May. 20, 2009 Permibus Tour
I guess I have been as busy as I have felt lately. My last post was two weeks ago ...
We had a fun time yesterday visiting a hs friend who was hosting the Permibus.
www.permibus.org
They brought chickens, a redworm bin, a puppet show and talked about a variety of the things they have been involved in during their travels. The puppet show was really fun - the kids and adults were entralled and all sat during the entire show.
I had a lovely time talking to a good friend's mum who is visiting from England. It was special to see the two of them together as they hadn't had a visit for a good many years.
Of course I forgot my camera. I was late and ran almost out of gas on the way out there. : {
Nevertheless, we arrived during the little talk on chickens. Later, while Toby took his down time, I went into the bus, saw their grey water herb tubes, their little wood stove and recycled emergency blanket window coverings and had a bit of a visit with the bus driver. (They have a LOT of books on there and three dogs too. )
I had a tour about our hostess' plantings of brocolli, squash, tomatoes, and her stick built greenhouse. Neat. She is using compost from a mushroom farm. Her brocolli is really good.
We stayed much later than we planned and I felt a little guilty for arriving home so late. |

Yea! A bunch of our strawberries overwintered and are growing. BUT that means that to get any fruit I have to go water them. Those rows are long, so very soon I am going to intermix some peas and other good stuff, but I don't have the right seeds yet. It is still in the 40's at night so best to wait on some things.
Still, we froze alot of berries last year. Still some in the freezer so let's make smoothies right now!
Talk soon, |

Yesterday K and I had to decide what to do as we had a swimming pool on the other side of the shed which had some water in it and some tiny frog eggs and tadpoles. She had been adding water and we may have transplanted them to the pond. However, yesterday there was red algae growing throughout the whole pond. So we contemplated and didn't know for sure but thought that maybe it was bad so we dumped the pool and added a bit of bleach to it. No more tadpoles...
Anyway, I am somewhat worried about algae after I read that some types can be fatal to animals. Yuk and scarey! |
