The Pantry Shrine

Taking a photo of my dehydrator next to the opening to my pantry reminded me to show the beaded curtain I finally finished!

 After working on making even more beads to add to my collection from last winter, I finally had enough, but barely. That door frame is very tall! It could still stand to be another foot longer, but I'm too tired of beading. Such a long process demanding much patience which I am lacking. My beaded partition is good enough for now. I'll take a break and perhaps at another time I'll attempt to make another hundred beads.

Love the turquoise beads. Actually, I love all the colors. There are three different purples, four different pinks, two blues, two greens, only one, lovely turquoise color, and about ten white beads thrown in to match the white trim of the room plus the off-white bamboo tube beads that match the off-white trim of the kitchen. Close ups:

The pantry is still being used as a shrine. I have no desire to get it dirty or scratch it up. I've made art for it, in matching colors. HA! This is The Bunnysattva of Binkies:

A "binky" is what they call it when a rabbit jumps straight up in the air and twists. It's how they play when they are happy. A "half binky" is when they shake their head like a mini-twist and sometimes they will raise up a little, but they are sitting or standing still. Peter does that all the time. It means he's happy to see me, but he's too fat to jump. He didn't start doing it until I had him about six months. At first I thought something was wrong with him, like ear mites or an ear infection. I got online and discovered the world of bunny binkies. Such a happy thing. I wanted something happy in my pantry shrine.

...And something needed to hang from those pegs, but because I have such an aversion to putting anything in this room that isn't part of the color scheme and design, I decided to custom create it. I used a piece of scrap wood for the base because I didn't have any small canvases. I have lots of these little scrap wood pieces. The dimensions are 5 1/2 x 5 1/2 x 1 so it has a three-dimensional quality which prompted me to give the sides some design.

 

It's different, but the cool thing is it can stand up on a shelf or counter. This inspires me.

I think I just found my new winter project!

Peter, the Senior Citizen

Yum! Yum! I love Brazil nuts.

I think Peter is vision-impaired. Or blind. I've noticed in the last month when he hops to me for a treat he nearly runs into my boots. He never used to do that. And finding the treat I'm holding in my hand is difficult for him. Today I waved the treat in front of his eyes. He has no idea where it is. I have to put it right at his mouth for him to stop frantically searching for it. I wonder if his sense of smell is gone, as well? He's been really jumpy, too, but he's responding to my voice more. His huge radar ears are working fine.




I didn't think much of this until a few days ago when I watched him hop toward the front yard. As you may recall, he was banned from the front yard all last summer for eating too much. Last fall when I opened it up again, he didn't bother. I wondered if he was just conditioned not to go into the front yard. He eventually rediscovered "snack heaven", but still rarely ventured away from the backyard.

 

About a week ago I sealed off the front yard entrance again since the new plants have begun to sprout and I want to give them a chance to grow before he snacks them down to nothing.  This time I used chicken wire. I watched him hop right into it! He wasn't going very fast, but he hopped without hesitation, hit the wire with his nose, nudged around a little checking it out, and then stopped. At first I thought maybe he couldn't focus on the thin wire, but now I'm wondering if he's vision is greatly impaired.

I'm feeling badly for him. It can't be fun. I'm going to need to not move things around so much as if he is blind, it's got to be stressful.



Searching...farm boots = treats
 

He just turned seven years old. I wonder what that is in human years?  Perhaps this is the beginning of the end? He seems very healthy otherwise.

The War Zone

Operations: In the last week I've planted squash, marigolds, lettuce, beets, carrots, radishes, petunias, alyssum, ice plants, ground covers, speedwell, sunflowers, cilantro, violas, cucumbers, salipigosis, African daisies and some other flowers but I can't remember what they are called. Tomorrow I transplant my tomatoes and plant my beans and then THAT'S IT! I'm finished.

The bean starts died (too damp) and I decided not to plant more starts. They will go directly into the ground. The tomatoes as you can see are doing fine, although a little sun and wind shocked from not being used to outdoors. The grape tomatoes have been insane. Within two months they were three feet high and I had to transplant them into these bigger pots. I just hope I don't damage them in the transplanting process. The Roma tomatoes are doing fine although I think they are eager to get out of their little pots. (See them over to the right in the corner.) Basil has been transplanted (behind that glass window frame above) and I'm trying to keep them warm.

