    How I Ended Up With 8 Different Tomato Plants When I Hate Tomatoes

    May 19, 2021 /

    I hate tomatoes. I almost never eat tomatoes and 90% of my tomato consumption comes in the form of pizza and/or tomato sauce. I don't like tomatoes on my burgers or my sandwiches and I hate tomatoes in my salads. So then why am I growing eight different tomato varieties? I will tell you why, it is Cal Poly's Tomatozania's fault...kind of.

    Well I really wish I had some great excuse, some big new to share. I wasn't sick, I didn't have any big tragedy or big success. Nothing really changed and I haven't been going through anything. Really this past month has just been a regular life month, doing everyday life things and time got away from me.

    My Brussels Sprout Experience

    I am the weirdo that really likes Brussels sprouts, always have, so I was super excited to try my hand at growing my own. I've seen them at farms before and think they are just the most bizarre looking plant, which was just a bonus.

    Why and How I Started Backyard Composting

    July 29, 2020 /

    Thanks to COVID and quarantine my days and weeks and months have somewhat started to blend, so I can't, off the top of my head, tell you when I started composting, it was sometime between March and May, but I can tell you how and why. The idea of composting in my backyard started small and slow, and then out of nowhere blew itself up into existence.

The way the water is flowing right now I have a fe The way the water is flowing right now I have a feeling I'm going to be saying this a lot, but Millard Canyon Falls is probably one of the prettiest overall hikes in the area. Not only are the falls gorgeous but the entire hike up was too. Totally worth wading through knee deep water a dozen times.

I used to do "dumb" things like this all the time I used to do "dumb" things like this all the time in Hawaii. Hiking in the rain, crossing deep, rough water. But for some reason when there's a chill in the air and the water is a bit icy, it's a bit more intimidating. No less fun, but more intimidating for sure!
