Last week while walking the dogs listening to some podcast I wasn’t paying attention to the environment and one of the dogs startled the bird and it flew right into my arms. 😂 it scared the shit out of me. That’s when I thought I could catch these things with some kind of net or a blanket.

I don’t know if this is true but I read somewhere that in some place in some time there was a tradition of selecting a king for a year, the “winner” would get all manner of luxury and privilege.  At the end of that year the people in ritualistic fashion sacrificed him. I don’t remember if they beheaded him or burnt him, but they murdered him nonetheless. Sometimes I think the charade of elections is the compromise “we” have come to.

It’s good mushroom. Great in ramen. Here it grows under shore pines in sandy soil. They also grow in the mountains.

I have a couple of pots on the patio of Egyptian walking onion that are about 7 years old they get watered every day with spent coffee grounds. They are big, healthy plants. I don’t know what that says. But I’m not worried about coffee in the garden.

Everything effects everything, temperature differential might have an impact on flavor. Hot water hitting a colder bean. 🤷🏻♂ I don’t nerd out on coffee but i do play around with all the parameters. The problem is I never do the same thing twice unless I am using a machine.

I make something similar. It is tasty.  You can also short ferment it for a couple days and it becomes even better.


Sounds healthy.
In contrast, I eat a ridiculous amount of vegetables, a good amount of fruit and as much protein as a carnivore. Plus pizza every week because that is called balance. 🤣


I just watched a video by skill cult on YouTube showing how he is thinking of setting one up. It’s got me thinking now.

Look at the language ‘master’, ‘gives’, all concepts of separation. Dao is just wholeness the thing that can never be described because of its completeness.

So sore! My hamstrings and back were the only two muscles that weren’t already sore. Now everything is so fatigued. I could barely walk up the hill. When you work out everyday you have to find novel ways and exercises. That is what I like so much about this challenge. I have added so many new exercises this month that have really paid off. I think the biggest benefit has been my funky left shoulder, it is really improving. I’m starting to believe I might be able to get it back to 100.

Airscape lid on Amazon


I like Ancona ducks


When filling the bucket every couple inches of scrapes sprinkle some bran. The tricky part is just like sauerkraut you have to make sure air does not make contact with the scraps or mold will form. What you want to see is just a white “mold” form. You can use a plastic bag and some kind of weight. I got tired of that and I bought one of those lids for a five gallon bucket that has rubber sides creating an air tight seal.


Basically bokashi is just pickling. Predigesting the scrapes making it easily digestible for the soil organisms. Simple process, pickle food scrapes then trench compost.


Make sure the is no air contact on the surface.

This is how do I get ride of tomatoes because I didn’t have the heart to pull perfectly good plants still producing.


I grew these for the first time this year. I didn’t think they were going to ripen, but they are coming on strong now, Habanada peppers. They blew my mind, all the flavor of a habanero with no heat or very little. They are so good. I don’t know if there is a better tasting pepper, my opinion of course. I like hot stuff as well, but you can get so much more pepper flavor out of these without the overwhelming fire. And if you need a little heat add it.

45 minutes mace work. I’m convinced.  I am going to do #31days forever. Maybe an occasional day off.


Great day!


It takes longer, but I like how the whole ones look. If the peppers are thick I find you have to cut them in half.


Every body is different but I would say the biggest annoyance is the screws irritating the skin when you start working out again. That lessens but doesn’t fully go away. In the beginning it freaked me out because I thought I might be fucking myself up by lifting weights.


It’s disgusting. And makes me so sad.


When they do the incision there are a bunch of tiny nerves that can get severed.

Beautiful potatoes!


Spider season. They are taking over.


I think you will still be good. I try to get them in early because when the rain starts here for real they do not hold up well. They over winter in my climate but start to rot by mid November.


What I noticed is that even if I’m dragging to start. My body has become accustomed to the work and another gear just kicks in. When I am done, I usually think, I don’t know how I just did that. I didn’t think I had that much energy, but I guess I did.


I’ve noticed my endurance has gone through the roof.


Nice!


