Greenhouse
Makin’ Room and Changing Places
Crowded The Hippy Hot Hut is crowded! Packed full and I haven’t even dented what I was supposed to have in starts this year. The bench is full, and so is the north wall shelves, hanging bar and floor. The bench is mostly propagation heat mat covered and in direct sunlight. It is the main … Continue reading
How Shocking!
Not really, truth be, the opposite of shocking. It is vacation time from teaching for Dirt, that means picking up where he left off on big projects. On that list, the electricity in the Hippy Hot House was at the top. Up until now my electricity has been delivered via drop cords, several. Not very … Continue reading
It’s Thriday
If I’m going to be confused I figured you could join me. Yes, today, for most folks, is Thursday, but because of another furlough day, love ’em – hate ’em, it really is more like a Friday here at the Farm.

Now For the Glazing.
Oh, I love glazing, I put a lovely cream cheese glaze on my cinnamon rolls on Sunday… No, not frosting or icing. Glazing. It is the clear stuff, if you will, that is on a green house or in this case, hot house. So yes, like the shiny coat of a sugary substance for donuts, … Continue reading
What’s Today?
Well, aside from being another day God made, it is a day for killing slugs (a favorite sport of mine) and eradicating “hard to kill weeds” hideous things in the garden both, so that is what I am going to do! In the rain. Because it is raining I can’t spray for disease and bugs … Continue reading
