Description

The listing, Dealing With A Mess has ended.

I’m currently trying to deal with the aftermath of this. It just flooded here again before the first flood could be cleaned up. I’m sorry for the delays with any winning auctions on my listings. Thank You for your patience and understanding. Positive Vibrations...Mike

Questions & Comments

Sorry about the amount of flooding where you are. We have had it also but right where I am luckily I was only going squish squish squish and unable to mow in some areas. Although nearby lots of flooding. With daily almost rain, I decided no garden due to lateness and still not able to get in the garden but I dragged all my big pots out and the garden went in on my deck and one of my flower beds. The garden will work on cleanup/ adding compost etc. And be ready for next year. I am sure my neighbors will miss the vegetables that we shared with them.

It hasn’t rained for 3 days now. I threw in plants at a friend’s place so, I could get the ‘grow outs’ filled for various seed organizations and seed banks that I committed too. I’ve pondered building an Ark with this break in the rain. I have a soil corer for getting soil samples that can go almost 6 feet and the soil is over saturated (almost zero available oxygen) at the 5 foot mark. With clay dominate soils the hard crust disrupts the oxyfication process to a crawl. Your small container them instead of in ground. Not enough yield for the labor the compaction of working soggy soils. Once it dries here I’ll compost and let it rest until next season. But I’ll be three legged dog busy gardening at my friends place! He has West facing terraces in the hills and was unscathed by the flooding. His market crops are usually really stellar so, I’m stoked about that. Hope that your staying dry! Have a great weekend! Positive Vibrations...Mike

We have clay so the lateness does not allow really for just late planting. I won't have the amount of tomatoes, peppers etc. that I normally have but they are already setting fruit. Prices for vegetables and fruit etc. is going to skyrocket. Luckily I have a place to go and pay reasonable prices for what I need extra.

Yeah, we’re clay dominate around here, as well. Most farmers around here couldn’t afford a 3rd planting and a lot of bankruptcies have occurred because of the floods. Now they can only sit by and and watch BigAg Corporations buy up their land. Really a sad state of affairs and shouldn’t be happening. Especially, since the flooding was caused by the mismanagement and poor maintenance routines of the Corps of Engineering. Pretty pathetic how the VULTURES act like they’re do a good thing. GREED IS RAVAGING THIS COUNTRY’S CORE VALUES AND CREATING UNNECESSARY UNREST. Nobody hesitates to profit from others misfortunes these days. It’s a given in Corporate and Government sectors. Odd how it’s so accepted or brushed under the rug. I grow the bulk of what I eat myself. Being vegan allows me to get create in the gardens. I own/operate a vegan/organic urban farm on about 20,000 sq ft (about a half acre) and run a seed production on it as well. This season I have as many acres as I want to use at my disposal, but I’ll probably plant out about an acre when it’s all said and done. I figure I can double my canning yield and stay ahead of the food game.

understand what you are saying. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer. We put up a lot too. I work our meals around my summer produce.With using the large pots, won't be as much but I do have access to a lot of local raised that I can obtain super cheap. EX. 3 dozen ears of corn for $1. or small cukes for a penny apiece.

It pays to know folks in the loop when it comes to food!! I have the same here. I know so many growers that I don’t worry about eating. I just hate depending on someone for what I can produce. More of a personal aggravation than an issue, though. I came from the farm and we produced just about everything we needed. I think my folks went to town about every 6 months for any kind of provisions. Us kids rarely went because our friends and happenings were already around us. Town was boring and FULL of rules. We had barn dances and social events every weekend that blew away anything happening in town! I wish I had raised my family on the farm instead of the city. It was much more trying, for sure. Now I rely on my grandchildren to keep me entertained. They do an excellent job when they’re around, but once they leave it’s back to daydreaming... Life is weird like that.

I know what you are saying. I grew up in the country as well and we grew most everything we needed. The grocery store was for things like toilet paper and cereal and the like. About the only time I did not have a garden was when I was moving around for the company I worked for and I went home every weekend and got stuff from my dad's garden and weeded and worked with the beef herd as I was the only one who knew all the cows and their babies.I let my dad keep my girl Tracy and her heifer calves, so he would have a ready and willing surrogate mom. Glad to have a garden again and be able to just walk out and get what I want warm and sun kissed.

I was wondering where are the people going that are flooded out? Can they return to their farms yet?

Any body have any idea why this: Bidding disabled due to suspension shows on pages that I just look at?
