citrus peels and worms are fine, but you need the right kind of worms. :) if you have time you can experiment and try to adapt your local native worms to citrus peels.
i also bury all bones in the gardens. they don't usually attract any thing else because they are buried deeply enough in our...
regular rains mean gobs of weeds. i'm ok. just trying to get as much done as i can before the weeds start dropping seeds. i'm still planting too because i'm hoping i can get a bean crop of some sort (fresh or dry or both) and i'd rather have some ground cover to keep weeds down instead of...
at last we made some black walnut cookies and i've been enjoying those. the past few days i've had a few for breakfast with blueberries and a glass of milk.
for dinner last night i doctored up a can of Spaghettios and meatballs (absolutely horrible but it gets the job done - i won't be buying...
today was foggy this morning so you can imagine how humid it was out there. i kept having these sharp pains in my legs and was thinking it was just my lower back/nerves/etc. stuff but it was actually a biting fly. lil booger.
came in to take a break and cool off, not sure i'm up for more of...
roofing guy made it out yesterday to fix leak, it was a new one experienced after a very long and narrow storm lined up right on this area enough to give us several inches of rain in a short period of time. it was dripping in the living room area right on Mom's chair and down that beam. i hope...
weeded the small onion patch and then it was rain coming plus had to come in to check on if the roofing guy was going to come over and see if he could find the leak (we had a real heavy rain last week and they were all on vacation and busy early this week so today was the day if we could get him...
yes, the several dam collapses in mid-Michigan in recent years was a good example of that happening. it turned out my brother's place near there is just a few feet sideways and perhaps a few feet higher from the 100yr flood elevation (but the flood waters did not get that high).
where we are...
beautiful day outside, not too hot and a good breeze, was able to get some weeding done and enjoy most of the day outside. :) forgot to get to the peas... tomorrow... i need to send myself an e-mail as a reminder.
aside from my griping about extra work from trimming (in another thread :) ) it did get done yesterday for an hour. that's plenty of that BS for me (i hate lawns - i just do - chalk that up to mowing lawns for $ as a kid) and then got to weeding and trying to finish up that big garden so i can...
after the aforementioned trimming i got out and finished weeding the garden i'd like to plant with beans (late, but we'll do it anyways as they'll help keep some weeds down and provide some N and perhaps a crop of fresh beans for eating even if none get to dry bean stage before the frost takes...
weed wacked for an hour (that's plenty enough of that for me and i'm glad the battery pack doesn't last longer). Mom decided to complain that she didn't like to do it even if it was possible for her to do it after all. so there ya go. not surprised by this "turn" of events, but now i get to...
