What's next?

What does life have in store  for me next? I have been giving this some thought lately and there are so many options available to me. the plethora of options is freeing and overwhelming at the same time.

My first option for after graduation is to do a solo tour of Europe for 1-2 months. Even with in this option there are many options starting off with
  1. Hitting every tourist spot in a backpacking style tour of Europe
  2. Mixing in actual tours through travel agents and such
  3. WWOOF. World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms. This would in tale an organic farm providing me room and board in exchange for 4 hours of labor a day. Seems like a pretty good deal and would be a great opportunity for hands on experience and education

Another option is have is to tour the united states. This option does take a back seat to touring Europe simply because I have driven form the Mississippi to the pacific ocean a couple of times even though I was rather young. For this trip I would want to take a route that covered the maximum amount of states and focus on the east coast which I have seen very little of. Here are a couple of samples of routes I would be interested in:

Next options would be moving in with a grandmother and garden part of her fertile 40 acres in Missouri which I figure out what next

The last option would be to get a job right away which is never a bad option but I do have an opportunity to try something different in this time before I get tied down with a job.

Weather

Finally for the 4th of July we dried out little in our Garden! This was so exciting for us because it meant our trench was dry and didn’t need to be bailed. This also meant we actually had to water out plants which has been a chore we have been able to skip most of the summer. Unfortunately our dry spell did not last long and the following week rained us out a few times. Being rained out was not all bad because we have a lot of preparations to make for our family camp coming up this month! While the weather was dry we took advantage of it though. With our dry weather we also had six little helpers in the garden. We weeded, tilled, and planted all of the plots that were still unplanted. This was so exciting for us because it has been a bit of a downer to come to the garden and not have it all planted until JULY! But it's done now. This was probably our biggest round of planting and thankfully our last. Our two largest left over plots were planted with multi-color corn and s...

Where is the Compost?

About two weeks ago I did a post about composting . That post focused a lot about how and what to compost. Here I would like to delve into more of what you need to put your compost in! I currently  compost at my parents' house in a trash can with a  lid. This works well for our lives in the city, but could be taken a lot more seriously The Tenth Acre Farm has a really good post about a few different composting bins you can have in your back yard First they talk about the good old fashioned heap which requires no additional resources. For most of us living in urban areas this will simply not work for us. Firstly this is not for me because, having a compost heap is too unsightly. Second having a compost heap is available to  neighborhood friends like bunnies, raccoons, foxes and squarls, these friends could cause you more problems than you could even imagine. Mentioned are several medium sized compost solutions. These solutions include a round wire bin tha...

What is Humus?

Humus compost is the product from our garden I would recommend for all gardeners to use in their garden even if you only have a pot on a patio. We get our humus compost for The Garden from our local University Farm at no charge. Any one from the public can also go and get some for a small fee. Compost is simply organic matter that is broken down and decomposing. Humus compost is that same organic matter that has decomposed but is then eaten by microbes. So basically microbe poop.     Humus is not only used across the country but around the world. Midwest Bio Systems , who introduced our local University into making humus, says that none of their facilities can make humus fast enough to satisfy demand. This could very well be why most of their business is educating and equipping farmers to use humus compost on their fields to cut down their cost of fertilizer. At The Garden we use it like most commercial gardeners by spreading over our plots. By just spreading a th...
