It would be preferred!

I have one prickly pear, but after getting too many thorns and spiky things stuck in my feet, I’m altogether done with pokey plants. They sure are a deterrent! But I’d rather not be deterred by my own property lol

GM nostr. Apparently my neighbors appreciate my flowers enough to cut them off for themselves. All they did was ruin the fun for everyone since the flowers don’t survive after they are cut…

Good idea for the roof! A surface coating of some nature will probably be in the future for the next iteration.

The next iteration definitely will. This one isn’t quite tall enough. 5’ at the peak.

I couldn’t justify the cost of a proper greenhouse, and couldn’t bring myself to waste money on a flimsy one, but I was tired of using my inadequate carport for plant starts. So with a little creativity and about $10, found pallets, and scrap wood, I built a quick test greenhouse in about an hour. It’s primary purpose will be for soil blocks since they cannot get rained on. If this “works”, I’ll spend a little more time on a proper one that my wife can enjoy instead of being repulsed by one of my creations.

The qualifications I needed for a greenhouse can be summarized by the following:

-keep rain off seedlings

-provide consistent light

-be open air so the temperature stays down (too hot most of the year for an enclosed greenhouse)

Let me know what you think and what I can improve!

What varieties do you grow up there?

Bummer! Usually if you trim them up while they are dormant they come back with a vengeance.

First figs coming in! One of my favorite times of year! #grownostr #puravida #plebchain

Yep, those can be freaky. Had a “weak” one hit my house a couple years back on Christmas Eve. Lost most of my trees and some kids toys, but at least we were safe and the house intact.

GM #nostr. Woke up to a nice little lightning show out the backyard this morning. Grab my #coffeechain and sit and watch. #puravida #grownostr https://nostr.build/av/2da0f011aec09fc194f431edadea120d49cb6d1d594894f534b4d95ff5f180d6.mov

Oofta… quite the list, but in this frame you can see persimmons, fig, pears, maple (for the climbing yams), peach, mulberry, various veggies and root crops and herbs.

GM #nostr. A fine #coffeechain day to you from the front yard food forest.

I made a little more in-depth video on the rainwater harvesting pond explaining its origins, it’s progressions, it’s benefits, and the life that is taking residence. I feel like I’m becoming a pond guy. It’s such a lovely place to hang out and watch life.

It’s a bummer that there are regulations for animals that help families and harm no one, but make allowances for dogs that bark at all hours (no hate on dogs, just making a point).

Agreed. Much better definition is the regulatory system

From a micro level, probably incompetence. From a macro level, probably malicious…

Here is an update on the cassava propagation progress.

I was in conversation yesterday evening regarding dogs and their weird presents they bring from yards, and it came up that my friends neighbor was using rat poison and it was killing the squirrels. It got me thinking about the injustice of our legal system. We are perfectly allowed to set out poisons for rodents, weeds, and insects leading to dreadful effects and deaths far beyond our original intent (In short, we are allowed to kill the local wildlife to keep our homes sanitized). But… we are not “allowed” to raise meat ethically, humanely, and safely for consumption within city limits. No… that kind of death is gross and cannot be tolerated.
