So the Beast from the East 2.0 has come and gone, according to the media; it got a bit scary back there for all 30+ hrs or so...
So today for me it its all back on track, so after grooming the cats, and doing (the real) horticultural work,
I am going to be planting seeds, I'm trying some wild lettuce, as I recently read an interesting article, claiming it was more effective than opium against pain - I'm gonna give that a trial this year, along with some other medicinal plants that I've read about., I got some 'medicinal heirloom'seeds from an outfit in India!! so we'll see...!
I got my S.O. (significant other) to build a HugelKulture last October, (poor thing it nearly killed em)
So I guess I'd better get down to (
Funny Fuck Farm as I call the plot we've got down at) the allotment, and (or at least appear, like I am making a) start. To be fair though, I did put some Walking Onions in the base of the hugelkuture bed, around the end of November, but I ain't seen anything yet?
However, I gotta say the no-dig beds are looking the business, they've shrank from about eighteen inches in height, over the last few months, right down to a couple of inches. We're planting potatoes soon using the No -dig style, i.e we're just going to fling the potatoes on the ground and cover them with straw (fuck that trench digging malarky)!
As we're the only ones down there growing this way, its raising a few eyebrows, lol! I gotta say it's an eye opener watching the old salts and the traditional's, toiling away, digging away for days and then complaining of back ache and the like, meanwhile I, or should I say we, have just been dumping leaves, straw and manure (from our chooks) on the beds and leaving it to become incorporated!! Funny how that approach can bring out the haters!
Anyway my goal this year apart from the harvest, (in particular the herb harvest,) is the Beekeeping 'honey' harvest, I've gotta couple of hives raring to go, and my little apiary is all set up, so just waiting for a swarm, cos I ain't freaking buying them
.... Fuck that, oops sorry wrong page!
Sorry for going off on a blah blah, but just wanted folks to be aware that 'little gentle' Trypsy Summers ain't all about fuck the system and sounding off about stuff, my default is just being
a warrior(ess) tending crops, as opposed to being a gardener going off to make war
Not saying, just saying, without saying
Enjoy your day
Pure Peace
