    where we end up,what we achieve to be ..and how we'll get there...

    The other day i was out in the yard working in our garden. I had just got done messing with the chicks and wife unit was trimming lettuce ,harvesting some peas. So im in this section of the garden that kinda just exploded with everything. My fault really.
    See im one of those I WANT IT now types , at times. So i planted seeds ( old ones we had mind you) and then 3 weeks go by and i replant older seeds again...and then i get the idea that hey lets add some compost. So there's this 8x8ft section thats looks like im somewhere in Laos doing some " O and I " ;) So im fighting my way thru some mater plants,,getting poked in the face by the tomatillias that came thru..trying not to step on beans while trying to see what the heck kind of sqaush is trying to grow under all that mess. Then my wife starts laughing.. Im doing my best twister moves to not fall or squash anything and i ask " what's so funny.."
    " you remind me of (opsec deleted)".
    So i pause,.and i think,,no..im way better looking....so thats not it ;P and i slowly back step out of the jungle trying not to step on anything.
    I stand there for a second and think and go " whatever".
    See i had this big over grown mess of awesomeness. She had seen such before..at said buddies place long ago..and his planting methods..
    i smiled ,,laughed and said well..it worked for him didnt it!

    i just got done an hour ago adding another 100+sq ft to the garden...built 1/2 a deep raised bed ( i ran outta screws) ...and tilled by hand another section to be planted tomorrow night .

    Years ago i didnt have any of this..."mess" to worry about....
    .progression....

    it all takes time but with out progression in all aspects of our lives where do we end up..no where imho.

    so...thanks to that seed throwing,Ak dropping buddy who i look back on for a smile and inspiration of what can be done if you try ...:cool:

    Then come the bugs, the blight, and the diseases... :eek:

    I know I better be getting a greener thumb soon... It has only been half a decade now!

    I am much better fixing and fabricating things than growing things... LOL!

      "Your puny capitalist fire cannot harm this wonderful work of communist might!" LMAO

      I can't pick that one up now without thinking of that time.

      Congrats on the place bro, thread needs some pics though ;)

          Good job and I'll second the Admin. Nothing inspires me more than seeing what others are accomplishing around the homestead!

            ok just some pics of the main garden...shows the add ons etc the wife/kids flower garden across the porch...and met "rex" the rooster lol.

            we wanted to ramp up on stuff we could "store" vs graze like we do now. dont get me wrong i eat fresh greens at lunch each day, but we wanted bulk. the hay bail has some taters growing in front of it. we'll put another raised bed there in the fall. the zucks are over grown crazy things.. thats what left of our winter stuff(lettuce,cabbage,spinach) ..next week or so it'll get yanked and we'll plant more lettuce and maybe lima beans. the raised bed(big one) we'll do carrots,, last try we got a ton but they were all midget muscle men carrots lol.

            you can also see some of our pepper plants etc by the chicken barn...its all jungle behind that,,our compost pile and " nature trail is back there as well. the fence is just a barrier for the dog and critters.
