People who grow food are life givers. Thank you for your work.

it's been a crazy year, but this is year 8, and so much is coming together. it's really exciting. getting fruit on my fruit trees, and soil building projects getting to be just right.

so glad to live where i do, w things fairly under control.

Shalom!

salam!

will not advise me to drink bleach so AMEN to you my friend!

i sorta purposely dont wear a mask in my garden so people will keep their distance.
it used to be so quiet here during the day. but now. man.

thanks of friend.
we have to meet in meatspace one day.
what a tale the long version of this story is.

I hope you have good rains to bless your treasured plants.

and this spot, having been covered for the last 3 years, needed so much water just to get it ready.

raining today, tho, and got a bit yesterday. if it can just keep up till the beans, etc, can give them some shade, they will thrive, i think.
that stuff was sitting in pots for too long too, so it should all shoot up fast.

thx for the amen.

Their territory was because raising tobacco wrecked the soil. Also the need for new boundaries was why Washington became a surveyor. I don't want the tobacco to ruin your soil!❤

i dont intend to expand, so i dont have to worry about that, tho....

i do need to look into the soils issue, tho. this spot is freshly built soil. 5 year ago it was a pile of huge logs. i do hugelkultur here.
so, there is very little in the way of sand/minerals.
i did give it a shot of a good fertilizer, and a combo mineral source.
and i always plant beans the first year i put a pile into production.

should be interesting.
also have 3 little paw paws to add to this little bit of understory.
never thought i would go out of my way to block out the sun.

1. I wish you much success in your agricultural endeavors--"ag'r" myself...........2. Might want to check with extension service for permits and growing season length. Not much org 'American' Tobacco grown in upper Midwest. Hoop building might help. (Seriously, check for permits)

to sell, i presume so. but to grow? aint nobody gonna know what that plant is unless i tell them, and i have grown other nicotiana family. night scented tobacco is one of my favorite flowers, and i grow it for the night pollinators. the perfume of it physically hits you in the face when you walk up to it.

my seedlings failed this year, so i was super happy to see these little tobacco plants.

the guy who gave them to me would know, and he didnt mention it. he is a prof of urban ag, so...

Paz

been brushing up my high school spanish lately, so i especially appreciate that blessing.
