I am a gardener. A life long organic gardener who's goal has always been to grow organic food and create aesthetic landscaping that is sustainable, native, and promotes the general welfare of the planet. I'm also an urban gardener who's plot of land is a small 100x50 including a big 1914 old house. I have gardened and developed this small plot for 25 years. My veggie garden is a raised bed that measures 150 square feet. This year it looks like the dust bowl.

This evening's music features delta blues harmonica player and singer, also a member of the Jelly Roll Kings, Frank Frost.

Good Morning, 99%'ers! Today is the second day of our roofing experience. Yesterday, before the roofers left, they asked if it would be okay if they came at 6:30 am today. I am sure they wanted to get ahead of the heat as it was obvious the heat was a factor for them yesterday. But that also means that they will be here before daylight. So we will all be waiting for the sunrise tomorrow morning.

This evening's music features The Empress of the Blues, Bessie Smith.

Good morning 99percenters!
I don't have time to put a decent OT together so this will have to do. This Tuesday time slot is now open if someone would like to take it. If someone wants to put together a better OT, have at it, I can delete this one later. Thanks.
