We do the same but we also follow some old time rule. Many, many, years ago homesteads had a pig or several, but it was more for the manure they produced. Get lots of it for spreading next to garden spot for next year. One big area and do about 1/3 the area each year. a year.

Got tired of having to weed eat between the garden beds. I got some cardboard, mulch, and laid said stuff between the beds. It's been dry this spring but we are supposed to get some rain this afternoon. I have a flat of lettuce and my tomatoes are four inches tall in peat pots. Since it is going to rain I planted Sugar Snaps, radishes, and mustard. My soon to have a new roof studio is up the hill. The woman helping is an undoc Mexican woman We have known for over 25 years. Her son is in the Marine Corps.

Your pictures are stunning.

Sure is beautiful here in the NC mountains. The light colored wild azaleas bloom last. Six weeks of color. I turned the elements on the porch posts with my big lathe.

The steps I cut into the hill up to my studio. The new blue roof. No more leaks.

Thank you, Rodger. Good to see that light light in your heart and nature in your soul.

Soil finally warm enough to plant cucumbers and summer squash.
