Heres a post from months ago I was too lazy to hit “publish”.
This was a bad year for tomatoes at our house. I was generally so grossed out by the every fungus/blight/bug that I dont’ think I ate one that I enjoyed. Lately Morée slipped a few into various meals. Ends up they [...]

Garden Update
As you can see some things are growing more than others. This is the last of our onions and green beans. We got a ton of these Serrano chilies and its all from one plant. If you want some just ask but take head as they are hot hot hot. Pulled a couple peppers but [...]
Corn Earworm
This weekend we came across some unwanted tenants in the garden. I got some dudes trying to get free rent all up in my… corn. Corn Earworms

Some people scoff at that. Some people say we should support industry(Agribusiness) because its “American” [...]
Maters Support

We used the square foot method for planting [...]

Greens/Herbs Bed - It contains, Carrots, Kale, Spinach, Onions, Lettuce(Black Seeded Simpson, Butter Crunch), Parsley, Basil(two different types), Radishes.
The only reason the bed is not completely covered in greens is because we [...]
Mmm slugs
The kids like to play with bugs while we work in the garden. Oliver picked up this slug so I asked him to pretend like he was going to eat it. Come on! Its good for little boys!
Just a dude with a blog that probably shouldn't have one.
