A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

You may get a crop going if you broadcast rye onto the soil and then mow it really tight about 2 weeks before your first frost. That rye should germinate and continue to grow until the temps stay below 32. In the spring, that rye will come on so fast, it'll choke out most of your nitrogen using warm season weeds. Once you see a seed head, you can mow it off and plant into it.
Don't dream it - be it!

Currently I’m collecting, husking, cleaning & curing the abundant black walnuts on our land. I watched tons of videos to get the easiest methods but is this a labor of love! ♥️

Now I’m on to cracking the walnuts…the first one I tried wouldn’t even open w a small sledge hammer! Yikes! Another foraging labor of love!
