  • Someone on the town crew was out with the boom flail mower, mowing on the sides of the road. Ostensibly, it’s to keep the drainage channels clear and to reduce plants from reaching out into the road. Guy mowed my entire front row of ferns, skipped some lilies, then mowed down my flowering and decorative grasses. At one point, he must have lifted the boom to avoid an Iris, but then brought it back down on another flowering grass in the middle of my front gardens. They’ll survive, but my front garden is going to look destroyed for a few weeks at least while they recover.

    In more positive news, we had some friends and their son visit on Sunday. My wife took the other ladies around to walk in the gardens at one point while I was cooking - I found out later that we’re part of the inspiration for some folks who are looking to start a sober living space!

    There are something like twelve common names in english, it was introduced to me as “oregano brujo” (wizard’s oregano). It’s most strongly oregano in its aerosol phenols but when I’ve used it in meals (usually in a slow cooker) it’s got notes of the thymol that come through.







  • So I didn’t spot any other girls frequenting the greenhouse, which leads me to believe they could all be hers. Our two boys are ‘chocolate’ and ‘pied’, so with her ‘pied’ genetics they could all be hers and the colors might be crazy.

    Generally speaking the yellow bits will be light and the brown parts will be black or brown, with browns and sometimes green or an iridescent purple being kore common on the yellow ducklings.













  • I bit the bullet and ordered some shirts to wear while I’m working the market stand, and I’m hopeful that they make everything more cohesive. Logo is the front, catchphrase is the back:

    I helped a friend out of a bind this week, and tomorrow I’ll be helping another friend start to transplant his garden from his old house to his new one. Hopefully this heat dome doesn’t ruin our efforts.
