Happy 4th of July!!!

I lucked out this winter and scored two free truck loads of
wood chips from the company clearing the electric wires.
I had some left that I got quite a few years ago, Ut us almost
like black dirt. just about two cubic yards of it. I have been
using it sparingly. now I can go ahead and splurge .

There’s nothing quite like a couple loads of wood chips to really bolster that feeling of prosperity!

Only a gardener would understand.

Hi, gardener and duck keeper in mid 50s here, from Europe. What a good thread. Reminds me of a book.. I think the title was, Surviving and thriving on the land. Specifically writing also about aging in place.

Anyway, here's our pride and joy, the quite early beefsteak tomato - Gallego is the cultivar name I believe, from 3 days ago. So early, so tasty, this is our new champion among the reds. (Negrillo de Almoguera is the top black one so it seems we have a thing for Spanish tomatos.)

(A friend's comment: dude, what a small fork.)
