A day in the hood...

 So far today at Castle Bovine Exhaust....

My lushest garden Evar.  A friend asked about it and I told her the two secrets. Lot's of rich aged mushroom soil compost. Like 50% of the garden soil is that black gold.  Add some wood ash and call it perfect.  The second secret, each part of the garden gets 30 minutes of light rain early every morning it's not already raining.  30 minutes on a timer so it's honest.  Not drenching, just a light rain or drizzle.  The ground stays moist on the hot days, but not soaked. The plants love it.

I think it's going to be a hella year for tomatoes.  Every plant is loaded with fruit.

Now, about that Canadian air pollution they are sending at us....  I really think we should fire up the military, spend 20 minutes conquering Canuckistan, and then put their damn fires out.  After that, give them back their socialist shithole and walk away.

The air (Code Purple?  WTF?) is thick and hazy.  It makes the eyes itch and burn a bit, and smells like burning Canuck sweat socks after losing a national hockey match.  Other than that, yuck.  I'm staying inside today.  Got the garden stuff done before 8am and the rest of the day can suit itself outside.
