An Organic Experiment..
I find it really interesting that in this modern age, humans such as myself can code a web page, digitally edit audio, or remove an object from a photograph, but are completely stupefied when it comes to growing their own food. Over time and the growth of technology and economics, we have somehow managed to alienate ourselves completely from the roots of our subsistence.
It is in this spirit that we're delving into the hopefully rewarding hobby of gardening. This year, through water, sunshine, hard work, prayer, rain-dance, and blind luck, we will attempt to transform this:
It is in this spirit that we're delving into the hopefully rewarding hobby of gardening. This year, through water, sunshine, hard work, prayer, rain-dance, and blind luck, we will attempt to transform this:
Into this:
We will be growing (or killing) tomatoes, several types of bell pepper, peas, beans, cucumbers, carrots, lettuces, a few types of squash, cauliflower, and a wide variety of herbs. We have all the necessary tools at our disposal, so god-willing, we should come out triumphant.
In case there are critics out there who think that gardening isn't very Tumbledown House, I would like to mention that apocalypse is... so is eating and surviving.
Hope everyone is doing well and washing their hands, coughing into their elbows, wearing their surgical masks, etc. We're currently booking our national tour, which is a major undertaking. Haven't found the right R.V. as of yet.. Unfortunately, Mobi just wasn't the R.V. that we thought she was.

OMIGAWD! You crack me up! Susana and I have also just taken on the gardening endeavor. Tomatoes and lettuce were planted today. We discovered that the owner of our place had rhubarb planted, so we will be harvesting that soon. Now I just need to figure out what the heck you do with rhubarb! Good luck! I look forward to seeing the fruits (or vegetables) of your labors.
Hugs,
JA
good stuff
