How it's planting season (now that the hottest time of the year is behind us)!
I know that many of you are wearing jackets ... or seeing snow for the first time since last winter ... or looking at trees with falling leaves ... or harvesting seasonal items ... but not down here where the temps are always warm and the sun is always shining.
And that's why the "dead" section of the back yard at ye olde homestead (just beyond what will one day be a firepit area and just under the avocado tree) is now a raised garden bed with some various tomato and zucchini options for a little experiment (sadly, the nursery did not have any bacon or mulch plants ... so ... you know .. that's a missed opportunity in light of how much of each of those this household consumes). After all, living apocalypse adjacent as we all do means that you have to consider being able to support yourself when the zombies attack and/or the Tea Party gets elected and/or the Democrats take all the guns and/or the terrorists kill the electric grid and/or the monkeys rise up to rule, etc etc.
In lieu of the traditional companion links that accompany these daily posts, I'll add a few "before" and "during" photos to go with this "after" shot. Keep an eye out for the helpers with this task AND for the all natural-pesticide solution (that creature, probably about as big as my ear [and I have the big old ears of my paternal family line]) is actually in the foliage directly above the garden).
If all goes well ... holiday visitors will get tomatoes for gifts!
