Raking the leaves


My porch vines lost most of their leaves. So I rake them. But instead of putting them to the curve, I've mixed them in my squarefoot gardens. It'll mulch and compost on it's own making my dirt rich with organic materials. I wanted to get the leaves form strangers on trash day. But I worried about introducing new bugs around my house. So I'm only going to use the leaves from my lot and my neighbors. So besides work and going to the vet, this is what I did today ;) Have a great week everyone!

Harvesting


I've been having trouble continuing my blog these past few days....for reasons unknown. But what the heck I'll just write what comes to mind about this crazy adventure! For a while now I've been havesting....on a small scale.But as Fall approaches I'm starting to harvest my usual crop (courgettes, onions, beans) and new ones. Like tomatoes, carrots, radishes, spinach, lettuces....and soon I'll have a pumpkin! I only wish I had planted more tomatoes so I could've canned some for the winter. Well I have something to get exited for next year I guess. I mean...just have another look at the picture to the right. =) How can someone not get excited about all those beautiful, organically grown vegetables! here's a link to my video harvest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tpsP5qzvrU
