Wow!
Take a look at this video about June Taylor Jams and see what food artisanship looks like. Amazing fruit, jams and video. I watched this as I was having lunch today and it made me hungry all over again.
Truly garden products as art.

Water timers -- a reply to a Real World Green Video from Eric Rochow
agn@welchwrite.com (Douglas E. Welch)Author: Douglas E. Welch
Tue, Aug 19, 2008
Eric Rochow, over at Real World Green recently posted a video on using water timers for your sprinkling systems. The timer he showed in the video looked to be a volume-based time, measuring gallons instead of time. I have found that these work OK with traditional lawn sprinklers, but not so well with my drip and soaker systems, which use dramatically lower water pressure.
Instead, I use these clockwork water timers, from Gardena. Using timers like these, along with drip and soaker irrigation, ease the tedious job of watering, put the water exactly where it is needed and prevent you from forgetting that you have left the sprinklers on -- running up your water bill.
You can watch Eric's original video below my reply.

Video: Taking out a Tree
agn@welchwrite.com (Douglas E. Welch)Author: Douglas E. Welch
Sat, Aug 16, 2008
Time to remove a small pine tree that was in the wrong spot in the garden. This is a continuation of the "editing" since we bought this house 12 years ago.
I had to go out and buy a bow saw to complete this job. My wife, Rosanne, had trimmed off all the limbs., but couldn't get through the trunk. It was quick work once I had the right tool.
All the debris from the tree was run through out chipper/shredder and the mulch is already spread on the tomato and rose beds.
Not a bad days work overall.

We were visiting friends today -- sitting around the pool and munching on summer foods -- and their roses caught my eye. I spent a few minutes capturing the video for this montage, just wandering from bush to bush and taking it all in.

California Wildfire Information 2008
agn@welchwrite.com (Douglas E. Welch)Author: Douglas E. Welch
Fri, Jun 13, 2008
It seems the wildfire season is starting early this year here in California, so I am posting (what seems to be) my yearly posting on California Wildfire Information available via the web. These services provide detailed information including fire perimeters, weather info and more. I will update this regularly as I locate new resources for the coming year.
Looking back, I see that I have re-posted this entry almost every year since 2003.
