Last harvest of 2025!

They say to leave parsnips in for awhile after the frosts. We've had a few frosty mornings, so I thought mid-November was a good time to go get them.

A good haul! Much better than I've done in the past. I think my soil-regeneration efforts - […]

A couple of weekends back, I went pheasant hunting for the first time with my son. It was a great experience! The dogs were so much fun to watch work, living their best lives in the fields. The birds were challenging to harvest.

But dinner last night was the icing […]

Days ago, I asked Fedi for recommendations on simple "drag/drop" TTRPG mapping programs. A lot of great suggestions, but one was repeated - Dungeondraft.

Digging through dusty memory banks, I recalled buying it in a HumbleBumble before COVID. Sure enough, I did! […]

I'm not sure how I could ever max out on Dragonsweeper to get 365, but I sure as heck got pretty close at 353.

Finished shucking?/hulling?/de-podding? the black beans (Trail of Tears beans from Victory Seeds).

Out of the 3 rows (roughly 24 - 28 plants) of plants, I harvested 5lbs 7ozs (2.5kg) beans!

I'm not sure Mrs Chgowiz and I can eat that many beans in a year...

[hunting, deer hunting]

Not every hunt ends the way I'd hoped, but I enjoy each hunt and I learn things from them.

A bad shot all around, but I did finally find the bolt. The eight point buck? He snorted and hopped off.

My bad luck streak continues!

Almost all over. Tilled the cover crop at the community garden plot. Only thing left is to harvest the parsnips. The plan is to do that after a good long frost night, so probably mid/late November? Maybe have parsnips for Thanksgiving dinner!

Starting to process the black bean harvest, now that the pods are all dried. This is one "tray" of pods. Can't wait to see how they taste!

End of growing season cleanup at the community garden plot. My cover crop is doing well. The alyssum is hanging on but the marigolds are about spent.

If freezing nights don't kill the cover crop in a couple of weeks, I'll take the weed whacker to it.

Baked sourdough bread to go with our autumn squash soup that I cooked up last night.

Soup is alchemy, no question about it.

With the exception of the onion, all of the squash, pumpkin, carrots came from my garden both last year and this year.

My autumn greens bed provided! I may get one more harvest before frost, but we'll see.

Almost got the max points on Dragonsweeper! That was an amazing bit of luck!

And the music is definitely grooving a bit more ... uptempo? With that score.

The unexpected over-half-inch of rain today is not unwelcome! My late season greens, cover crops and still in-the-ground parsnips will be very happy.
