Last Notes npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young A race to the bottom npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young We finally have our overhead irrigation installed. This system simulates gentle rain and means we no longer have to hand water 40 market beds. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Bingo npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you, we are really proud of the quality of our vegetables npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young As a small scale producer of vegetables I am regularly asked why our vegetables are priced the way they are. What makes them so special and why, given that we sell direct don’t they cost less? If there is no distribution chain taking their cut, shouldn’t our vegetables be cheaper? The short answer is a solid NO, the long answer lies in the concept of being Frugal vs being Cheap. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Update on our second attempt at running a locally based market garden. Our landlord is an aircraft mechanic and pilot. He recently flew over the farm and took this photo. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you, we live in a beautiful place and put a lot of work into the layout of this garden. Our business is called Nelson OMG, the OMG stands for Organic Market Garden but we also want to people to say Oh My God when they see it npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young There are nowhere near as many pest bugs in Australia as in the USA for whatever reason. I have found that keeping a very clean garden and mulching with compost keeps most bugs away. We have a species called Cabbage Moth which like to eat all brassica's so we use insect netting over all of those crops. It equates to a 20% shade cloth. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you, I have to take one day at a time at the moment its all I can do npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young A carpenter is also called a "Chippy" probably gives just as many red flags npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Followed back npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young He deserves the gallows npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young A Sparky (that's what we call Electricians in Australia) npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you. I have been playing around with Twitter but really don't get any positive interactions on there. I was having a good time on Flote before that imploded, Nostr is far better than both Twitter and Flote. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thanks Matthew, I am hoping this garden is very photogenic and that we can eventually do a lot of farm tours. We are in southern Australia so are currently in Autumn/Fall. As we are in Australia and on the coast we get almost zero frost and have a moderate climate so can grow all year. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you. The soil here is mostly sand and organic matter. Its full of worms already and yes things are growing really well. We ate our first baby spinach last night, beetroots will be next npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young So much better, we now live on the edge of a small fishing village surrounded by a Tea Tree forest, 1 km from a river, 3 km from the ocean. People here are friendly and supportive of what we are trying to do. Essentially the exact opposite of the last 6 years of our lives npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Thank you npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young To be honest it has been brutal. Prayers are always appreciated and I do believe the worst is behind me now npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young It has been almost a year since I lasted posted on Nostr. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Looks like Barley to me. Barley is grown in "Winter" in Australia npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young This kind of feedback makes a lot of pain worthwhile npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Are you going to link them together or put them in different places npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young We use the cages from IBC tanks. I cut one wall off with an angle grinder then you load them up. It looks very neat npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young I spent some time this week pruning this small, heritage variety orchard in the town I live in. Pruning has mostly been done by volunteers in the past and it showed. I have restored shape and airflow to all of them and would love to get them to mulch underneath with woodchips before Summer. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Happy Saturday morning Nostrich's npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Too funny 😉 npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young If only more people called out bad cops like this, we would live in a much freer world. Language warning 😄 npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young From Chaos to Order. This was a Fig Tree and Quince Tree intertwined and choking each other out. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young This is the first home brew I have made this year and I am trying something new a "Beetroot Pale Ale" npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Venison is still delicious 😃 npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young "NASA went to the moon with computers that had less computational power than the phone your pocket" npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Everyone does. You have to go on your own discovery journey to find out more, it's too big of a lie to undo quickly. Took me about 5 years of looking at it to come to a real conclusion npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Is that a challenge? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young This is the story of my life and part of why I have social anxiety. Every time I speak the truth I am labelled a retard. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young As long as you cook the leaves then yes that is fine, Broccoli leaves are essentially Kale npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young From what I understand Fountain is only 2 or 3 people so I am willing to cut them slack. I also notice that some of my podcasts don't import all the new episodes into my feed. I need to go into the actual show to find a new episode npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young I haven't earned any sats as a listener in Fountain for months and months. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Cut the main heads off and keep picking "Brocollini" the side shoots, for the rest of the season. I took a brocolli all the way through our Summer doing that. If you keep cutting them off they keep sending out more. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young More than halfway through the 75 Hard. Congratulations and you look great 😃 npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young All the high end work boots are really comfortable. I always get steel caps as well. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young I have heard of the Mucusless Diet but have not read the book. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young My life has been a long series of unlearning the complete lies I was propagandised with in school. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young If I am pulling weeds or harvesting then I wear Crocs, if I need to use shovel or power tools then it is work boots npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Stolen from Twitter, Happy Saturday from the future (Australia) everyone npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young I am stoked to be playing a rare live gig this weekend with some of the members of The Go Set. Music and Gardening are the twin pillars of my sanity while experiencing this crazy ride we are all on. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young What do y'all thing of our new marketing slogan, is it a winner? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young My observation is that what most people call "diseases" in their tomatoes are just old leaves. Cut all the old leaves off below your fruit and flowers. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Do you cut off the leaves below the flowers/fruit? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young How do you prune your Tomatoes? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young We had a huge day yesterday. It is a Root week in the Lunar Calendar so planted all of our garlic and onions for the year as well as this months beetroots. That equates to 600 onion transplants, 200 beetroot transplants as well as over 1200 garlic bulbs, all now in the ground. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young What diseases are you dealing with? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young If you have lost your sense of smell then you were poisoned and need to detox your body. The simplest way to detox is water fasting. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young That's why I did this outside npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Other than general Dad and Market Garden duties my Sunday project was to assemble this Lego table for my 6 year old son, it was his birthday on Saturday. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Is Odysee going to use BAT? npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young The same reason you don't walk around with all your wealth as cash in your wallet. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Just don't do a ferment based on Kale, ask me how I know 😉 npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Bok Choi is the "cabbage" in this recipe, it is a Brassica as well. Yes ferments do not have to contain Cabbage. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young We make what we call Gardenkraut, and it is a combination of whatever surplus veg we have around so the flavour is different everytime. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young No more than you would carry as cash in your wallet npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young All you need to do is keep the Comfrey leaves clear of the Elder tree for a few months and it will get taller than the Comfrey npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young While I would never say I had a wonderful time in the very extended Lockdowns we had to endure, I certainly did not waste any time while we were in them. Our market garden was built with sweat equity and repurposed garbage. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Yesterday was harvest day and I decided to crop out this entire Beetroot bed as they never really grew to any decent size. These "Blemmy" Beetroots as we call them will be used in our Rainbow Salad mix (shredded carrot, beetroot and celery in a container) or dehydrated and turned into a powder to add to yoghurt or as an ingrediet in out Gardenkraut ferments. We are a tiny operation so we value add as much as we have time for. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young These are Butterhead Lettuce which have proven to like our hot climate. They are very attractive and delicious, I can grow them year round here which is excellent for cash flow npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young This Lettuce bed was about to be swallowed by Oxalis and required a meticulous hand weeding yesterday. I am a perfectionist and love the look of a weed free farm. npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young Moving ;) npub1eppsssy4essequ5qanpw3rjw9fssfwkg7rkwq8f6ra82jjjxgydqrn8zl5 Evan Young 914 seedlings in 1.5 hours.
