I think I tilled too early... Now what?
Comments (8)Sarabell Are you worried that rains will pack the soil down or winds will dry it out? Can you find some organic mulching material to cover your planting areas? That should keep the soil moist and friable, and you can dig through the mulch to plant. If you added in a good amount of compost, I'd think you'd be okay. Your compost will have blending time with the other soil, and I'd think that just pulling back the mulch and loosening your "tilled area" with a hoe when it's time to plant ought to do the job....See MoreI hope it is ok to post a non plant pic!! too funny!

Comments (5)I think there has to be some sort of equalibrium point below which the price of sheet rock or a 2x4 won't drop. A point where everyone along the chain is making enough money that it makes more sense to keep going than to close shop. Prices can go below that for limited periods when shifts in supply and demand make it more important to move inventory than make money, but it can't stay below it for long. Flgargoyle is certainly right that energy is a big part of the equation. The oak veneer ply I bought yesterday was made of trees grown here, shipped as logs to China, milled and shipped back. And people worry about locally grown produce......See Moredo you 'think' about your own death? hope i am not morbid
Comments (15)Deb, I am the same way. My brother passed away over a year ago (I did not find out about that until 2 months afterward), and my mother just this past January. I think about death almost all the time now, and if not exactly death, then how my end will come, what disease will I get, who will take care of me. I read about the wonderful people on the caregivers forum, and as I have no children, I wonder what will become of me (I'm 45). What happens to those who can no longer speak for themselves? What happens? Sometimes the fear grips me so bad, I fear "losing it". Maybe that will be my punishment for not helping with the caregiving for my mother, and now for my very ill father. My sister was/is in charge of all that. Why? A long story...and I feel that although I am not entirely blameless in how things turned out, the twists and turns of our lives, our actions, our words, or lack of them, our whole family, led to the tragic situation as it unfolded. But I still feel guilt. When not thinking about death, I have other such morbid thoughts, like having visions/dreams of someone chopping down all my old trees after I'm gone, bulldozing my beloved perennial garden, throwing out my knick-knacks, books, letters.... Geez, I need a drink.... Anna...See More- 7 years ago
