  • Looks like @jacquesinthegarden and I can't get enough of power tools in the garden, so we hit the over crop and compost heap with a mowing session to break it down even further in advance of buiding out our compost bin! We also planted out 5 new beds in the back garden with some classic summer crops.

    Things have gotten SO GOOD with Ian and Jacques (and anyone else behind the scenes) on the team.

    That intro made me laugh so hard I had to replay it several times, and then noticed the gentle (recorder?) music playing for Jacques was entirely different than the music playing when Kevin barged in with his aggressive lawnmower. Details like that make great videos. Thanks for the laughs and the knowledge!

    _"...and then a month goes by, and it would have been better if we just planted literally anything at all..."_ LOL! I'm not as young, limber, or energetic as I used to be, so I just keep reminding myself that each time I manage to get anything into the ground at all is a win!

    Asian eggplants are the superior eggplant tbh. So sweet. You have to either let them braise in their own juices or pre-fry them to let it dehyrate a bit because they're like 80% water due to their spongy structure.

    We don't get a lot of garden straw in North Cali. My wif nd I use rice hulls. Wokes great as a grund cover, and tilled in, makes the veggies easy to pull.

    I'm loving these videos SO much- the intro was absolutely class haha! Love you guys sharing about just getting things in the ground imperfectly- makes sense.
    As for the new patch, personally I would love a 3 sisters type bed (beans, corn, squash/melon) with an optional 4th with sunflowers. Think it would be a great full video for the main channel too focussing on indigenous knowledge/practices.
    p.s excited for the compost bins!

    I'm experimenting with radishes as a cover crop, but just mowing them down after they get a set of true leaves. They're supposed to have calcium in the greens comparable to milk, so they should be a great chicken snack, and then I still add a lot of green manure by leaving the roots to decompose. Should be mowing them this week.
