Finally

I am finally getting somewhere! All the playing with worms, saving and grinding scraps, grinding egg shells, and playing with fish tanks is paying off. My volunteer tomato's are breaking the wood supports tasty! My sweet potatos i started in the fish tank are blooming? and after torturing the grapes ( harsh pruning and no grapes last year) the vines are loaded. The lemon tree is even considering speaking to me again! The fish hate me.. i kept the pretty ones in the house the rest went on a trash can on the porch. I cram in the water hose and stir up the poo and dip the watering can in and water my lovlies. Got the Malabar spinach to grow this time. Going to transplant it to it's new space tonight. If I shade the squash it just might live. Next year will be better! Yay!

Congrats! I love getting the first things that start succeeding. Really gives a chance to get momentum going. It’s especially satisfying if it’s a totally new technique. For me this year it was a hugel bed. Have gotten 100s of squash off that thing this year

I want to go "whole Hogg" but hubby says no to chickens and rabbits (1 he's too soft hearted to kill them 2 we have coyotes and skunks in the yard ..Says this endangers the dogs....). But I can have them when we move to Texas.... ( I thinks ta meself...Ummm Texas has coyotes and skunks..... ) City boys I don't understand the twisted logic. He doesn't understand his dogs I'll have a little yard and the chickens will be free and rabbits will be tractored or have their own bare ground pen and garden!.  Oh I do have plans... The more I read here the more ideas  I get. In fact I just changed the must haves list for our new house, Central fireplace for a rocket mass later. Man does that cut down on the housing choices but it will be worth it.
