Endlich beginnt der Frühling wieder! Es geht auch schon voll zur Sache – eine Schubkarre voll Unkraut hier, ein Beet dort ausgesät, und die ersten Radieschen bahnen sich ihren Weg.

Spring is finally starting again! Things are already in full swing – a wheelbarrow full of weeds here, a bed sown there, and the first radishes are making their way.

Rural Banter in Cork

Tucked away on the serene Sherkin Island in County Cork, I stumbled upon a timeless moment that felt plucked from another era. Two older men, clearly no strangers to the soil beneath them, were deep in conversation.

This photo was taken in 2015 while on a visit to the island. I hope they are still living on the island, chatting away.

Two elderly men converse surrounded by tall grass and greenery on Sherkin Island, Cork, Ireland. One seated on a vintage red tractor, while the other stands beside him gesturing mid-conversation, both dressed in workwear and bathed in warm sunlight.

Honest agriculture is local and regional. It is not factory farming. It is not trying to grow water intensive crops in the desert.

It is food security by more traditional means, not corporate profiteering. Not necessarily without tools, but definitely without disregard for the present and future growing conditions. Honest agriculture is reality based, focusing on the needs of the community.

To Garden Honestly Adrian Ayres Fisher originally published by Ecological Gardening March 26, 2025 Honest gardening requires that we take stock of and work within existing conditions, that we don’t try to make the garden something that it isn’t or couldn’t be. Honest gardening is a kind of truth telling, the way art or literature can be. About the image: The great painter Joan Mitchell spent her childhood in Chicago. She once said she painted from nostalgia. The impressionist style image of a golden wheat field with purpose stalks in the foreground is from a large, astonishing, lively work worth seeing in its entirety. I photographed it at the Tate Modern, London in 2024. "This geographic location, this history, this soil, climate, air, this piece of what was an oak woodland savanna, now built up, and moving into a future of climate change and extreme weather. This is gardening with something that feels like memory, of this place as it might have been 150 years or so ago. It is gardening with something that feels like nostalgia for an imagined future of restored ecosystems and societal health but is most likely planning for a range of possible futures ranging from dire to less dire, and always hoping for the survival of biodiversity, of ecosystem complexity."

@Blueteamsherpa When I see that millions spontaneously took to the streets in Germany (84,000,000 inhabitants) because a candidate for chancellor had accepted the votes of the ultra-right for a decision, I've actually been waiting far too long for the crowds in the USA.

This is a part of his #eugenics ideology, and it's you, the non-superrich people of the US, he wants to kill!

My notes for setting the rotavator up, so I don't have to struggle through the Japanese manual every time.

The auto-tilt is so cool. There's a sensor somewhere and a tilt piston on the right 3PH arm. So when the tractor falls with one wheel into a ditch, the piston keeps the rotavator level, resulting in perfectly straight fields from uneven ground. In 1984 this must've been revolutionary.

Still haven't figured out what the feedback lever is for 🤷

Notes for setting up a rotavator on an Iseki tractor, with illustrations copied from the Japanese manual but labeled in English and with my own coloured markings on.
Second page of the same, here explaining the secret controls under the seat and the tilt control panel.

It's time!
And by that I mean, not only is it springtime, and all of us in the Pacific Northwest and most of the rest of the northern hemisphere should be starting our food crops, but... it's TIME, also. As in, politically, socially, and everything-else-ally, we all need to grow some food.