I do, I compost everything. I wait until all of the summer crops are out then I make a big pile with the chicken bedding.


I don’t do anything special. I cage/ stake. I usually leave 2 or 3 vines per plant. I space 3ft apart in zigzag fashion (two rows) in a 4 by 25 ft bed 15 or 16 plants per bed. I grow a mix of determinates and indeterminates . I like to grow a lot of Russian varieties, they do best in my climate.

I did a saladette tomato trial this year. This is the winner. Plants are loaded with tomatoes. My estimation is 20lbs of fruit per plant. Zero blossom end rot and holds for weeks on and off the plant. It isn’t the most flavorful fresh, but it slow roasts down to candy.

Our motto around here is put an egg on it.


Cooking some up right now in some leftover pizza sauce.


I generally just fry sunny side up style served with some kind of hot sauce. I also do omelettes every so often. I generally cook eggs as a first meal, making sure I get enough protein for the day. I have no proof but I think they raise testosterone.


I eat 8 to 10 eggs a day.


It’s definitely the black pill view.


First a revolution, then a businesses, then a racket.
It just seems to be how humans work.

Hey, but there is always a revolution around the corner.

I’m no expert but I think the yield comes from real productivity.

In the end, we all succumb to utopian thinking when we want something to happen.  And we always want shit to happen.

In the end I see both sides, two utopians who think they are too smart to be utopians disagreeing about whose utopian picture is more realistic.

You can do cleans with a barbell. Or kettle bells.


That sucks! 🥲


Me too! I’ve gotten so many unique varieties from them.


So many books scare people from saving seed because of distances and purity. Just save seed, you will be happy.


I had enough zucchini! They are still pumping strong, But I think I’ve eaten my weight in them this season. I Pulled and am putting down a cover crop. By the way, if any body wants a summer squash that is vining and will keep pumping out delicious squash until frost, never letting up and is drought tolerant I highly recommend ‘Homs Kousa’ squash, experimental farm network sells the seed. I Highly recommend.

I like them. They are difficult. You really have to engage the core to stabilize. I thought the rows were going to be a breeze but they beat me up pretty good. Dips on rings are nothing like at a dip station or on parallel bars, they are next level difficult. I can add substantial weight doing dips the regular way. Forget about it on the rings. 12 to 15 body weight is my max.

So depressing. I can only laugh because I can’t really deal with it.


Ha! It is actually your fault😆 if you wouldn’t have recommended the Mike Benz episode on Tucker, I wouldn’t have listened to the Daryl Cooper episode which led me to his podcast. now I am listening to 51/2 hours on Epstein and the international pedophile and sex trafficking rings that are world “leaders” seem to be heavily involved in. 🤷🏻♂


It is funny the wife and I were having a discussion about this same topic over coffee this morning and why are there so many pedophiles! 😭🤣


I don’t know if you are in danger of frost. But if you give the squash more time on the vine the flavor will develop more and it will keep better.

I’ve never thought of that. lol! I’ll put half in jars and see if I notice. I guess I just do bags because the dehydrator is in the barn/garage which is 500 ft from the house. It just easy to carry the bags.


I was just thinking that they might have a good handy calendar to help guide sowings. I’m a learn things on your type.


Local garden authors, university extension services, local master gardener website. Trial and error. Local seed companies also usually have seed planting windows with their catalogs.

It has been a long time since I have read or listened to him. I don’t think it’s there in his books, but maybe in his talks. At the very least, he attracted a lot of progressive followers and it is where I believe the movement has lead. He in actuality is probably an anarcho/leftist. But look at the movement, it became MAPS petitioning the government for legality where institutions have to be built to facilitate the meeting the machine elves. 🤣

Powdery mildew is taking over the winter squash bed but that is ok, the stems are nice and corky. I am really excited about one of the landrace varieties that I purchased seed from. The farm is in Virginia which is a completely different climate. I thought there was little chance that it would ripen here in western Washington, but to my surprise it was the first to do so.

