Hah. I needed a precious. I've abstained quite a while.
It's on my list. I took care of the flower beds Saturday. Need to get thegarden done this week.
That square foot gardening method has suggestions for garden beds up on saw horses for folks with mobility problems. Puh-haps you can put her to work ....
I pretty much fend for myself other than at dinner time.
I've thought of that. I used blocks to set them up this year. But I might try the raised bed approach next year.
I need to start turning the compost pile...it works faster that way.
I've got the lumber for the second bed. I just need the corners. I want to get the stackable corners so the bed will be nice and deep for the 'mater roots.
As I have done many times in the past, I am wishing you lived closer to me...we'd have a great time, I suspect.
:-)
Are you opposed to raw goat milk? Would that be an option?
Yeah, my compost pile is decomposing vey slowly. I'm not even gonna have room for this year's leaves. I think I need to get one of those "starter" products to add to the pile.
Didn't have cows' milk 'till I hit kindergarten.
One thing you'll learn from reading Price is that peoples all around the world 'discovered' milk to be a healthy food - camel milk, yak milk, cow milk, goat milk, etc. And not just milk, but milk products such as butters, cheeses, and other ferments like yogurt. All of it raw, of course.
I borrowed some from the garden and *poof*: hyperspeed compost.
The reason I asked is because I found a local goat dairy at the "real milk" website. But Maryland doesn't show any results. PA does though...is it close enough to you for a weekend jaunt?

But fortunately I'm close to the PA border. Just haven't had time lately - or a place to store the milk. Trips will be few and far between so I'll be buying in bulk and freezing back... now that I have a freezer.
Another reason why I want that second bed up. I've got leaves from last fall composting in bags that I need to speed up.
I'm hoping we can get rid of some trees this year. I'm NOT looking forward to the falling leaves.
Back later. Stuff on my desk is composting...
Steve has a rubbermaid tote full of red worms in his office! I kid you not. Whenever we drop by to visit him, it's quite the attraction for the jedis.
He feeds them our coffee grounds and our natural egg shells and scraps of old tee-shirt. Funny, they'll eat the entire tee-shirt, but leave the nylon thread, still all stitched, behind.
Yawn... morning.... izzit Friday yet?
Rosie left on her bike early, so it's just me and the cats. And I'm not awake yet.
Worms like coffee. I put in coffee grounds and egg shells too. I just haven't turned the pile like I should have been doing.
Hey, I have a new obsession! Wanna know what it is?
Our compost heap has coffee ground, egg shells and the wood shaving litter from the meat chicken's tote.
