I can't believe how incredible your corn worked out - I must get on it this year as I always give up due to the lack of water, but if you can do it in California surely I can too!!!! Hive is so inpsiring!!!!
Yay, jalapenos. That's oone crop I'm doing lots more of this year for sure!!!! I just love them, and since I've figured out how to do the hot sauce I need even more!

It does help that we have a well here that pumps out of the ground. There is an underground river here, and you don't have to drill deep to get water. But I do wonder how long that will last with all the row crops here.
And yeah I never can get enough spice in my life :)
Haha, spice is the best - well, the hot chilli kind that's for 100 percent!
Having a well is amazing. It is a worry though with agriculture - time to look at other methods. I did here recently that in Russia there's a LOT of backyard farmers that feed into the whole food supply chain rather than big monocultures. That's the way forward I think. We're going to have to make some big changes and I'm sooo worried about drought coming back here as we went through eight years of a bad one when I was in my 20's and it really traumatised a lot of us.
It is true. Here where I live they grow 80% of the world’s lettuce, and a good portion is destroyed in order to not flood the market. With all these corporations buying farms, and living far away from them, they do not care what damage they are doing.
