Storms 33°C / 91°FOnly 1 day of rain in over two months. Irrigation is keeping the main veg beds healthy, but I have nothing set up for the orchard except the rain barrels. No rain, no working rain barrels. Strawberry harvest is done, much smaller berries and yield than last year and I’m sure that has a lot ...

6 more lbs strawberries today. This year we are hulking and freezing all until end of harvest when jams will be processed at one time. Did I mention we have not purchased commercial jam in at least two years, maybe three? We are jam self-sufficient! Strawberries are small this year. Lesson learne...Cloudy 19°C / 66°F -

Storms 33°C / 92°FStill no rain here. At least half of the hot and paprika peppers I transplanted last week are in severe shock.

Sunny 10°C / 50°FMy fruit trees all flowered or are flowering a month early, which means all work started early. Seedlings are doing great. Need to start more herbs. I did 10 minutes of light cultivation with a stirrup hoe today and it didn’t blow out my shoulder. I’m getting stronger each day, just h...

Sunny 10°C / 50°FJulian, pointing out the overwintered plant I formerly identified as overwintered collards is actually broccoli. Thanks, kid! Second shot shows the real collards. #3: I ran over the road with my car dropping off the strawbales. Poor woad. #4: Scarred trunk of the Red Rome Beauty apple. This was h...
