Papaya with anthracnose. It produced 12 papayas last year but didn't set any flowers, maybe it will fruit every other year.

Dragon fruit. This one is probably overripe. The one I picked a few weeks ago tasted like lychee. I do have a lychee tree but it hasn't flowered yet.

This is an all metal homemade raised bed, no wood. With shade cloth in the summer I can grow lettuce even when it's warm.
View attachment 3083358
This is the main veggie garden with 13 3x3 plots. I did a variant of square foot gardening (mostly for crop rotation purposes) since so much of the garden is in raised beds or terraces.

Solyent Green is a movie from 1973 that is set in the future, 2022 to be exact.. just “FOOD” for thought.. haha.. everyone should watch it.. SENOMYX is the gubment sponsored corporation that’s making it all happen.. and they are ramping up production once again.. they have plenty of “product”.. just seeing everyone talking about shortages or bare shelves, just wait.. it gets worse, much worse.. get on the bus Gus, get on the train, Jane...

Yeah, they kinda look like jerks and bullies, but they are handsome. The cardinals are the real treat. I wish we had them and fireflies here.

I was enjoying watching our week and a half old chicks trying to dust-bath in the shavings in the brooder. I'll have to fix a sandy place outside for them to start getting used to the outdoors soon.

We put our grow-outs in the outside tractor at around 5 weeks (or when their mom looks like her head will explode if they stay with her any longer) and those little fluffballs start jumping and skipping around in the grass immediately.


At this point, if we didn't already have rabbits and chickens we'd be getting them.

THIS! We currently have too many chicks and hatching eggs but I'm not too worried as any extras are going in the freezer. I still have vague plans to use a low raised bed that's just weeds, into a cornish cross pen.


I too was pleasantly surprised with my last feed run, the prices are crazy high but no higher than they were a couple of weeks ago so yay? :idunno


That is one of my favorite kinds of day, when DP and I spend the day fishing. Good luck to you!

So on our walk this morning, we found a dead easter egger by the side of the road. I know that the lady who lives on the property lets her birds wander around again (she kept them penned when she had mink problems) and since we live in a small town she's risking their deaths by 50 different causes (including cars, dogs, hawks, . But I felt bad and picked it up, put it in one of the bags I carry for dog doots, and placed it on top of her trash can. When I got home I sent her a facebook message and she told me that she knew and was sure it was her neighbor's fault. That she had found it dead in in her greenhouse and she moved it to the roadside to shame her neighbor. For her dead hen...that she lets free range in a town...that she found dead on her own property.

I do miss cardinals. I remember the last time I saw one. It was in a tree outside my bedroom window and I remember thinking it was probably cold because there was still snow on the ground. Many many moons ago!
