Our daughter has a feed and seed store on our farm and sells produce also! I'm getting Too Old for This!
Garden started appearing 3 days ago. Suppose to be hitting the 50's for the next week. Have tomatoes and peppers plants under the lights about n3 inches tall.
Here in midwest have freeze warning, for tonight. So will cover peas, radishes, and onions. have plastic milk cartons over bedding plants. hope this is last frost.
Time to let your daughter do the big-scale field stuff, and you do the fun stuff. I try to limit my plantings to what will be fun and easily usable. It's nice not to have to fire up the tractor to do tilling, and to be able to carry my daily harvest during the summer in a couple of hand-carried bags. I could never do that when I had a huge garden, plus I had to dress appropriately for doing mechanized farming. I like being able to go out there nude or dressed minimally when the sun is not beating down on me, especially in the mornings and evenings. That minimalism and lack of mechanical noise makes me feel connected to a long history of humans being much more connected to the earth than to the virtual world.
Been having the urge to try some dryland rice lately but everyone's out of stock. May just try sprouting some from sprouts market and do a kiddie pool paddy if I get bored enough
Yes, that day and most other days are garden nude days for me. My garden is in a secluded area, so I don't need to worry about the reactions of other humans. Humans are the only species I know of that have any reservations about nudity. The quail, lizards, songbirds, rabbits, and insects never give it a second thought. Evenings are good right now, but pretty early mornings will allow me to go directly from my bed to the garden without bothering with the dressing ritual. It's nice to feel embraced by the natural world, rather than at odds with it, especially first thing in the morning.
Yes I Love my early Morning walks, I enjoy walking under the Stars and talking with my Lord! ❤! May 7th is also our 47th anniversary! ❤! I enjoy helping our daughter with her feed and seed store and chatting with all of the customers,. Have a Great day! ❤
