Three Taps
Bee and Azure left yesterday, and as a parent, I am not always a fan of empty nest reminders. They had been inside with us for most of two weeks, without masks, just like the old days. It was family. Toward the end of their stay, they were exposed to…

Back to Work
Dawn rising, this is a view of some of the southern hill treeline that shades my crop in afternoons and evenings. September 5 All evacuees in our area have been allowed to come home. Our entire region of the world breathes a sigh of relief, and offers our sincere thanks…

Intimate Gardening
This is ACDC 22 catching an evening ray of light through the trees. September 1 First of September means it’s a BT day. Approximately ten young worm nests were found yesterday, so the white moths have been active during the fire. As every plant is flowering, worm outbreaks will not…

September Needs Help
The kit is a constant around here now. Such a fine fellow. It watches while I prune. As you read this blog, we are two weeks or less from harvesting our first plant, Shiatsu Kush. It will be good to have an early harvest plant to shake the dust off…

Dominoes
Here you can see a friendly bumblebee making its way around the new lavender that has grown since Karen harvested a bunch several weeks ago. August 14 We are having our first 100 degree day (37.7C), with only 17% humidity. Weather like this is good for two things: 1) Killing…

Counting in the Dark
This is Shiatsu Kush, on day 21 of flowering in this video, and we hope this is a preview of coming attractions. We want to get footage soon of bees interacting with cannabis flowers. Karen said this one was getting into the flowers, but before she started filming. August 11…

The Poetry of Motion
This is RK 18, with a cabbage moth flying by for inspection. This plant is still in veg growing mode, though it won’t be for much longer. She is at the other end of the beds from where we take the photo at the conclusion of each blog, so she’s…
