Many things have been learned and many things have been forgotten over these past 10 years.
Remember that flowers still bloom, worms still have to eat & it’s gotten hotter n fresh poo.
We need solutions now more than ever.
Keep counting those simple blessings & remember.
Seed saving.
Yard eating.
Soil makin.

Making time with plants, soil and being aware of their substance, will take you to another level of relaxation.

These are a few of my Sempervivum tectorum (hen and chicks). They make me happy because they have so many unique details in their individual plant clusters. They are extremely hardy and have a strong drought resistance. The container that they are in was made from old heat treated pallet wood from one of my decommissioned compost bins (non treated wood). And because my focus is on compost and food, the plump leaves of this succulent are edible raw. Go easy at first to avoid a upset stomach.

Having a greenhouse at home is a definite blessing. Season extension is one. We planted these tomatoes from cuttings in a 15 gallon bucket in September. The 4 plants are now 7+ feet tall, bearing flowers and fruits. We should probably begin eating tasty, soil (compost) grown heirloom tomatoes in mid January or sooner. A important FYI for you… when you see the flowers, it’s important to pollinate those flowers. Pollinators don’t go in the greenhouse this time of year and if you want fruits, you gotta help the plant and act like a bee.
