  • In this episode we're busy with all the chores and challenges associated with living in an off grid cabin. Toxic rainfall is destroying our garden but inside the greenhouse plants are thriving where they are shielded from the rain.

I had planned on planting it in the Spring. Well I did finally get it planted. But I had to water the tree & mow the lawn along the sidewalk where the tree was. Now I am getting those containers ready for planting Tulips. I have a lot of deer & rabbits that love Tulips. Maybe the tulips will survive.

    Glad to hear your recovery was speedy .
    I've gotten 7 cukes 1 crookneck and 3 watermelon the size of tennis balls .
    The sun has been so fiercely hot it burned them all ,a complete wash out .
    Even covered the plants withered under the strong UV ,
    Me too I feel a little withered myself ,and ready for a change of seasons .
    Crisp mornings and open windows .
    Continued good health to the both of you .

Im still so very weak. I had no strength to even hold a glass of water let alone a book. That bear is too close for comfort. He’s trying to mark his territory. I hope you accomplish all you need.

    Wow I am so glad you are feeling better. So sorry you had three rounds! So good to see you and Lori and your garden is great. I love corn and I know your neighbors enjoyed it at their pig roast! Best to you Lori and Tildy! From a fan in DC!