Enemy Combatant: Unknown Perpetrator. I transplanted my pumpkin starts. Since the first pumpkin starts died and I had to start over so these were very precious to me. See...aren't they sweet?

Decapitated Pumpkins

Oops! Where'd they go? You can just see one stem sticking out of the mound. Something came along not more than an hour after I planted them and snipped off the leaves!!!! Left the leaves, too. Didn't even bother to eat them. I put some netting over the squash garden.

Enemy Combatant: Peter. I caught him snacking on my nicotiana. I only have two of these sweet-smelling, night-blooming plants and I like them.

Mutilated Nicotiana

Interrogation: So I'm feeling quite miffed and I holler at him. Naturally, he shakes his head which could be misunderstood as back-talk, but is actually rabbit talk for "HAPPY TO SEE YOU/DO YOU HAVE TREATS FOR ME?" He hops up to me and I say, "You BAD bunny". I scratch his head because I know he has no idea what I'm saying and I try to pick him up to move him. He doesn't like being handled so he hops out of reach, but not out of the garden.

 I decide I need to find something to protect what is left of the plant. I can't! I'm out of chicken wire, netting, plastic containers, cages, baskets, etc. The yard looks like a war zone as it is. So I give up.

Garden Side

Prisoner of War I decide to exile Peter. I head back to the garden and there he is snacking away. I try to pick him up. Nope, not happening. I follow him as he starts hopping around, just out of my reach, but he hops in detours. Zigzaggy-like so I have no idea where he is going.

Surrender and Capture Frustrated at this game he's playing, I pounce on him and pick him up. He doesn't even fight which is really weird. And good lord, he's a dead weight! I haven't carried him in about four years and he's gotten quite hefty. But he doesn't fight! No kicking or lurching. He just hangs there. So strange. I only walk him about five feet before I have to put him down because he's so damn heavy and he hops to the back. I close the gate. He is in exile...and on a diet.

Peter's Side: Rabbit Prison

Spoils of War: I found some treasures today. I was digging a very deep hole to transplant my new-freebie rosemary bush...

...and I found this really lovely rock. Are there any paleontologists out there? Is it worth anything? I hope so. Maybe it's a dinosaur bone fossil? Or some rare amber? 

I also found myself a luxury car today. Just what I needed. The universe knows. I found it right around the same spot I found the fighter jet so I'm tempted to dig up the garden and see what else might be there.

That's all the news from your friendly wartime correspondent.

UPDATE: It might be a "Carnelian Agate" which is used for protection and peace. Cool. I need some protection and peace with my new neighbor moving next door in two weeks!

Entertainment, Part Two: Organic Gardening

Believe it or not, there are advantages to being chemically sensitive and one of them is being introduced to the world of chemically-free living and natural healing. Organic products become a priority when conventionally-grown, chemically-saturated food is the anti-Christ, but what is the guarantee the food in grocery stores is organic? In addition, the exorbitant prices of organics take some getting used to after a lifetime of cheap, chemically-grown food. What better way to be assured of quality control and to save some money than to grow your own!?

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I would be a gardener. I grew up surrounded by agriculture and as a child being a farmer meant you failed at life. You didn't get out. I dreamed of living in a big city, being successful at some prestigious career, and making lots of money. If I had gardens, I'd have gardeners to work in them.

The highest score on my pre-college admission test was in agriculture. No way. I was horrified and convinced the test was flawed or someone scored it incorrectly. Besides if I'm supposed to be a farmer, why go to college? I associated gardening with dirty, uneducated, uncivilized people who hung around cows and pigs all day. I thought gardening would be my personal hell. Who would have known it would be so joyful and satisfying? 

Right about the time I became chemically sensitive, I developed a fascination with herbs, their medicinal value and medieval folklore. I didn't have the property to grow fresh produce, but I did have a patio. I'd start small.  Once I was ready to move into a house with a yard, I had grown a container garden totaling forty-three different herbs. I also knew I would be giving up my former city lifestyle and embracing country living, and gardening was at the top of my list of new adventures. I had no idea how to garden, but I was determined to learn.

