June 24th goofy picture of myself in the spiral garden. Size comparison for the cherokee corn. Also, notice the squash that has had its tap root eaten by the critter, but is trying to recover via smaller roots still remaining.

Stop and look at Nature. See that she offers answers to all our problems if we just listen and watch. The bees have decided it is time to pollinate the corn!

June 23rd view of the rainbow chard, it sure does thrive in the aquaponics table!

June 23rd harvest of cherry tomatoes. Can you tell which three came from the soil plant? The aquaponics table seems to make larger fruit, and faster, but I still think the soil tomatoes have more flavor. I would be very curious to see which has more nutrient density, ie best for medicine/food!

June 23rd view of the cherokee corn ears taking shape.

June 23rd view of the cucumbers in the raised bed. Granted, I have been slacking on the raised beds from weeding to reseeding what didnt germinate, but they are the oldest plots and most worked of our gardens. Soil structure is everything, and I am willing to bet the price of a soil test and recommendation that this soil is still lacking a lot, but better than what is outside of the fence.

June 23rd view of a lemon cucumber in only 15 gallons of restructured soil, with the beautiful Jessi modeling for size comparison. The plant is literally the size of a love seat.

Smokie Doo now giving the size comparison/modeling a go, slightly different angle to help.

I have no control to base the leaf, plant, nor fruit size from, but between the smart pot (air pruning) planter, restructured soil, biodynamic preps, and sonic bloom, I am over joyed with the harvest!

June 23rd view of the Paw Paw trees in containers, acquired late last fall.

June 23rd view of the meyer lemon. I am overwhelmed with the response the tree has had to the sonic bloom applications. Within the past three days ALL of this growth has happened. I know the solstice just passed too, but my goodness, three to four inches in every direction, while she supports over a dozen gumball sized fruit!

June 23rd view fruit in containers: the newly acquired strawberry ground cherry, blueberry, white pomegranate, and goji berry (left to right). A 15 gallon planter, rolled down a few inches, so more of a 10 gallon, houses multiple basil plants going insane! I plan on using this as an R & D model of what sonic bloom can do, along with the crystal grid, and biodynamic preps, compared to just plan biodynamic preps.

June 24th view of the strawberry ground cherry up close. Already has two new fruits and a tiny yellow bloom this morning. She has noticeably grown since yesterday!

June 24th view of a Goji Berry bloom, the first I have personally seen!

June 24th view of the spiral garden, the peas are about done.

June 24th view of the squash mound. A volunteer star and moon watermelon came back from last year, I am trying to train her down the mound.

June 24th view of the vine crops. The critter has done a number on the plants, along with the vine borers (which I have since ceased, but they did serious damage!). The furthest three mounds all were lost, pumpkins, watermelon, and gourd, even some of the purple sweet potatoes. However, what remains is thriving, but needs more soil/compost to amend it!

June 24th I caught a beautiful lily blooming. Between the recent rain, biodynamic preps and gardening, sonic bloom, positive energy and intent in general, I do believe we have had more flower blooms the past two months than in the past three years! Or maybe I just havent noticed the previous blooms? Either way, I am glad they are gracing us with their presence!

June 24th long overdue update of the orchard, starting with the Anna Apple, our biggest tree, yet still not producing.

June 24th Craig's Crimson Cherry tree update. I do believe she is going to have a great year of growth!

June 24th view of the eucalyptus tree, planted a couple weeks back and absolutely going crazy with growth!

June 24th update of the celeste fig tree, really showing signs of thriving after her transplant in the ground/orchard!

June 24th update of the Fuji apple. I refuse to let the tree die, even though it seems she hasnt really grown much in three years. I am hoping more positive energy, sonic bloom, more biodynamic preps and gardening practices should liven her up to the point where someone will eat an apple from her one day.

June 24th view of our most productive, and only currently producing fruit tree, the peach! I am sure the variety is somewhere in a past entry, the name slips my mind currently. Last year she produced 3 golf ball sized peaches. This year, we got a half dozen of similar golf ball size, while another half dozen grow to be just smaller than a baseball. Needless to say, they made an excellent fruit complement in this year's first habanero hot sauce!

June 24th positive update that the parfianka pomegranate is coming back VERY strong after dying back to the ground from the winter's freeze. Locals I trust and learn from almost daily tell me the worst winter in 26 years, so I am grateful to have this much growth on the current plant/bush!

