Back to Eden

Organic Gardening, wood chips


For those of you thinking of starting a garden, here's one way to go about setting up the bed.

http://backtoedenfilm.com/

After years of back-breaking toil in ground ravaged by the effects of man-made growing systems, Paul Gautschi has discovered a taste of what God intended for mankind in the garden of Eden. Some of the vital issues facing agriculture today include soil preparation, fertilization, irrigation, weed control, pest control, crop rotation, and PH issues. None of these issues exist in the unaltered state of nature or in Paul's gardens and orchards.

"Back to Eden" invites you to take a walk with Paul as he teaches you sustainable organic growing methods that are capable of being implemented in diverse climates around the world.

Accountability


Common Sense

Looks like my Pinto and Kidney beans are forming seed pods :)  The Pinto are from Jebadiah Fisher, and the Kidney are from the grocery store.

 As you can tell, the Pinto's are doing much better, and they were planted much later as well.

Besides the beans, my garlic is going strong.

And the lettuce is popping up nicely.

Popped some green onion ends into the ground, they seem to be growing nicely (even though a certain someone keeps pulling them out of the ground)

Radish

Only issue is something went to town and ate all my radish leaves.  I found a green caterpillar today and escorted him off the premises.  We will see if the plant recovers.

The peas are flowering now as well, so all in all, I'm pleased with the progress of the garden.

Low Flyers




It seems Camp Pendleton has changed their flight path for their helicopters.  They used to mainly fly over the ocean, but lately they have been flying directly over my office building, and lower than usual.  So far it's been solo aircraft, usually a Cobra helicopter, but today is was an Osprey.  Wonder what they are up to.

Garden Update

Everything is growing well out in the garden.


I have a blueberry bush, lettuce, two types of peas, squash, zucchini, cucumber, carrots, radish, beets, pinto beans, kidney beans, and garlic growing.  Not bad so far.

A pile of kidney beans (turned pool toys) ended up in this area.  They are growing strong.

There are a bunch of mushrooms growing in the morning, but when the sun hits them they all die down.  No big deal I hope.

The garden bed consists of some planting soil, planting soil mixed with manure, and a healthy topping of wood chips.

Thanks again Bill for the seeds.  If for some reason you haven't, be sure to check out http://jebadiahfishergardenseed.com/.  I have some bell peppers on order now, and will get those going once they show up.

...Deeper Still

Now I understand my post "Dig Deeper" probably brought some of you out of your comfort zone... GOOD.  You should never be too comfortable.  Push the envelope.  Find the truth, whether it be my viewpoint or not.

Now, here's some more brain food.

Let's say you fully support our soldiers, no matter what war they are in.  Why?  Does a man being an American soldier mean he can do no wrong?  Should you blindly support a man simply because he is an American soldier?  Ask a Southerner his opinion.

American Soldier

Many of you have no qualms stating your displeasure with our LEO.  Can a policeman do no wrong?





Granted, these are examples of Americans attacking Americans.  But how would you react to a foreign force that is trying to "restore the peace" or "liberate" you?


Or what would you do if a foreign force came in to overthrow your government and steal your resources?


Don't you think the people of the countries we invade would feel the same way you would when faced with an invading force?

Who is the bad guy?  The aggressor?  The attacker?  The invader?  Or the defender?


The answer?  It depends.  But the point is "just doing your job" and blind patriotism are not desirable qualities.
