 I hate fake news, lies and LLM-generated nonsense and will block you if you boost those.

Bunch more stuff sown in the garden.

First a row of carrots, with some radishes at the end as I ran out of carrot seed.

Then I turned some more of the former goat pen #2 into a row of beetroots and a series of pumpkin mounds, with alternating butternut squash and Hokkaido seeds.

Everything fertilized with our own compost and a little wood ash for the pumpkins.

Weather frogs are croaking about a first thunderstorm with rain tomorrow night, which we could definitely use.

Phew, potatoes are in. It was a very long day doing it all in one go.

After making furrows, I dug up some compost from the bottom of the pile, threw it through an old fence gate to filter out the undigested bits and then installed the fresh compost in the bottom of each furrow.

On top of that goes some sifted wood ash, but only sparingly, followed by the seed potatoes gently pressed down into the compost.

Then I raked the furrows shut with a little hillock on top.

Finally tidied up everything except the compost sifting station, inhaled some food and had sauna. 😅

Check out this flamboyant chap I met during my lunchtime bike ride.
Yesterday we “warmed” the cabin. Crowded and joyful. People came and ate and made space for others. Games were held at my in-laws’ cabin for more room. Tuktu stew, allu, bannock, salads and plenty of desserts. #CabinLife #Nunavut

It got windy so I went out to check on hummingblobs, and one was missing. Found him in the mulch 20 feet below. Warmed him up a bit and placed him back into the nest (not yet a full fledgling, can barely shake his wings). His little claws were trying to hold on to my glove.
