    I'll have a yard of soil delivered later this week to finish off my raised bed renovations then get going on early season seeds. The herbs all existed somewhere else and have now been consolidated, awaiting parsley and cilantro in the open spot in the first bed. At just under 100 square feet...

    Thanks for the info, that looks like a real solution, but not in the budget for this year. I hope to install that when the fence fails and needs to be replaced, that way I can trench the whole run along with digging post holes.

    I'm emptying, turning, and rebuilding raised beds today. The beds were here when we moved in and there isn't really an option to relocate them on our property. Our neighbor's cherry trees have a bad habit of infiltrating our beds with roots and causing problems. They form a dense mat of roots...

    Got any bird pics?

    Our school resident osprey came back this week, announcing their arrival with LOTS of vocalization and a fish dropped out of the nest onto the track...

    We have no idea where this tulip came from. This is our 4th spring in this house and have never seen it before. The leaves look like shit but this crazy flower came out of it.

    They've also played 2+ more games than all teams except for the Padres and are *only* 5th when going by winning percentage 🤷‍♂️ Mookie is a spectacular athlete though and can do literally anything on a baseball field.

    Got any bird pics?

    Not yet, we have a nesting pair that uses a light stanchion at our football stadium yearly. We anticipate their return shortly. Our digital photo classes love photographing them and named them Nachos and Tina.

    Sourdough fougasse with lots of Italian herbs and Aleppo pepper in the dough. The "shaping" went a bit off the rails because it stuck to the parchment despite dusting with flour, but it's darn tasty

    That's my birthday and if we come up with some disposable income between now and then, it's been a dream of mine.

    What Are You Eating?

    I like to take the strategy of meat at flavor instead of for the bulk volume of a meat. Flavor your veggies and alternative protein sources with meat and consume WAY less while still not missing the meat. Braises, stews, stir fries, etc. helped cut about 1/3 of our meat consumption to replace...

    We routinely have them in our neighborhood of central Tacoma too. They are incredibly good at urban living.

    Meet on a lake Sat 3/16?

    Straight out from the ramp has almost always been the ticket in spring for me. In fall the lily pad edges toward Susan have been money with a burnt orange balanced pine squirrel leech 3 feet under and indicator. I've had several 0-3 fish days they but also broken double digits a handful of...
