The south garden patch

the south garden patch on the last day of may: since i lost almost all the spinach plants in last week’s excessive rains, i may rename the south garden the pepper & tomato patch (since that’s the only thing left). again, going with the found, native, organic gardening goal. the waddle fence boarder is from spring trimmings. the tomato plants aren’t high enough for trellis work. maybe in a couple weeks. the pine boxes to the east of the patch (your left) are recycled from and old bookshelf and are home to various herbs: basil, oregano & chives.

The north garden patch

the north garden patch on the last day of may: the goal for this year’s garden is found, native, organic gardening. the stones are from the creek. the pea poles & tomato trellis are from spring trimmings. the wood boarders are from winter deadwood. the only thing i bought was the jute & twine for the trellis work.

yes… i my new, cheap coffee press… & other morning accouterments…

The north patch

the north patch : containing corn, peas, pumpkin, tomatoes, cucumber, sugar peas, cantaloupe, zucchini & winter squash…

the south patch : containing cherry tomatoes, peppers (bell, jalapeno, cayenne & bannana), cabbage & spinach…

Perfect setting for your iTunes Equalizer

scumblr: beverlyhasablog: Oh my gosh this is amazing. My music sound so much clearer. Edit: This doesn’t sound too great with my heavier songs. The sound blurs together a bit. jayrobinson: If you’re look for the perfect setting for your iTunes Equalizer, look no further. Set it to Manual to calibrate, then “Make Preset…” once you’re done. db +3, +6, +9, +7, +6, +5, +7, +9, +11, +8 db

corn, tomato and sundry seedlings come forth

but don’t plant the corn & tomato next to each other in the garden… they are not companion plants & may harm each other’s growth if planted close together…