I think at these levels they are playing big boy existential games, (Our lives are the chips). Most of them are consequentialist, quid pro quo, do a little “evil” while believing it’s for the greater good and it might be. Some call this realists. I think these people think this is what best for “us.” I think there is a totalitarian in all of us, It’s the human condition, most of us never really get chance to express it on any scale. But who knows. I’m not certain of much. I just like to read and I’m probably too dumb to know that I shouldn’t be reading it. For every analysis out there, there seems to be a counter one.  Will see how it all turns out. One thing I’m sure of is no one is going to satisfied.

I think that is why they use all the soft obfuscating language. Here is a legit question, (thinking of Louis C K. Joke in which the gist of it goes something like how do you get the great human achievements, (pyramids, railroads etc, you name it.)You throw near infinite human suffering at it! Is this the case here? Of course we resist to the fullest extent. But? Also, I don’t know of course, but my suspicion is Elon is leveraging x to get a prime place in the hierarchy of this energy game. I cringe at the hero worship of him and makes me very suspicious of the people who praise him.


Excellent nuts and bolts episode. To some extent it does seem the end game is global energy supremacy and the vision of what that brings. I could make the case from their perspective you don’t want a bunch of retards to fuck that up, so we need to put the kabash on this talkie thing. 😂


It’s a good metric. I remember in August every year the high way filled with the latest models.


What’s the end game? Sometimes I wonder to play devils advocate, on the Kardashev Scale I believe we are still a type 0 civilization. Whenever I have heard of explanations on how to get to a type 1 or higher it sounds like an everybody on board type totalitarianism. In order to get the point we can control the planetary energy.


I think we have one more warm spell this week and then I think fall starts around here. I am ready.

I saw the picks the corn looked good. You just let them go too long. I like to feel the ears to see if they are filled out. If so I just shuck and eat in the field. When they start tasting the way i like I harvest them all. That’s what I don’t like about sweet corn unless you have a big family. It’s such a short window for good eating.


The same until the end.  Sweet you have to time when it’s at the perfect tender sweet stage. Dry corn you just forget about until everything is dying back. The only issue is if you get late summer rains or fall rain, that can ruin the crop.


I’ll have one of those!


Yes. Have to try it. But if I like the taste I think it will be my go to.


The variety I like the best is called yellow cabbage collard. I can plant in the spring it gets huge leaves they stay tender and are sweet for a brassica even in the summer, don’t bolt and last through my winters. Chard doesn’t die in our winters but gets rots with all the rain.


Chard use to be my go to cooking green, still like them, but collards the last few years have replaced them.


I’m already feeling better. Just body weight exercises this week. Nothing crazy. Wife has yelled at me multiple times. I got the message. I’m the type who can’t sit still.


First time growing this variety. So far really happy with it.

My soil is sand/rock. In one year not too much of a difference. But I really noticed my soil structure improving each year after that. It now is starting to hold together.

I think especially with sand bio char aids this whole process, if you have the material to create it.

Nice thing about chanterelles in PNW they don’t get buggy.


Went mushroom picking this morning found a few pounds of white chanterelles.

That’s good!


It is kinda nice. Saw a few chanterelles in the woods. But I need a few more weeks of dry weather for the corn and the beans.

Sorry, I thought we were doing the blanket statement thing. “Can’t trust the rich.” Of course there are exceptions to every thing. I was just expressing a sentiment. They have to come out and mingle and do the song and dance charade for a bunch of nobodies.


Personally?


All politicians hate all of us.


Stunning


Decent looking pie.


Doing posterior chain/anterior chain split? nice!


I like it. Nice coop.


It is what I am doing. I am in the fortunate position that all the plants are healthy, Productive and tasty. In addition I would not say it was a particularly favorable year for melons here. It is kinda what I’ve been working towards for 4 years. And it’s hard to believe the selection is largely based on taste and size. But I do save seeds from every plant just in case I want to go back to it.


I’ve always hated snitches. Fucking hall monitors. Yuck!


I go back in forth now with methods, but I think I slightly prefer sowing them in rows in flats. About 4 or 5 rows and several seeds per inch. Then when ready I just scoop out in chunks and stick in the ground. Onions are pretty resilient. Sometimes I just drop the small starts I do not want to plant on the ground, come back a week later and they have rooted and are growing.


