Tent Time
June 26 Look at the damage to the top of RK 16. One insect could not do all this. I consciously looked at that top two days ago and did not see this level of damage. It looked like this plant had been visited by a small cluster of western…

Hopeful News
June 23 We received some stunning and hopeful news last evening. One of our very best friends, who is also immunocompromised, someone I grow for, had Covid-19 and has recovered. We knew she was sick back in March, and we kept telling her to get tested. Of course, she couldn’t…

Outdoor Eve
First, a belated Happy Anniversary to us. Number 38 for Karen and me, celebrated yesterday. I present as evidence this sequence of photos. A week after we were legally married at San Francisco City Hall, we had our own, very small ceremony. We were about to sample some wedding cake…

The Window Opens
Today, May 15, is the first day our second row of beds remain in sunlight after 5:00 pm. That means the sun is finally beginning to inch toward the north side of the tree line atop our southern hill. We’ve had enough sun to grow vegetables, but not quite for…