Gardening is a no-brainer if one is apt to use chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, conventionally-grown starter plants and treated seeds. What could go wrong? Without chemicals, the gardening novice needs to learn the skills and knowledge that have been developed over centuries of experience and accumulated long before chemicals even appeared on the scene. This was my challenge. I was excited. 

So...stick a seed in some dirt, water it, and like magic, you've got food, right? Not hardly. My first misconception was I'd never have to shop at a grocery store for produce for the rest of my life. It was a rude awakening to find out if you plant in the spring, most of the veggies won't even be ready until August or September and then only for a couple weeks. Where's the fresh produce for the winter??? What about fall and spring, too? I haven't graduated to year round gardening, but it is limited anyway.

Before chemicals ruled the earth, there were a variety of food preservation methods used so meats, fruits and vegetables could be eaten year round: root cellar storage, drying, and canning, for instance. I canned my first couple years in the country and it was another new and wonderful experience. I loved seeing all the pretty glass jars on my shelves. Problem with canning is it's not fresh food! I hate canned food so I ended up giving most of it away. Then I found out the lid seals are made with the toxic chemical bisphenol A (BPA). Eewww....

This green thumb
 looks radioactive! HA!

The real challenge with organic gardening is making sure the plants live to maturity. There are all kinds of garden enemies to deal with: bugs, slugs, fungus, mold, scale, mildew, bacteria, moles, voles, raccoons, cats, deer, watering problems, weather issues, weeds, weeds, and more weeds. It's a war zone out there. Without chemical enhancements, you must find other ways to strengthen and protect the plants from their enemies. It's a science...well, yeah, botany, biology, and chemistry all rolled into one. But more importantly, it's a skill. A talent. Having a green thumb in organic gardening means you work very hard and have a whole brain full of tricks!

Here are brief summaries of some basic organic gardening tricks I discovered:

Companion Planting  Just like it sounds...some plants make good companions for other plants. They strengthen, support and often provide nutrients to each other that they wouldn't normally get on their own. Some plants protect other plants from insects or they attract good insects that will eat the bad insects attracted to their companion. On the other hand, some plants are not good companions and will stunt growth or steal nutrients. It's a system of allies and enemies.

I made all kinds of garden maps to keep it straight. Lots of work, but the planning was very exciting to me and I spend all winter preparing and rethinking strategies. Sorry the examples below were done in pencil so they are hard to see. Click on them for a better view.

Three Sisters Plan 2006

Front Yard Plan 2012

Some years I have strayed away from companion planting, but the years I stick with it I've had the healthiest and biggest plants. The first year I had a turnip the size of a soccer ball and the next year one of my beets won a blue ribbon for largest at the county fair!

This theory of gardening isn't conducive to the traditional row gardening one imagines. I had one acquaintance look at my first garden with the companion plants all intermixed with herbs and exclaim, "Well, I like my other friend's garden better. She has a real garden. One with rows." Gee, thanks, annoying acquaintance! Yes, rows are pretty, but not always smart.

Moon Planting  This is planting according to the moon phases. It's how farmers have been planting crops since the beginning of time. It is what we call in modern times The Farmers' Almanac. Now  instead of oral traditions passed down through generations, it's a bound book!

The basic theory of moon planting is seeds are sown or plants transplanted during the first three weeks of the moon phase (1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters) depending on what kind of plant it is. Herbs are always grown or transplanted during the 1st quarter. It is believed during these phases the moon pulls at the earth's gravity assisting growth. Plants are then strengthened making it easier for them to resist diseases and pests. The fourth quarter is a bit of a anti-gravity time and this is when you would apply fertilizers, pest controls and weed. If you weed during the fourth quarter, the weeds don't come back! I don't know if this is true as I have so many weeds I can't tell, but I like the idea. It's like a fairytale. 

Ed Hume's Garden Almanac is available at most garden supply stores for about $1.79. It will have the calendar dates according to the current year's moon phases and tell you month by month, day by day exactly what to do and when.

