How Does Your Garden Grow

With rocks and ruts and switchback stunts? Yes this is primarily a mountain bike and biking blog and this weekend there will be a stupendous event in this, the greater Milwaukee Area.

It is the WORS Collectivo Coffee Bean Classic, at Waukesha’s Minooka Park; Sunday. If you don’t ride, spectating is free, except for the parking. And if for some strange reason spectating does not excite you and you don’t plan to race, there are plenty of other things to do in the park.

Unfortunately my schedule and limited resources, mainly having only one car for two people, do not allow me to participate. Nor will I partake of The Polish Moon Ride. It is tonight and it is raining, with warnings out. It sounds like a great time that both I and my wife could enjoy together. Includes food and dancing. Oh well. There is always next year.

Yes, we were in New York last weekend. Not a garden paradise, but our garden did not suffer our absence. Actually caught some of the Tour de Fraud, or France as some people like to say, coverage on the Hotel cable.

And if you would like to garden but do not feel knowledgeable enough, I must recommend Charles Dowding, on YouTube. Grows organic and does stuff like growing the same thing in the same place every year to see what happens.

My very first beet.

If you want to get down on all that, garden and health and vegan stuff, watch John Kohler. He has a few videos where he comments on all the malice and hate he receives from other vegans, because he doesn’t demand everyone in the world be vegan.

Now, if you want to go homestead, but just a little, and still remain bound to civilization, Becky’s Homestead is the place to be. “Farm living is the life for me.” Just a couple acres and lots of good neighbors. And she is a single mom who started with no money. “What did you say? I got no money.”

For you, “Money!” types there is always the Urban Farmer. The Urban Farmer. I know of no other (on YouTube).

If you are truly the eat your own food type, regenerative farming fanatic, permaculture junky, I must recommend two sites full of chickens, sheep, cows, rabbit, duck, orchards, organic beds, fruitful fields and the growing of hops so that you can make your own beer on the farm. They would be the sites of John Suscovich (looks like he did it all in six years) and Richard Perkins.

See! See how I brought everything back to mountain biking. Yes!!! The beer, making your own beer.

I just drink the NA varieties.

Cucumbers and the infamous bitter melons are producing. They say if you keep chewing something bitter it will turn sweet. Heard that from Reverend Moon and again later from Dr. Axe.

The $157 question: What were my three most favorite WORS races? Keeping the same question. Check out the Charity Jackpot Page link in the sidebar to possibly triple the amount.
