You never know what you’re going to find, but you’re almost certain whatever it is will prevent you from digging a hole easily.

Elderberry update! Watering method is working, they look happy so I’m happy!

✅Grapes in water
✅Grapes in peat/perlite (but smaller)
✅Elderberry in water
❌Elderberry in peat/perlite (so far)
❌Blueberries so far are a flop, I’m going to leave the green ones in and keep my fingers crossed

I know I call it dirt, I call everything dirt, but the mix I’m using is an eyeballed 50/50 peat moss and perlite.

I have a few grape starts to share if anyone local is interested!

Funny story: one year I picked all the pretty ones as my favorites and named them all my favorite names and every single one ended up being a rooster😅 10 years of experience and I know better now.

With the upcoming hempcrete event (September 17-20th, 2026) with Permatours and John Patterson , I felt called to share my journal entry from the day I returned home from the event in 2024. I walked away with way more than I was anticipating, and I am SO excited to return this year to see this incredible structure near completion.

Time for a weird bug find. Found this chowing down on my chicken tomatoes but this one’s a little different than others I have found because of the… leaf?? Embedded into its body. This is a first for me! Not sure they’d be able to complete their lifecycle like this but regardless it’s chicken chow because I will protect these tomatoes with MY LIFE.