Moon planting was really fun because people thought I was a little loony. I was always saying things like, "Oh, no, I can't do that now I have to wait until second quarter." "Oh, that would be best during first quarter, but only if you harvest during third quarter in Sagittarius." They'd laugh and shake their heads, but I enjoyed having knowledge that no one else seemed to have. Moon planting in combination with companion planting was extremely challenging. I have to admit, I still keep an eye on the dates, but I'm not as strict as I used to be.

Feeding and Fertilizing  There are all kinds of natural substances an organic gardener may use for fertilizing. Ashes from your fireplace will replenish potassium in the soil. Egg shells are good for potassium, too, but slugs love to eat them. Bone meal adds phosphorus. Winter cover crops such as crimson clover may be planted to replenish nitrogen.

Various manures are also very high in nitrogen. Chicken manure is the highest, but messy and smelly. Rabbit manure is second highest and also not "hot" so it can be used right away. The third best is horse manure, but pasture weed seeds infiltrating your soil is a hassle. Don't use cow manure because of e coli contamination.


I've been using rabbit manure for a few years, but only on certain plants. Although Peter is a very hard-working bunny, he really doesn't produce enough for a whole yard. Last fall I found a local rabbitry willing to unload what they had and I transported sixteen garbage cans of it into my gardens. Peter was NOT happy. I'm hoping for over-sized veggies this year! We'll see.

A trick I learned for transplanting is placing alfalfa pellets (rabbit or horse food) under the plants. They are very high in nitrogen and hold water well so the newly planted roots don't dry out. Just be aware of your raccoon population. One year I transplanted all my basil, went out the next morning and a whole family of raccoons pulled them all up to get at the pellets. Grrrrr....

Railroad Nails and Old Iron Nail

There are other little tricks one learns, for instance, tomatoes love iron. I happen to have some old railroad nails I bury in the ground next to each plant. I also grow all my indoor starts in egg shells for the calcium and potassium. I know someone who's husband is a fisherman and they supplement their gardens with fish heads and guts. She gets gigantic zucchini!

Pest Control     Companion planting and moon planting strengthen plants so they are better able to resist insect attacks, and many plants, herbs in particular, are pest deterrents.

My all-purpose, natural, home-made bug deterrent recipe is made with garlic, onions, cayenne pepper and Planet Dishwashing Liquid, the all-purpose miracle soap. I liquify the onions, garlic and cayenne in a blender with a lot of water. Let it sit in a bucket for a few days. Strain. Add soap. Spray on and around the plants.

Straining Bug Spray...Stinky!!

Always apply any kind of bug spray at night when the bees are not foraging and during the fourth quarter of the moon cycle. See also my post titled, "Pest Control" for more gardening and household pest control tips.

Finished Bug Spray...Lovely!

This is but a brief summary of organic gardening. If you would like more detail on anything in particular, just comment and I'll see what I can do. The Internet is also full of information and there are thousands of books on the subject.

Happy Gardening!

The Perfect Friend: Be a Bunny

Why Peter is the perfect friend:

He doesn't wear perfume so he won't walk right into my house and wonder with a stupid look on his face why I'm choking.

He doesn't whine, You don't like my perfume! and refuse to talk to me.

He doesn't wear make-up nor does he feel self-conscious about it. He knows I appreciate his fresh face and natural look.

He doesn't poof his fur with hair mousse , hair gel, or hair spray. He does think he might look devilishly handsome that way, but he still doesn't do it.

He doesn't even go to a beauty parlor.

He doesn't wash anything in smelly laundry detergent and fabric softeners.

He doesn't wash himself with smelly soap or shampoo.

Washing His Face

He doesn't come to my door and ask me to smell his stinky body to see if it bothers me.

He wouldn't get pissy if I told him he DID stink.

I don't have to tell him not to stink every time we plan to do something because he has a good memory. I'm important enough in his life to want to remember.

He doesn't smoke cigarettes.

His friends or roommates don't stink or smoke either, so their smell isn't on him.

Sun Bathing

He doesn't tell me I'm faking it.

