. They're 4x4x4, but who.needs 4' deep beds? I'm trying to keep voles and roots at bay. I may put a 4x4 peice of hardware cloth under.

I'm losing my ' try to get along' battle with ants. All kinds, including fire ants. (The farging bastages will crawl far up you Then start biting. Oh, my neck n shoulders)

Jerusalem artichokes survived a hard chomp down by deer. These are my survival planting.

Today I try to get some stuff to build an outside shower by putting a rain barrel up on my deck and shower underneath. Gunna use pallets for the sides. 🤔

Whew... better get a move on...

Thoroughly enjoyed this article.

Great pictures I am fasinated by the dragonflies. I never knew garlic greens were called scapes but it is a reliable perennial even in Las Vegas simply planted as some bulbs which had green growth on top. Yes there are ways to survive the grid collapse but we'd all better get working on them...here's to good health.