When I was a kid it was fun catching bullheads in those water holes.


Saturday there might be snow in the cascades and some places east of the cascades first frost (low lands) crazy


Ya it was great, a lot of good movies came out in the late 90’s


The medium ones for some reason are just a tad bit sweeter. I think that is where the genetics wants to go because I am getting about 75 percent medium. And the plants that produce those seem healthier and more prolific. About half are cantaloupe orange and 1/2 are green like a honey dew.


Loved them all!


Too kind. 🙏


It was. Especially garlic for me. I like to grow my onions in clusters of 3. That way they stay medium size but I get an overall larger total yield.


Agree, but catch in the discipline.


All of these came from the same mother. I am having a hard time selecting this year they are all delicious. Basically just not saving seed from the real small ones.

They are a pain to try to grow. Basically you need high organic, but poor soil conditions. Think recently cleared forest. They are abundant along the coastal forest all the way down to California I believe.

Fresh drop! I was getting worried I wasn’t going to get another one it had been awhile.  I got spoiled by Covid I had drop coming almost monthly.


Definitely makes it easier separating seed. I always thought there was some kind of inhibitor in the gel sac. 🤷🏻♂


I do. Usually it takes 5 to 7 days. When the seeds drop to the bottom and I don’t see much “gel” around them They are ready. But I have had no problem with germination even if I’m too early. Makes me really wonder if the fermentation is even necessary.


Leg day is not gonna help that! 🤣


Not sure. Everything about them says you are going to love this. I take bite, and I’m underwhelmed.


I like meat pies.


All pies. 🤷🏻♂


Yield curve, inflation, BLS, and M2 money supply, nope! This is metric I’m focused on.

I don’t like pie but that crust is mighty tempting.


Yep!


Yummy tummy!


I’ve noticed with thick cut steaks 1/2 thawed using my methods (intuitive) turn out the best according to me.


That’s a good reason.


Funny.  I am listening to the hobbit before bed. Great reader. It works like a charm. I can’t last ten minutes before  I am fast asleep.

I still think it went all wrong with the helmets. 😆


I didn’t grow it this year, I’m disappointed. I’m try 10 fingers of Naples. I’ve only got a few so far.


Sheboygan are one of my favorites.


Very nice! How tall do you make yours? You left the pipes in?


Why does anyone care who mutes who?


Looks real good!


28 rocket pop. Go to as a kid.


Yum!


That’s pretty good.


I am lucky where I live. We have so many wild type of berries that proliferate. This is evergreen huckleberry they are ripening now but the great thing about this berry is they stay on the vine until at least December and they get better after a frost. I love to make a sauce with these that goes great on salmon. I’ve made ice cream with them. I’ve flavored mead also. This is one of the many reasons why I don’t mess with many of the permaculture shrub recommendations. Most of them are simply just massively inferior to the wild berry species that grow readily under nearly every pine around here.

If you get into seed saving. I politely suggest Joseph Lofthouse’s book landrace gardening. I found it to be much more approachable than most.


Sometimes, but usually not, i just figure with so many cooking resources out there, it’s not worth the effort. Also, cooking from the garden is kinda hard to translate into recipes. In comparison to standard recipes I can use so much more of an ingredient because it’s there in such quantity.


Been there.


Fuck!


Starting the process of tomato seed saving.

I’m interested in where you are going place your goji’s I have 6 plants in pots   And not sure how they behave. They seem to grow like crazy.


Two ways, in compost tea to make it go furtherAnd because it is the biology that makes it so great. I like to also add bit to the transplant holes. I think from trail and error transplants do better with a little bit of worm castings.


Morning! Looks delicious!


Great stuff!


If I go to a nursery this when I do it, sometimes the prices even drop further in fall when the plants look like shit and they need to get rid of their inventory.


Perfection. I have to up mushroom growing game.


Agree


Cacti are the so beautiful.