June 24th view of stunning flowers from a local biodynamic beekeeper's garden. I learned a good bit about bees and other pollinators yesterday from a truly passionate soul, which helps as the knowledge shared is so pure. Love all pollinators, from the thousands of bee varieties to wasps and flys, as without them a third of our food supply and 90% of our flowers will vanish.

June 24th harvest! All of it is biodynamically grown/raised (except the darker honey in the cup). Love the land, the land will love you in return. Pictured are lemon cucumbers, san marzano and purple cherokee tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, burgundy and provider bush beans, a hot wax pepper, a bowl full of matts wild cherry tomatoes, a jar of local honey (spring nectar), and a cup of more local honey (magnolia nectar!).

June 25th, after three hours of sonic bloom frequency the plants are singing, the bees are buzzing, and the pollen is being distributed by the most efficient method nature offers.

June 25th view of the hand chair and the corn, with a squash stretching at the base.

June 25th capture of the multitude of corn hairs the cherokee corn offers! White, pink, crimson, and all shades in between!

June 25th while sitting in the hand chair watching nature, I was shown a crafty wasp, trying to set up home under the corn leaves. Sorry for the blurry picture, but you get the idea, respect all pollinators (I may still try to relocate this mother to be for the sake of harvest the corn without being stung).

June 25th has brought another rainy night, full of moisture for the parched soil and plants. With the third day of moisture brings mushrooms! Which is an awesome sign for a steward as it reminds me the biodiversity and life is returning to the soil. The hard work and positive intentions are paying off, and mother nature is expressing her gratitude and eternal beauty for those that notice.

June 16th these pictures were taken.  The next day the 20x20 space was crystal gridded to amplify energy. Not many pictures, but some to enjoy. As someone who walks the land daily, multiple times, I see subtle changes increasing with each passion filled day. I did a second Biodynamic stirring and application (1 hour stir this time) on the 7th in sync with Biodynamic farmers the world over. I feel the applications have helped, and the growth around the property is starting to show it. Life is being restored, enriched, and encouraged here. To come in the next day (or two) via blog post are the results of a new R & D project involving frequency, a product named Sonic Bloom.

June 7th stirring for an hour.

June 16th view of the 20x20 garden

June 16th view of the Lemon Cucumber, thriving in structured, balanced soil (15 gallons). The difference in this plant to the raised beds 4 cucumbers is clear that soil structure is VERY important, comparison pictures coming next update.

June 16th, yes I am a farmer and I intend to farm this land. This is the planned garlic patch after the first morning of tilling. I do not use gas powered tools, besides the lawn mower. The goal is to have this patch tilled, amended (soil tests are important!!), then layered with cardboard, wrapping paper, and leaves, and whatever else we have accumulated that will break down into nitrogen and feed the worms!

June 16th view of the aquaponics table. Finally got the red russian kale and pac choy out for fall/next spring seed supply. Mostly chard, red russian kale, matts wild cherry, and seeding cilantro (a strawberry is taking root) in the beds now.

May 27th in the evening I did my first biodynamic stirring and application to the property. Life changing. Literally, it restores and creates life force. These pictures are the morning after the application.

May 28th Rose Bloom

May 28th view of the spiral garden newly mulched and trellised

May 28th the peach tree is forming about a dozen fruits, reaching that gorgeous ripe color soon!

May 28th view of the squash and zucchini mound freshly mulched and humus added.

May 28th view of the three sister's mound, cherokee corn, cherokee pole beans, and squash. Mounds freshly mulched and humus added.

May 28th view of the fruit trees. The fig has doubled its size in a month. The pawpaws are growing at a steady pace now that they are getting more sun.

 

May 28th view of the feshly mulched and humus enriched vine crops (squash, gourds, melons, pumpkins, sweet potatoes).

May 28th view of the freshly mulched pepper and tomato beds.

May 28th view of more tomato, basil, and beets.

May 28th view of a dumpling squash and tomatoes planted in the 4x4 and mulched. The cucumbers are stalling as they climb, must work on the 4x10 bed's soil structure more. The carrots came up spotted, but they look happy. Volunteer basil and tomato are showing up too.

May 28th view of the strawberry, onions, and tomatoes mulched. Since this picture was taken, 7 of the onions have been eaten by a resident underground critter. They took 2 years to get to flower and seed as they are now, I just wish it would eat plants I havent spent as much energy on.
