  • Saskatoon berry last chance to harvest! Silly me… 2 hrs surrounded by nature, gathering nutritional life-hoarding- for the winter. Versus 2 hrs at the gym, indoors, to do only the 20% exercise requirement for health. Really? Do the 80%. Plan to stick around. Big strong muscles do not compare to a highly functioning Gut. The real bwain of the body. Good enough! No regrets other than a week earlier woulda gotten twice the amount. For super breakfast additions all winter, and/or water kefir sodas.

  • Companion gardening with strawberries and garlic. Harvesting then Remulching. Notes: * New garden: 1bag leafs/ 4 sq ft. * Mid summer remulching: 1bag/ 16 sq ft. * Make sure to keep the leaf bags covered otherwise they will break down from the sun. * The garlic bulbils keep over winter. * 140 garlics outa a dark corner of the garden. Its a WIN! * Interesting year… garlic was so much different. I used the biggest cloves, and planted at prefect time for a change. Small bulbils, small heads…. The Ferment Farm had big ones. Maybe planting at end of winter makes a difference…. The test is on!

  • On garlic… Bulbils (“seeds”). Thats what grows when you dont cut the scape off. This Red Russian runt was pulled off a large cluster of about 6 others. Sometimes its OK to not dig one out.
