I like to put a whole bunch of it down to keep the weeds down and to me it just looks nice.

I’m starting to save the leaves I rake again but I quit making compost because we rent and it looks bad sometimes.

I wish I could get rid of the crabgrass that drowns out my asparagus plants. No matter how high I stack the straw it just keeps coming back.

I bet even a foot of wood chips(Back to Eden)wouldn’t keep it from coming up.

I’m excited because I can grow garlic now.

I saved seeds from the red onion bulbs I planted so I can start those in hmm-February or March?

Maybe I’ll actually be able to grow decent onions.

Fresh, home grown garlic sure was nice.

I wish I could grow decent bell peppers.

I also saved seeds from the San Marzano tomato plants but I will need to set up a decent irrigation system and make sure they are well watered and fed. I read that that particular tomato is extremely prone to blossom end rot. It’s never been an issue until I got San Marzanos and I was just plagued with BER.

I almost yanked the darn things out of there I was so disgusted.

I made more soap today and there is a meat sale at my local grocer so I’ll have to get down there when the eagle screams and fire up the canner.

I should really can some more pinto beans and maybe some chili....
