Got some Coleus seeds and some pumpkin seeds today.
pickI‘m inspired to grow a lot more flowers in the veggie garden. We try to go as organic as possible, and bringing nature into the yard really helps with all the pests out there
We have organic vegetables in our front and back yard….maybe it‘s time to see what flowers each might enjoy the company of.
Planck suggests eating real, whole foods, including pasture-raised beef and chicken, plus butter, cheese, and eggs from those animals. She also suggests that raw milk is as safe as pasteurized milk if it comes from a reputable supplier.
I use butter from grass-fed cows and imported from Ireland (imagine the price going forward with the crazy new tariffs).
She does a huge data/info dump throughout. Often, my eyes glazed over. 😵💫🙄 Overall A-.
pickAnyone who remotely cares about how food is sourced, grown, or made should read this book.
When I was growing up on a vegetable farm in Loudoun County, Virginia, we ate what I now call real food.

pickThe title of lunatic farmer is one Mr. Salatin wears proudly. This book lays out his philosophy of farming. In hip language, he is old-school. His ways, though modernized, hearken to the days before modern fees lots and industrial farms. It's following nature's patterns. I enjoyed this book immensely. The only nit-pick is that it could use some pro editing. That is easily ignored. Excellent and fun read.
Been on my radar a while. I think sometimes I might be a lunatic for doing what I do on my little urban homestead.
