Speed blogging à la gwadzilla

urban homesteading
the gardens are looking a lot better
but it's a lot of work
labor intensive
life on a farm

the aerogarden 3 lacks (sorry but it does)

Hydroton is da bomb (thanks Red Icculus)

baby praying mantises on my mini purple peppers

nature on my side for once

first crop of coffee compost rich thick and sludgy
food for future poblanos
food for fridrix

Another Pugsley

I saw another of the Pugsley diaspora tonight, parked outside a trendy Mexican joint called Yo Burrito (they should call it Slow Burrito). This one had the big tires all right, but the handlebars were of the beach cruiser variety, which I thought was odd. Sorry no picture. I looked inside for the owner; a cluster of bike helmets belied the party most likely responsible, a group of ruffians oft seen at yonder coffee house.
