Pre-Weekend News Mishmash 29 March 2012

March 30, 2012 by db

FWIW, I’ve added a “Calendars” page subsection (find it near the top of the page)with a diary-style log of what I’m doing in my garden, and with my livestock. This is partly to let me keep track of what I’ve done, and partly to allow you to understand how little it actually takes to get […]

“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” or “Be Prepared!”

March 29, 2012 by db

“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” This was a line of a conversation with a long-time friend. And a line I hear from LOTS of folks. And it bothers me. Not because I think I will have a house full if things “go to pot”, but because

Volunteers or, “Free food you weren’t expecting”

March 22, 2012 by db

I’ve been working at gardening in my back yard for almost two years now, and I’m guilty of a bad habit. From time to time, I’ll take seeds and randomly scatter them across the yard to see what happens. Most of them either decompose, or get eaten by one of my foraging birds, but occasionally, […]

My next project: Canned mullet (Part 2, The Execution)

March 19, 2012 by db

(See part 1 here) I had the day free, so I went surf fishing. Subconsciously, I’m positive it was just an excuse to go catch some mullet, since I never bring a castnet to the surf…yet today I had one. Good thing, I was catching
