The Garden

The first planting occurred this morning. The seedlings, who have been through so much, were removed from their containers, dipped in a secret concoction and thrust into the ground. As we were carrying water to the garden from a not-so-nearby creek, it started to rain. 

Cayenne Pepper can keep away predators - like cows

Snow Pea - planted next to a stalk of corn

I love this thing - he dropped from a nearby tree and started munching awway on my squash plants as soon as I put them in, it was incredible, I wasn't even upset - a FOPR pointed out that the design on his back looks like a series of penguins. A fortune could probably be made from entomological bio-mime prints in clothing designs - actually - stand-by for Project Reliance t-shirts! who wants one?

  1. Thanks for sharing your beautiful land with me! I'd say the timing of the sudden downpour was quite auspicious, don't you think? :) Good luck and let me know if you need help digging.

  2. Nice job on the cayenne pepper & the corn stalks used as pea trellis. I can't believe I missed the info on the waterfall shower! I just read about that... sounds pretty awesome! :-) I'm still in RI and would like to plan a visit to PR at some point if at all possible. Did you decide to do anything with cob? Keep up the inspiring work!
