Summer harvests with bonus pie!

June 23, 2020June 23, 2020 ~ Homo neanderthalensis ~ 1 Comment

It's that time of year where the harvests are 90% squash and herbs, but that's ok. I'm very much looking forward to going back to work soon- if only so I can offload my squash bounty on coworkers.

Carrot bed finally sown

November 23, 2019 ~ Homo neanderthalensis ~ 6 Comments

G-d the carrot bed was depressing. Beautiful carrots all tasteless and dull. Well that's what happens when the bed is too depleted. Last year I had trouble with tiny little carrots and bushy tops- too much enrichment. This year it was the opposite. How about we aim for perfect sweet carrots 2k20? That means clearing … Continue reading Carrot bed finally sown
