for no reason, tonight i'm once again thinking about the "russian cyberfarm." i've seen this video so many times & i *still* think it's funny. i was born in the former soviet union, and this is about as accurate a representation as you're gonna get 😂
also, i think anyone with a #farm or #homestead or #offgrid will recognize a lot of the situations portrayed...

"This episode traces the origins of today's #food system back to its origins: #slavery, and most importantly, #JimCrow. These institutions laid the foundation for northern #agriculture, where "nice" little family farms that grew food for #plantations. Both regions were oriented towards large-scale #export commerce, self-sufficiency played surprisingly little role, and this helps explain why our food system looks the way it does today."

According to my uncle, this end of the house was the bedchamber. Naturally, I assume that the tree here therefore is our family tree. 😁
These are the remains of the old farmhouse on our family farm. The buildings were abandoned in 1944, when the new house and barn further down in the valley were ready.
My uncles and aunt, grandad, and many generations before, were born here. My mom was born in the new house.
There isn't much left of the main house, only the walls. But my uncle (89), who was with us on this Sunday walk, showed us where all the rooms used to be. 😊
Groundhog eradication (they are way over populated here due to the cicada glut still in the food chain) continues apace.

How We Reached Workers While Reporting on Dairy Farm Conditions
==
As we reported on dairy farms in #Wisconsin, we knew we’d have to get creative in how we got our articles to the affected workers.
Here’s how ProPublica reporters Melissa Sanchez & Maryam Jameel went beyond a simple translation to reach dairy farm workers.
#Journalism #Newstodon #Reporting #Dairy #Farms #Farm #Safety #Labor #Children #Workers
A little farm and garden update for the homies:
One of my favorite things about the #farm is that every day is pretty much a different experiment.
The mason jar filled with flowers is my attempt at making lilac oil using the #enfleurage technique. After steeping for a few weeks, it should be ready to go.
The meat photo? #capicolla! It's going to be vacuum sealed for a week, and then it shall go hang in my cellar with the #bresaola I've had hanging for two weeks now.
And the garden-- I've got everything in this photo planted except those buckets along the back wall. I'm building a raised bed for watermelons back there, but right now the buckets are back there as storage because I don't know what I'm going to use them for (or plant in them) yet. They'll probably end up going between the back fence and the big bed in the middle. If you have any ideas, let me know!
The next step aside from the watermelon bed is to finish laying cardboard out to kill weeds, and then cover it with wood chips and level everything, so it doesn't look, well, like it does in the photo.
Also, if you havent figured it out yet... I'm in my cottage core era now.

“We never planned it to be this big! We just wanted to grow some cabbages and bring some children down to do some bushcraft and bring the community together..."
It started with just four volunteers from a tiny Transition group and an idea to take over a disused, publicly owned farm for the community.
Now Greenslate Farm is home to a care farm, drug and alcohol recovery service, dozens of rescued animals, a strawbale cafe, farm shop, forest schools, nature rangers, a community project incubator and so much more...
We cannot wait to see it for ourselves - and you can too - at our North West Regional gathering 10-11 June. Transitioners and everyone working for community-led change in the North West welcome! Book now: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/625220470257

Who wants to talk about the osso buco I'm making for dinner? ME me. I do.
The rose veal was raised by a #farm friend. I'm making cornbread instead of polenta bc I wanted something more bread-like to soak up the rich broth. I'll try to remember a picture when I dish it up, but it's stew-like, so not always easy to capture the flavor in a pic. #cooking #FarmToFace #homesteady

Here goes! I spend 8 hrs a day working on my art biz. A full-time job! So YES they are all mine. Note that I may list art from 15 years ago. I didn't create everything yesterday...lol
I get a solid 8 hrs sleep.
I spend about 10 minutes on the news and another 50 on TV. 7 hrs are spent socializing/family, eating, garden, exercise, farm/house.

what do you all think?
UPDATE: yea a human didn't write this: "This has a sensation of coming right into the skin. It is not uncommon for contact to cause redness, pain, dermatitis, and skin burns. With my eyes closed, it makes me feel really happy." kinky robot!
update 2: see screenshot. bing's useless AI "summarizer" picked the AI website as a top source.
in my garden, we have very little soil (0-4 inches of organic on top of solid lava rock) & the soil tends to be acidic.
in the past, i've been told to spread lime to bring up the pH. i found a half-used bag of lime in my shed & started to sprinkle it as top dressing, but then i thought: is this harsh chemical going to kill the soil microbiology ecosystem i'm trying to cultivate here? it must, right?
so what do yall think?

i love this #beehive setup that one of my neighbors has.
the hives are off the ground, covered from rain, and even have a tarp in the back to keep the sun off. you can see the bees hanging out at the entrances. love it!
it's always a pleasure to visit @saltphoenix at their #farm!
there were just-hatched #ducklings, so we got to welcome them to the world (by snuggling them).
the pumpkin patch this year is huge beyond all measure. we found (& propped up) 5 more pumpkins (on top of the 6 that were already found).
plus it's egg season, so i helped with the abundance & made a flan while i was there 🌞

The birds built their nest with my goat's hair, shredded white tarp, and moss. I suspect the moss is both good for having water at the nest, without it soaking the nest. It's thick and holds dew, but very well draining, in rain. They are amazing.

As a teenager, I spent a summer working at Lincoln Log Cabin State #Historic Site. I've since returned there from time to time to revisit the places where I worked with animals and helped maintain things the "old fashioned way" in the blazing summer heat. It's nice to see this place is still maintained and open to the public.

i gotta say, it feels like magic to be able to make a small intervention in the landscape of the garden that starts a chain reaction of life, growth, abundance, and interconnections.
this is my kind of domino effect.

We see fewer fields like this in our area in spring, as western Wayne and eastern Washtenaw county farmland is converted to housing.
friends, have you ever seen jade vine (Strongylodon macrobotrys) flowers?
i got this jade vine plant a few years ago & put it right next to the house so that if it ever bloomed, i'd see it.
i wasn't sure it would ever bloom as we have poor soil, but the other day, as i was hanging some laundry, i gasped as i spotted these flowers!
i just stared at them & was completely in awe..
i think their pollinator is a type of bat.

What did the first farmers actually #farm?
Eight 'founder crops'—emmer wheat, einkorn wheat, barley, lentil, pea, chickpea, bitter vetch, and flax—have long been thought to have been the bedrock of #Neolithic economies.
But early #prehistoric sites in Southwest Asia keep turning up more 'exotic' (to us) species, like the sedge tubers mixed into the earliest known breads (https://doi.org/10.1073/pnas.1801071115) or the 'new glume wheat' (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jas.2020.105258), an important ancient crop that's now extinct.

one of the things i love about gardening is how specific it is: you're taking care of specific plants, in a specific place. "now i take care of *this* tree. now i trim *these* bushes. i take care of *this* ecosystem."
i don't have to make generalizable solutions. i just have to help these specific plants grow :}

hi folks, this question concerns growing #orchids outside in a #tropical climate.
i've read that one should try to remove any rotting/melting/old parts of the plant, but it seems like some of these orchids are just fine with the moisture & decomposing material provided by these old parts of the plant.
i made a video to show my situation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oedv_ma6dWM
