found a decent patch of wild cranberries, they're not quite ready yet though  

welcome back!

I've never grown it before, Silene undulata is native to South Africa and is supposed to induce extremely vivid dreaming when you consume the roots.  Otherwise they're a pretty cool looking ornamental

Not my thing but a lot of angry teenagers might like it because of the djent.  Good luck.

Very short grow season but I'm ready to rock and roll finally.  will have these filled with plants like beans, cabbage, cauliflower, etc.  by the end of this weekend likely.  Soil blend is native topsoil, native clay, guano, epsom salt, bonemeal, and some other things       more coming soon!    

Kasilof, about an hour and a half north of Homer.

who are you educating?  :P

they do kind of have a funny chittering sound The biggest problem is tourists during July, it's basically what they call "Alaskan combat fishing" and people crowd the beaches in some spots elbow to elbow catching reds

I miss Wendy's, closest one is 3 hours away XD

actually this area probably didn't get much activity as far as gold mining because it was all forest when that was going on...people built neighborhoods and stores right on the ground and don't realize there's a bit right beneath their feet.  I didn't pay for the dirt either, got it for free off...

I actually don't know what these are, but they're berries of some sort.  I'll go back and take a look at this area when picking season comes around (August-ish).  Main berries to worry about here are baneberries which are easy to spot and these aren't them.  

it's an ugly piece of busted quartz with some basalt stuck to it

was sluicing and panning a bit, found a few flecks of Au but I also found a nice couple of tiny Ag nuggets.  I'm still not sure what the stuff in the picture is, what else wouldn't be pyrite but be metallic yellow like gold?  I don't think it actually is Au so maybe it's something else.

Lost a 1st cousin yesterday to the scourge that is opioid addiction. I wish people would see it as a public health problem instead of a reason to toss people in jail.

got a load of dirt for my raised beds, it's got a lot of cobbled gravel etc. in it that I'm picking out.  I broke out the sluice and pans yesterday lol
