Fertilized all the tomatoes and peppers in the garden with fish emulsion. Tomatoes are looking pretty tattered — many of them have frost damage, and most have some leaves that are dry and yellowing. We’re having some warm weather now, so I expect them to perk up in the next few days.
Cut more long grass with the grass whip, raked it up, and laid it down between plants in garden. It’s pretty easy to make hay that way, but I’m sure doing a big field would be a huge pain. Still, we’ve got to figure out how to do things without using external fuel sources, so even if cutting hay by hand is slow it’s a good thing.
I was going to say cutting hay by hand was “inefficient” when I really meant slow. It’s not inefficient to do something without our fossil fuel slaves, it’s actually more efficient when you look at the total cost of using ancient sunlight.
