Sometimes life gets busier than a one-eyed cat watching two mouse holes. That was yesterday so I am late getting this out.

Few of my plants have died off in the past week. I have mixed up the soil, added a bit of compost, peat moss – and replanted. The mulching I have done this year and combining raised beds with inground gardening has proven to be worth the effort. This “no till” gardening approach has reduced weeds dramatically. I’ll post some additional pictures later.

As far as actually “no till” that may be a bit of a stretch.I have areas where I place plants and seeds in the form of a row which tilling would prove beneficial. The mulching all around it not only keeps the weeds down but as the mulch breaks down it feeds the soil.

If you are not familiar with Andrew Wilkow you should be. He hosts a radio show and I listen to him on satellite radio. He does the absolute best job I have ever heard explaining, dissecting, and debating politics and political stories I have ever heard. A true understanding of the Constitution he has.

I’ve started to get back into couponing. The wifey is helping so it is not too time-consuming. Helps stretch the dollars.

Hate to cut this short…..I hope everyone has a great weekend. Be careful – Be safe!

    Yup and Yup

    Dep is a disappointment.. but not surprising. He’s really good at playing the deranged characters.. maybe he aint playing ?

    .You’ve seen what I do in my garden with hay bales.. I’m still pretty sold on that one.
    Although I will be looking more into companion planing…

    Today is the birthday of author Jerry Ahern. He would have been 71 years old. He was the author of the Survivalist book series, which starred the character John Rourke,
    RIP, Jerry.

      1. Survivalist Joe (AKA Indiana Joe) says:

        That is very cool! We have become friends with Bob Anderson, who is continuing the series with Sharon, Jerry’s wife, after our dogs were chosen to be part of Michael Rourke’s bodyguard group as characters in the newest novel.
        Our group (Shelties and all) were offered positions as trainers at the survival school they are developing, at the site of the 2nd retreat. Sadly, logistics prevented us from accepting.
        Bob is currently working on a run of Detonics .45’s, using original parts, put together by original Detonics workers, to be released under the Survivalist brand.

          1. Indiana Joe says:

            Detonics have always been my grail guns.
            I’ll have to make due with a Kimber Micro 9 for now. Have you seen those? Awesome little 1911 pattern pistols. When I first saw/held one, my first thought was ‘Detonics’.
