Sunday finds at the freegan market

Had to go front door shopping over at the Safie way and the liquot store for a few things. I figured i would do a bit of backdoor shopping as it was still early. a pound of over-ripe limes, 2 lbs of organic carrots and a cuppla onions.. good catch, There was some meat and dip but with the heat yesterday, I wasnt going to risk it. But veggies are the shiznit. And the carrot greens go good in a salad. It always gets me because any time you buy carrots the greens are usually cut off before packaging.. The greens are good for ya.
UPDATE: I just added a bunch of pics of the gardens. Have a look here

Sunday video blog post

Saturday meandering

While the week in Babylon keeps me busy and coming home to work on the garden and the 'stead keeps me real busy I should have time for a video tomorrow. Today I planted some borage and 7 more tomato plants. I also transplanted some spinach and some corn starters. Wont the gestapo love me.. Alas I gotta feed the family.
I also transplanted a cuppla sunflowers that survived the slaughter and placed them in a new bed for the birds to enjoy. Sunflowers, birdseed tray etc. I also loaded it up with some green bean seeds for the friends to enjoy. I hope to throw a cuppla zuchs in there to fill it out. A mass for the birds.
I have enjoyed and shared the first two dozen radishes of the season and after adding some fresh compost to the soil I planted another round. Also had to thin out some lettuces and spinach to a shadier area so the grow better. I love greens. And pretty soon we will be able to start enjoying fresh veggies.. yumm yumm. Gardens are to shared with all creatures.

First homegrown meal of the season

fresh greens salad, onions, green onions and rdish greens along withe these babies. I love Fench Breakast radishes.. and all homegrown

Resistance is Fertile for Urban Homesteaders

Bad week

As some of you know that follow old Trash on FB this last week has been annoying to say the least. Definitely a Memorial week. Apparently the neighborhood NAZI patrol took it into there whim to come into my yard and trim indiscreetly anything they didnt deem landscape worthy.. ie columbines, sunflowers, Mums that reseeded from last year , basil and soome lettuces and phlox. hmmm I guess stuff that grows naturally is considered weed whaxk material.. Wonderful society we live in. However, the positive of all this is they left the debris in the yard and it will make good compost material for the new bed. Alas.
As for the new experiments.. I had never tried to do eggplant before , mainly because i dont really like it. But Mrs T does so I created a bed of it just for her and the 1st seedling came up.. This morning there are two .. Hopefully my lizard statue will keep the aminals away and let them thrive. We shall see.
There wont be a video this Sunday as Trash is doing some maintenance projects at the stead. Summertime is always busy for me and with this setback it may take some longer time. But I will be back to doing homemade videos as the season progresses.
Resistance is fertile.. We are URBAN HOMESTEADERS..

good video
