"As I was walkin' - I saw a sign there
And that sign said - no tress passin'
But on the other side .... it didn't say nothin!
Now that side was made for you and me!"

auto flowers are fun to grow. never really know what you have until it's about half way through. I've gotten some very small ones with less than an ounce and giants over 1 pound. these were taken 5 days apart. it's going gangbusters :)

yaupon hollies are just about a nuisance plant around here. under every power line, fence line and long tree branches thanks to the birds. nearly all are bright red. this is only one colored orange I've found. found out recently they make good tea. something to try

tomatoes have really come back and eggplants are finishing up. 65 this morning but calling for 40's by the weekend. usually doesn't get freezing until late December and then sporadically. I'll be moving my delicates in shortly to wait for spring.

found this new one just this morning, not much larger than a golf ball. could it be a young gopher tortoise? I've seen one just about a deck of cards size before but nothing smaller. I think I'll set up a trail cam and do my due diligence.

we could really use some of that rain going up the coast but will not get any and they will probably get too much. life is a carnival, believe it or not... :)

found an American Persimmon tree on the property. next to the road so not the best but it has quite a bit of fruit. still very astringent. should be tasty when they ripen.

discovered this shining sumac on the walk and looked into it as per internet:"The somewhat sour berrylike fruits are edible and rich in vitamin A.[20] They are eaten by wildlife and can be made into a lemonade-like drink." they are laden right now so I'll give it a try.

pine devil moth caterpillar was crossing the road, still dark. if the dog hadn't seemed interested I wouldn't have seen it. moved it to the side of the road so we both could carry on with our day.

can't remember how we bent this 3' pipe wrench but it was way heavy. I used to hang from these working overhead, using all of my weight and strength jut to get them to move as a 85# teen trying my best to keep up with the men. I learned more about life/people there than I ever did in school.

clean up/out continues. weather has been great for it although still hot. one dumpster load goes out today. lot's of stuff that's worn out or broken but a few good finds.

finally attacking the out buildings.dumpster almost full. it would be easier to just toss everything but there are many usable items. local charities will get a share as well as neighbors. it's humbling and also cathartic as I sort my parents life in things put away. I'm glad they had fun.

I'm enjoying this bokashi composter. it seems to work well. compost tea is concentrated so it lasts a while. smells slightly earthy and sweet🌱👌
