Yep, it’s really that simple…

Good Friday morning friends 😊 I'm still considering building a rollergoatster 🤣

Where the wild things are… 👀

Incredible, 18 years underground… and you’ve never seen anything like this before. 🙌 The hidden heart of every asparagus plant.

The more old school skills I learn, the more prepared I feel for the future.

Great traditional seed saving technique here.

If posting this makes me an “anti-technology violent extremist” then so be it. AI data centers are destroying livelihoods and it needs to stop!

Have you tried rabbit poo in the garden yet? You can check your local rabbit rescue to see if they’ll give it to you for free or you can get your own rabbits. When their poop is mixed up with bedding (pine shavings, hay, or other dried carbon source) it should become light & fluffy and earth smelling. Credit: alyciagardens

A small pocket in Kansas just made a move that shocked America, unanimously voting to ban data centers in favor of farmland. These Kansas Counties are sitting atop some of the most fertile agricultural soil in the United States. At the same time, the AI data center boom is grasping for that same land. But driven by secret land purchases, non-disclosure agreements, fears about water depletion, and the loss of generational farmland, communities across south-central Kansas unanimously voted to ban or pause data center development. The most prominent example is when Sedgwick County where residents and the Board of Commissioners has repeatedly imposed bans on development. In Harvey and Saline County, they imposed one of the longer bans we have seen nationwide at 3 years. 70% of Americans oppose the development of AI data centers in their local area, and Kansas is at the heart of that protecting their agriculture. If we want to help keep these small farmers alive, support them directly. It’s unbelievable that needs to be said but we have now reached a point where there is a genuine fight between food production and some of the biggest companies in the World. Big Tech is taking over useful land and we have the opportunity to help shut it down.

One of the best parts of homesteading is growing natural medicine, teas, and seasonings for your family. This takes self-sufficiency to a whole other level! Credit: morethanfarmers

It ain’t dumb if it works!

Welcome to the Rosemary chicken hotel!

She’s a proud mama! 🐴

Potatoe towers are showing signs of life. Time for the steady watering and waiting until harvest. 🤞

Let’s go! Scapes keep coming in which means garlic bulb formation is triggering. If you want larger bulbs, pull or cut the scapes. You can then use the scapes which have a garlic flavor with a green onion style body, in cooking. Don’t rush on pulling garlic - if you’re growing a hardneck variety and are the scapes, it means you’re still about 4-6 weeks from garlic bulb harvest.

You never know what you’ll find during a home inspection! 😆
