Ouachita Mountains - Eagle Rock Loop
On April 5th and 6th I did the 27ish mile Eagle Rock Loop that follows two different forks of the Little Missouri River. This is a super cool route climbing through the Ouachita Mountains in Western Arkansas with lots of running water.

Just a couple of mushroom harvests from a couple different places and times. I harvested shiitakes from logs I inoculated two years ago. Everything else is wild harvested.
Gila River Loop

This is a 37-mile loop that I hiked in June 2023. I went off trail a time or two, and Alltrails has been known to be a little off with their mileage. I wound up getting 46 miles in 2 1/2 days. This is a beautiful area.

Seed Saving /Okinawan Pink Okra / Start to Finish
Переглядів 4472 роки тому
Back in September of last year I got a spur of the moment idea that I would save the seed from my Okinawan Pink okra that I was growing for food. I wanted to use it as a teaching tool to people who maybe had never saved okra seed or any type of seed. I felt confident doing this because I have saved okra seed so many times in the past and did not expect to see anything new that I hadn't experien...

The Biggest Lion's Mane I ever Harvested
Переглядів 1062 роки тому
I have found bigger lions than this but they were always out of reach, too high up in the trees. I don't know why but this is typical of the really large ones. I was able to get this one and it was the biggest I ever harvested. In the future I think I will leave these big ones to nature.

    I like how you call it a "little" 26 - 27 mile trip; I would have been huffing and puffing up and down those ups and downs! Beautiful water areas through there although that snake made me nervous 😄 I know what you're saying about the tent camping part because I never get a very good night sleep. We're looking at getting a bigger tent so that we aren't stuffed in there like sardines and maybe that will help. I was looking at your meals thinking how some pad thai would have been tasty! Great trip and thanks for sharing the experience.

      I think you would have done fine but that second day was a tough one at times. I would like to use this trail to condition on in the future. I have a couple ideas on what to change in my set up to make more comfortable but I have to be careful because this pad keeps me warm in cold weather(wasn't an issue on this trip). Definitely would try some of your pack meals on this, the grits was pretty cool. I'll show what I'm doing with it one day, they're not instant grits. Thanks for hanging out!

  • @wildrangeringreen
    @wildrangeringreen Рік тому

    could plant a row on every or every other bed, on the west side of the beds. Then plant things that can't take as much heat along side them. By the time the Okra is shading things, your daylength is pretty long, and the soil's plenty warm; so the plants like collards, kale, cabbage, Lettuce, and carrots don't need direct sun for the entire day to do well. By the time you prune up the stalk 12-24", the season's starting to cool off a bit, and you can allow more light into the beds. Up here in OH, I interplant every bed with taller things, so I can grow most crops all summer long, with minimal irrigation. Plus side is that it makes those taller things more economically viable on a small scale (sweetcorn, okra, greenbeans, ect). Can't make much money on .33 acre of only sweetcorn, but it's nice to have if you plant it on "wide rows" (spreading the same number of plants out over .66 acres) and then plant the entire .66 acres with more valuable stuff, which benefit from the shade the corn provides (or structure in the case of pole beans). Similar idea to broad-acre farmers interplanting into 60" corn (wait... it's been 3 years and I just realized that that would put the corn I'm planting on 60" 🤦‍♂) I run 48" beds, with 12" paths, however. Every bed gets horizontally trellised tomatoes (or tomatillos), every bed gets sweetcorn, every bed gets pole beans, every bed gets a cucurbit (melons, cucumbers, squash, ect), and every bed has either peppers or eggplant. The beds (4 x 220') that get zucchini get Okra along with the corn and tomatoes. Everything else is planted wherever there's space. Can't be certified "organic" since I can't 100% guarantee that I won't be planting something in the same place twice in a season lol; but the price premiums have pretty much disappeared anyways, so it's NBD.
