Tyler literally yelled "gas is so expensive thanks to big orange faggot" when we pulled in

i suggested to my mom to fill up on gas a couple days ago, and fill all our gas cans "just in case, it can't hurt"
she's gonna regret that she didn't listen to me, but that's normal.

yes, cuz i wanna make my mom not talk to me for a week.

yall got any smoke??

I got a gas station breakfast sandwich, was good. They make them fresh. I just had to wait behind some hobo mechanics

@madison @xaetacore @madcuzbad Hobo mechanics are the best kind

I just got done describing to Tyler how I felt bad for one of the dudes because his hand was solid black past the wrist stained 😭

@madison @xaetacore @madcuzbad I used to live by a 7-Eleven and I knew one of the employees pretty well. Got past-date sandwiches for half price and he always let me take my coffee for free. It was great.

@madison @xaetacore @madcuzbad Nothin beats....the hobo life....stabbin folks with my hobo knife....🎶

We have a little gas station by our house with a kitchen off the back and they make food and sell it. Cute young girls work there too. I'm telling you boys, come to the country! I was admiring how clean everything was. I've only stopped in once since moving here and this was my first time loitering in daylight

i live in the country already.

Are the girls white and cute

@madison @xaetacore @madcuzbad @suquili but the economy is here 😭

some of 'em are

don't matter, i aint' tryingt og et a girl, i'm trying to get a house.

I'm going to start my tomato seeds in the greenhouse when I get back from the valley. I got roma and cherry. I want to can some sauce again this summer

tomatoes are easy long as the seeds sprout.

Yeah I had a freaking tomato jungle a few years ago. I had like 15 romas and struggled pruning so they just went wild 😜

me too while i was still at grandpas

tomato lane. grandpa was in a wheel chair most of the time in his last days, so i had to hwele him down that ramp past the tomatoes, he was like "oh they're doing real good, i'm proud of you" cuz he was always a gardener.

My lavender seed that I harvested from an older plant sprouts okay. I have two seedlings that are growing right now.

i might not do any garden this year, cuz i intend to move and course spring is just starting so i'd have to start pretty soon.

nvm today is the last frost lOL
it's tillin' tt ime.

I've been meaning to reach out about flowers. I want to have a flower garden and for some reason I thought you might be the person to talk to

but i don't really wanna bother doing it then move away and leave it here where my mom won't take care of it, so it's kinda pointless.

for sure! always happy to help whenever 😊

i planted all this garlic at my grandpa's house before i had to leave, i wasn't expecting to have to leave, so i had ot leave it in the ground lol, i planted it the fall before i left, it was starting to grow pretty tall when i left.

When are you planning to leave? Ang prospects?

uh, "this year" lol i meant here's a few places that are potential buys, the main problem is my mom's taking the loan in her name czu she has better credit htan me, and there's a program at her bank where you can take a loan to help your kid get a home at a better rate, but she needs to pay off a bill she has so she can get approved for enough.

bummer and the new people probably didn't even realize what it was

I plant garlic when I plant spring bulbs.

I have a few poking up now, it will be interesting to see how well it grow here in sandy soil, my last place had rock hard clay soil

i might have told them, it was a younger couple they came over a few times to look at the place while i was still there and i talked to them, they were nice, but i still felt like shit that we were selling my grandparents house and property to strangers, i wanted to keep it in the family cuz i feel like we don't have anything in our family.

I was thinking of doing a cover crop of legumes with diakon radish on my garden beds... Diakon are supposed to help breakup clay soils.....? Ever heard of that

my mom and stepdad have 3 acres and a nice house right NOW but that's about it. my mom runs a business i have no intention of bothering with when she's gone.

well it is a root crop, they do tend to make room for themselves, depends on how compacted the soil is tho, i grew a buncha raddishes two years ago i pickled them,t hey were gooood turns the water pink all the red seeps out of their skin and dyes the whole radish pink.

i used them like regular pickles, they're crunchier

I do love how quickly radish grow

@madison @annakatarina @xaetacore @madcuzbad @suquili Deer like them too

I hadn't heard that about diakon, but it makes sense,

mulching is huge for clay soil so it doesn't dry out too fast, cover crop and then leave it for mulch

what really helps clay is adding organic matter like straw and grass clippings and tilling it in.

Tis a large Japanese radish. Pretty good eating but I never did try and grow them.

What I want to do for the garden this year is do a cover crop and then till it under and probably plant one in fall and then leave that for the spring to start planting in the soil

clover is good for that since it nitrogenates the ground, adding one of the most improtant plant fertilizers, i have bags of nitrogen pellts and potassium pellets and phosphate pellets that i sprinkle on my ground when i got stuff in the ground to grow i like getting it seperate cuz some plants need more of one thing less of another.

corn which is a grass, loves nitrogen, tho i dunno if you'll ever grow corn, i like growing sweet corn since it's good.

Tyler cleared out the garden and dug down with the tractor to remove most of the clay layer then added some top soil and compost but I want to do the cover crops before I start planting so that it has a better chance. The clay gets so freaking hard

indiana is practically all clay loam, so it's not pure clay and it's not particularly hard, but i still drop a bag of gypsum on my garden spot before i till

I want to get my grapes in the ground but I will wait. I don't want to jump the gun. The veggies in growing this year I'm just keeping in the greenhouse

I'll look into gypsum, thank you

either lime or gypsum, ideally you test your soil ph before you decide
cuz it willc hange the ph, tho tomatoes like more acidic soil anyways, you can add coffee grounds to your tomatoes soil tog ive 'em a boost.

I got a moisture and ph tester on the way
