RE: Time to Relax, #food fight friday
Dang man! I know quite a few people with gardens and I don’t know if they’re as impressive as yours—awesome!
Any literature explaining why vines grow clockwise or counter clockwise? Ther must be some science to that somewhere, yeah?
And what’s with the hay? I didn’t notice Bay spread over anything other than the potatoes, why is that?
Great entry, @thebigsweed, you sure know how to make an #fff entry—happy Friday!
edit I keep meaning to mention how much cleaner your pictures look without the dates on them, in my opinion anyway, I noticed you stopped attaching the dates recently—good call! I was probably gonna say something else right here but I might’ve forgot that too.
Hello @dandays. Had the family up threw Monday and it was a very busy 4 days, mostly playing games. The grand-kids are non-stop and they wore me the heck out. Basketball, wiffle ball, swimming, fishing, hiking, board games, and so much more. You know what they say use it or loose it, and while I still am able I like to participate in all activities despite the price I pay after they leave.
Talk about cooking, I felt like a short order cook.
Hay can be placed over the potatoes seeds right after planting because they can make their way right through the hay. The remainder of the vegetables we allow to grow a bit and then place the hay around them, initally they have a problem making their way through a blanket of hay.
The beets as well as the carrots don't neet any hay, as their vegetation will completly shade the earth they are growing in. The reason for the hay is twofold, it blankets the earth to retain moisture and also provides the plant with a more even soil temperature throughout the day and night.
I have also been told by a couple of other people that the pictures look cleaner without the time/date stamp.
On some of the posts I do eliminate it, but on others I like to have a record for myself of exactly when the events in the blog have taken place.
Thanks for stopping by my friend.
