Feels like spring has come and gone and its summer. Planting update – Spencer ate the corn, planting beds outside – lots of free discarded – “not good enough to sell” plants. Truck MVI Wood for the chicken coop Matt’s new job – back working for a University, back in housing – looking forward to it. Sad to be leaving the supermarket and the nice people – but not the anti-social hours. Leaving pay not too bad (for this area) but new pay better. Is this going backwards on the downshifting thing? AJ working through torrential rain, baking heat, bug plagues Bug update – we were premature last time – they come and go – lots today though. Need a screen house tent thingy Bad Things AJ – bugs Matt – bugs Good things AJ – plants Matt – weather and having weekends back

Not retiring at 60. 3rd attempt - very tired. Matt has had his siesta. AJ has bottled beer. AJ work placement week. Saltscapes expo. What is the difference between an exposition and exhibition? Tracey Smith in the Toronto Star. Electric poultry netting - mentioned on Geek.Farm.Life. Bagels and Baggels. Gooda and Gouda. Andrew and Misty built their own greenhouse – looking at ways to retain heat. Humidity question - good for some plants but not others. Humidity can cause problems with pests, mold or spores. We are looking for a heated winter greenhouse with dual skin. Sprouting update – what's hot and what's not Water sampling has started again Earthquake – damage in Folkestone – 475 houses damaged. 4.3 magnitude on the Richter scale. We had one in the valley of 3.2 magnitude – was 11th August 2006 so we were living here then (and didn’t notice). Google Map Records 1985 to 1997 – nothing over a 4 First tick - yuk. Don't listen while you eat! Bad Things AJ – first mosquito bite Matt – still a little chilly Good things AJ – bulbs Matt – youtube - numa numa
