Biography
Joy discovered Permaculture in 2015. Thanks, Paul! And suddenly the vast expanse of grass began to shrink. Her hubby is appreciative, as mowing is not fun for her guy.
Joy is designing her permaculture paradise from the edges. Fumbling and stumbling all the way. She successfully grows weeds and a few fruits and veggies in the humid Mid-south.

It's not your Internet speed. It is Google strategy.

I am relieved that my 'plan' meets with your approval! 😁😁😁😁
Apparently this year's plan is throw some seed in random areas and hope for the best.
This year, my yard is giving me conflicting information. My established  Apios americana is 9 inches tall before perilla tells me it's time to plant. I had to SEARCH to find this single perilla this age. Both photos from today. (And for some reason I look at my post again to find a second perilla in the pic!)

What I call buttered ramen. Basic dish: Cook the ramen noodles, drain. I use 6 pkgs for 3 adults. We like this meal, and over eat. Put 2 sticks of butter in the drained noodles to melt. This works faster if the sticks have been quartered lengthwise. Stir in 3 of the seasoning packets. Add whatever leftover chopped meat you have. Plate it up, top with grated Parmesan and hot pepper flakes to taste.

This time I added ham, sauteed onions sweet peppers and nettles.

Our nearby Habitat for Humanity Restore keeps getting new acacia butcher block counters in stock. Looks very nice.

What kind of care would such a counter require?
Do you have butcher block counters?
Do you like them?
Is this price a bargain? It has stayed pretty consistent for many months.

So, I have water damage in my kitchen. A remodel will be happening. At some point. Here, I sak about counters.

What are your counters made of? What are your thoughts their pros and cons?

I am trying to learn planting by what nature is growing. Here is a thread on the subject, phenology.

The problem is, not all regions have the same order of sprouting, blooming, growing. Here, I have found that I can plant frost tender seeds, transplants when perilla's second set of true leaves arrive.
