As you can see, I changed how the cards are on top of the
jar. I initially taped them to the side and
it really blocked observation. All three
jars have condensation. I want you to
know it was very difficult to put feeling of hate and anger into “I hate you”
Jar. The “I love you jar?” It was very easy to put this kind of feeling
into my words. There is no sign of any
mold or fuzzy growth in any of the jars.

We have most of the vegies in. I transplanted many volunteers (i.e., plants
that grow without me planting). I dug
them up and put them into their assigned square. You have to have a good eye to see them
growing amongst the “weeds” (i.e., crab grass and thistle and burr
plants). Sprouts? Tomato plants, dill, cilantro and
fennel. I also have dug up several
radishes. I decided to use the
sunflowers in my garden for the pole beans – nature’s pole. I am happy to say that it will save me money
at the gardening store.
I don’t know what is happening around the country. It appears that the garden stores are using
bigger pots rather than the three packs.
I have had to go around to several stores. Definitely a way to make money, they are
selling 3” x 3” for the same amount as a three pack. The new way you only get one plant unlike the
3 pack.
I called and left a message at the city parks and rec
today. I found out that two community garden
renters sprayed their plot with Round-up.
What were these people thinking?
Do they realize that not only did they kill the weeds, but they also
killed the good microbes that help the soil?
I really don’t want that stuff plowed into my garden next year. I’m planning on asking how we can get
Round-up banned from the community garden.

My poor Ash, she is infected with the Emerald Bore. I have posted a picture of how she
looks. Her upper canapé isn’t growing
any leaves. She isn’t alone. You can see her sisters in my
neighborhood. They look the same. Good for the woodpeckers, bad for the air
quality. This is an example of the risks
of a global economy. Recapping: cheap
products, cheap labor (i.e., lack of living wage with benefits) and invading
species that have no competition.