It’s a beautiful corn! Last year I had a good harvest of flint but I didn’t do a good enough of a dry down before putting it in a bucket. Lost 5 gallons of seed to mold.


Raspberry pick for the day 1pound 6 ounces. I get about that every other day. It is a 30 foot bed. I’m on week three of picking, my guess from what is on there probably have two more good weeks. After that a significant decline in the pickings. What I wonder is this good amount to expect? Anyways, I am expending the row to 60 feet for next year. Started working on it today. Fall might be early. If we get another good rain mushroom season is going to be excellent. I will do some scouting next week. I bet the lobsters will be starting.

Ha!


Have not read da Vinci code, last temptation of Christ, and power.


Can’t wait for the season to start here. We just need it to rain.


Good size bulbs


Thanks!


My big challenge is blossom end rot. Sandy soil + cool nights. Slowly over the years I’m starting to find the varieties that work for me. Mostly Russian tomatoes and they also happen to be in my opinion some of the tastiest types.


But next year you will


We figured out we go through 700 hundred pounds of tomatoes a year.


Anaheim


I hope you get some more flowers than fruit. Maybe they just take a long time.

I decided not to go with surgery when I heard the statistics. I’m glade. The knee still gets a little funky when sitting on them, but doing pretty good overall. I walk backwards up a hill everyday. I also do slant board stuff.


Ya. You’ll fully recover but for me the plate is a little annoying


It does it’s how I recovered from a meniscus tear last summer


Happened to me several years ago. Are you going with surgery or not? I did the surgery.

Similar, but I stopped listening to music because I hate the feeling of nostalgia.


Funny my shoulder is recked from doing kettle bell clean and presses. But I got a funky left shoulder. It’s been that way for ages. I do every type of mobility the internet has to offer. It’s better but still have to be careful.


Beautiful!


Agree when put that way


If it’s mutual it works.


Can’t be happy with a ball buster.


I read it in book years ago about emergency preparedness. Not my idea. It just talked about ways of using emergency supplies to keep fresh.


Ya, and use that water when you want to boil things then refill. Saves some time and energy to boil from room temp.


Ya, and it’s getting easier to do this performance. Which might be one of I don’t even how many reasons so many things seems to be in a state of atrophy. It’s time to compost this carcass.


Kill a coyote get even more coyotes, that’s what all the tipping is about every night. They are taking roll call.

Love it!


Deer are a nuisance, but I also love them and eat them. I grow large patches of kale that I protect until it gets big enough for them to eat.

They know what they are doing. I end up buying way too much seed.

Potato, leeks, parsnips. You can really do almost anything. Cabbage might be my favorite gratin.


I have a few varieties this year that have purple in them or black. They are tricky figuring out when ripe. I have one that is completely black, and it’s been that way for weeks.


She will laugh and before you know it she will smell the rocks too. It will probably be her that discovers it.


What I’m baffled by is chaga. I’m not sure if the black mass I see on the Douglas first is just healed over wounds or chaga. I have chewed on some of it, but still uncertain.


When I’m out looking for mushrooms with the wife she is going to get a kick out of me smelling the rocks.


What are we looking for? Is it just oozing out of rock.


What are the yellow with the purple tops? They are pretty.


Chicken shit is the shit. Tons of calcium and phosphorus.


My wife is more like I told you we should have taken that loan out. 😆


I love gratins. I tend to go more for the winter ones.


I think they lessen over time and change as the soil improves. For me spring weeds are more tenacious than summer weeds. It’s like everything they go overboard with their expert claims trying either to sell a product or their services. You know the shill,“ no more pests ever.” “No more weeds.” “The biggest, the best and the most nutrient dense crop ever.”

How about, “get mineral profile balanced, try to improve biological practices and you will be surprised at how successful your garden can be.”


Looks good though


Grass or perennial cover crop mix would be great. Mow it every so often shooting the cover crop onto the growing beds effectively fertilizing them. I am going to experiment with that method in another area. No matter what anybody says weeds will always be an issue. There also is no way around hard work. It’s kinda like the sowell quote no solutions only trade offs.
