Since I started cutting that willow it woke back up, big time. It's now growing leaves in places it never had, like directly out of the trunk.

Even the parts I cut are growing like crazy.:-?

I took the chainsaw and cut an inch in all the way around the base to stop it but it doesn't seem to be working.

I have an oak that snapped about 15ft up over the winter. I cleaned up what i could a couple months ago, figuring I'd drop the rest around now. Well now there's a 10ft tall stump with 2 small branches growing out of it, it's not a danger to the house, so I'm gonna let it live and see what it does, kinda like a big bonsai.

I have cut logs from that oak that were sitting on the ground for a month, plus, and started sprouting new branches once things warmed up. It's amazing how life keeps trying to survive.

I've been busy busy the last month. Got my veggie garden going, built some new cucumber trellis, started some fig clones, got some Clementine orange trees started. So far I've moved 5, 4x6 trailer fulls of compost, all shoveled by hand...i really need a bobcat or small tractor.

The last week I've been working on building a hugelkulture with all the downed trees we had this winter. It's 25ft long and about 6ft wide. It's getting planted with asparagus, strawberries, and a couple dwarf apple trees(next year, once it settles) and some other perennial herbs, plus annual squashes ands beans/ peas. I'm trying to play with some permaculture gardening, mainly because I'm lazy.. lol. I need to get to my buddies farm and get a truck load, or 3, of manure at some point, luckily he has a front end loader at the farm.


Once I get this one done, I have enough material to build another, but that's going to wait till fall I think. I still want to dig a 20-30ft dia, 4-5ft deep retaining pond, again no machines, just my 2 arms and a shovel. Gonna be a busy summer, at least I should be pretty jacked with all this manuel labor.

I made a batch of cannabutter last night. Going to makes cookies.


Hey. Who was looking for tires. IMG_20180513_202414.jpg Doral. Not sure where to get them. I got them at a family tire place. 60,000 mile warranty and they will do every bit of that and more. I got about 20,000 with very little wear. Right at $90 a piece with mounting balance taxes and all.

That was me looking for tires.

I show up and I have four cooper brand multi-milers waiting on me ......:wall:....ok whatever they do the alignment and four tires 245-60r-18 105h $585.00 and that includes free rotation and repair if necessary.

This is a interesting method of planting I'll give it a try with some veggies thanks for sharing.

I stayed up last night and made my batch. Been waiting for almost 2 weeks so the excitement was too much to bear! Made it a little too strong this time around. The separation doesn't fully begin to about 2hrs with around 4hrs was my hold time.

I strained it twice and it took all the gritty out of it. The batch before the last I pulled at a little over 3hrs. Last night's I pulled at a little over 4hrs. I'm intrigued so I'll let the next one sit longer.
