like a lot of things, I do a lot of DIY. It indeed is a fantastic hobby, or even way of life. I had a crappy end to my work day. When I got home, being out in the garden and harvesting my beautiful organic produce dropped all negativity out of my head. We have a large scale garden, and mainly growing out of necessity.. organic produce is so so expensive up here, and often times by the time it gets here its rotten. No thanks to expensive rotten food we say. We still have so much to harvest still, and everything is growing still.. I just wish my tomatoes would ripen. We've had such cool weather. I'm thinking some plastic sheeting to give them some more warmth. We planted way way late, and used strawbale gardening this year, with plans to make 10 4'x8'x20" raised beds, and use the composted strawbales to start our beds, fill the rest with soil. I am building my own PVC drip irrigation system as well! I love gardening, though at times it can be quite a lot of work.
Oh and I also have a fruit tree orchard with honeycrisp and wolf river apples, cherry, and peach.
