KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 07:22:28 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, hell... get some zuchinni going too. It won't take long, and you're past the season of bastards (vine borers). Give it a try. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 07:22:27 JST KindOfAFarmer But yeah, with everything you're doing next season is going to be great! Just keep preparing and planning (planning is probably the most important part). -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 07:16:05 JST KindOfAFarmer Nah, there is plenty of time (unless you're up north... then yeah....). Plenty of stuff (bush beans, peas, brussels) that you can get in the ground that should make it.
Hell, get and area prepped for some winter wheat or garlic here in a few months 😀 ). -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 00:53:27 JST KindOfAFarmer Ok, yeah... the heats the big thing. Sweet taters hate the cold (anything less than 60 it seems). You also need grow lights on them because they'll want a full dose of "sun" to stay alive and healthy.
Good luck, and I hope it goes well for you (and it will interesting to see the results) and you end swimming in sweet potatoes next harvest season. They're such a great crop. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 00:26:55 JST KindOfAFarmer Gotcha, ok. If it's rooting that's a good sign. Store potatoes are usually "young" so they're going to take quite a bit longer to slip than something was over wintered. I'd just be afraid they treated it in some way that will inhibit or at least slow slipping.
Just give it some time. Worst case scenario you've got something for next year if you can keep it alive/growing. You'll just need to keep it in good light and warm. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Thursday, 20-Jul-2023 00:22:25 JST KindOfAFarmer Was it a garden store or a grocery store? Just want to make sure. And please don't take this as thinking you're and idiot or whatever, I just want to know the basis you're working from. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 10:39:04 JST KindOfAFarmer Oh, yeah.... that's the one other benefit of rabbits. They shit like crazy and you just dump their manure straight on everything. And it's a great all around fertilizer.
I think it's the magic that makes things grow in my crappy soil 😉 -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 10:29:14 JST KindOfAFarmer If I was in a pure subsistence setup, I would go this route. Wouldn't want to waste food. But in the good, easy times I can be soft 😀 -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 10:25:36 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, we never kill our older hens. They served us well for years so they deserve their golden years -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 10:23:36 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, Orpingtons are a great breed. Great layers, good size for meat, very friendly, and they are great at hatching if you want to go that route.
We're setting up a specific coop separate from the main the raise Brahmas for meat birds. They're also decent layers, cold hardy, and very docile/friendly. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 10:01:37 JST KindOfAFarmer Yep, nature loves to steal the bounty we work for. Aphids, vine borers, squash bugs, Japanese beetles... deer. Nature's niggers... -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 09:34:29 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, I've heard a lot about basil and oregano being good pest repellents. I need to remember to plant some around things next year and see what happens.
What's funny is I had a pot of basil on the deck and and it was constantly covered in Japanese beetles. Mayne it's more of a trap crop? -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 09:11:39 JST KindOfAFarmer Yep. My wife picked up some weird varieties this year. All of the ears we picked were pretty interesting. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Sunday, 16-Jul-2023 09:11:38 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, surprisingly fewer bugs this year. Usually we lose a bunch to worms, but not so far this year. I'll chalk it up to the neem oil (so I can justify the money I spent on it and the sprayer to myself).
We also left a few ears hanging to harvest for seed. Hopefully the damn birds leave it be. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jul-2023 17:55:02 JST KindOfAFarmer Depends on the day. HIIT workouts are usually 30 minute workouts and we end up with 3.5-4 miles. Our longer interval run is 45 minutes, and then we usually do a slower Sunday long run for 7-9 miles. -

KindOfAFarmer (kindafarming@nicecrew.digital)'s status on Tuesday, 11-Jul-2023 17:55:01 JST KindOfAFarmer Yeah, I really need to focus more on strength training. I do a lot of running and cycling, but I definitely slack off on the strength side.
Strength + running 5 times a week seems like a pretty good regimen.
