July 22, Hutchinson county, city of Tripp, South Dakota. Greetings fellow Catholic and (are you still a) serious gardener? "... the convenient life is not worth living", a sentiment with which I agree. Potatoes and cabbages do well here, as does corn, and small grains. Most of my work done with hand tools, nice shovels, Guilland forge broadfork, (best one made), and my fine Austrian scythe. (Which I raise in greeting to farmers passing the house in their big pick-ups. No scorn towards them; they need powerful trucks.) Not that anyone has asked "Why do you use all those hand tools?", but my answer to the query, "Because it's more difficult." Pax Christi. Viva Christo Rey.
I'm afraid this is a flat in an apartment building so all I've got is the little terrace. We are looking around for an orto to rent, but so far no luck. (Also the city has ordered everyone to stop watering their gardens bcs of the drought.)
