Why am i just learning about #vexl now? It enables a network of p2p bitcoiners. Does not fiscilitate trades at all but rather just connects bitcoiners interested in potentially swapping cash and bitcoin. This is very cool but it needs more eyes on it to grow the network. nostr:npub1mftv2j67vayavkks8rqev3u8jjhefe86tf80msstfxvpunk9vmps6prkl3
Also they love salamanders and frogs
Oh the sounds they make when a hen had a mice it cant swallow
Yeah decentralization is probably a good idea with ginseng.
Ginseng on its second season and growing well!

Planted this ginseng from seed on the north side of my house in summer of 2022 by broad forking a bed and digging furrows. Covered the seed with woodchip mulch.

It sprouted in spring of 2023, I thought it didn't take because I planted it so late. I was surprised when I ended up getting excellent germination. Now I have to figure out when it's ready for transplanting.

Ginseng is a perennial grown for its root, which has medical uses. It takes many years to mature and is slow growing. It is a high value crop and if managed properly can provide value from shady marginal areas.

Neat. Ginseng is commercially grown here. It is fumigated heavily due to a number of poorly understood pathogenetic fungi aka replant disease complex. Fields used to grow ginseng are used only once, due to a build up of the "disease". Keep us updated!
when i find Ken, i will let him know. Now show us your planty plants!
What inside the Mudwasp nest😮 https://video.nostr.build/989cd59520aa1a9077c2a738f59ed8e0ac7feab2cb183bb5fa637df0f076aef5.mp4
Lots of wasps are caterpillar predators too. I have an old video where i recorded a threadwaisted wasp pulling a caterpillar down a sand burrow and along comes a fly and divebombs several eggs down the burrow. Presumably the fly eggs hatch before the wasps eggs and the fly wins the prize.
Looks like leek moth damage
We never will, but we wont stop trying!
Walk on the wild side
Winter squash or beans. For cover crop id try mung bean with sudan sorghum or whatever annual you have extra seed of... use it up
Arugula comes in 2 different species, common arugula and wild arugula aka perrennial wall rocket. They can not interbreed as far as i know. The former (2nd pic) is mild while the latter (1st pic) is more bold and peppery. common arugula has white to creamy yellow flowers while wild arugula has bright yellow flowers. Both attract loads of pollinators. Which is your fav??? #homesteading #seedsaving #arugula #garden #gardening