He doesn't tell me I'm Looney Tunes. He does, however, enjoy Bugs Bunny.

He doesn't wear treated leather coats.

He doesn't smell our air space up with microwaved junk food.

He doesn't smell like the air fresheners in his car because he doesn't put air fresheners in his car. He doesn't even have a car. He's very environmentally conscientious.

If we have to go somewhere, he lets me drive.  Not only does he not like to drive, but he doesn't even like going for a ride.

Scratch Me, Please

He doesn't give me gifts saturated in stink and get offended when I start gagging. Rabbit manure doesn't smell and is really good for the garden.

He's not into movies, concerts, theater, traveling, shopping, parties so he's not going to brag nonstop about doing these fun things to someone who can't. He thinks it's a bit like bragging to someone in a wheelchair about the joys of walking.

He doesn't care about holidays so he likes spending them alone with me. Because he spends them with me he doesn't complain about family gatherings because he believes if you don't like your family then why in the hell are you subjecting yourself to so much drama?

Looking Guilty: "I'm Just Gardening!"

He likes being outdoors and especially likes gardening.

He doesn't annoy me even when he eats my favorite plants.

He's not a religious nut, so he doesn't tell me I'm chemically sensitive because I don't go to church. Nor does he tell me I'm going to hell.

He doesn't like dogs. Such stupid animals.

He doesn't eat chocolate, but he doesn't judge me if I do nor does he say, I told you so, if I eat it and get sick. He also doesn't brag about how chocolate doesn't bother him.

Cleaning His Weapons

He protects me from strangers with loud foot thumping.



He doesn't eat gluten. He doesn't eat cookies and pie in front of me. He likes carrots, beans and apples.

He never complains. If I'm late feeding him, he gives me the stink eye, but he still never complains.

He's quiet.


He's a good listener.

He's never told me I need to lose weight. Thanks, my sweet.

Waiting Patiently

He gets excited when he sees me.

What do you think are qualities that make a good friend?

Pest Control

My neighbor is afraid of bugs so he has a professional pest control company spray his house down once a week. Can you imagine?  He seems to think over-spraying works, but his rationale makes no sense if he needs to spray constantly because the bugs keep coming back. I told him they were reproducing and creating giant, resistant mutants that can't be killed. Unfortunately, that makes him want to spray twice as often. I'm sure I gave him nightmares. Next time I'll tell him the chemicals will make his boy parts fall off....

I once lived in a basement apartment with giant spiders. The landlord seemed to have a bug fetish and wouldn't help, but what could he do that wouldn't kill me, too? Between August and October when the weather would change and spidey mating season would start, I'd see around 30 skittering over the floor in the course of the season. They were fast, ugly and BIG! About the size of my palm. I lived in fear and fear can be very motivating. The thing about bugs, they've been around forever so the trick is to find repellents that have been used since the beginning of time, back Before Chemicals (B.C.).

Actual Size

I read spiders don't like scent. Smart critters. Any scent. When I found this out I developed a new-found admiration for the creepy crawlies. The year I tried peppermint oil I saw only two spiders. It was nice - smelled like candy canes. My tolerance for essential oils has decreased since then and now I have to be careful with them as well, but I can spray  outside and under the house with no problem. Now I see maybe two spiders a year and they are of the small-ish variety.

Another miracle pest repellent is cayenne pepper. In the same apartment I had an ant infestation. They made an ant hill out in the garden and decided they liked my patio. The landlord loved ants, too. He was so incredibly useless.  So I started experimenting with various historical insect control methods. Finally I laid a line of cayenne pepper around my patio and they disappeared. Not much messes with cayenne.

I currently live near a river and when I first moved here everyone told me I'd eventually have rodents at some point. Feeling charitable toward wildlife,  I bought a bird feeder and started feeding the birds. What a mistake! The ratties were grateful and stored up a winter supply of bird feed. That winter I could hear them gnawing at my walls. It echoed through the house at night. Good lord, I felt helpless! I was so grateful they never got in the house, but they always sounded like they were within a half inch from breaking through. <shiver> Someone scared me to death and said they can nibble on the electrical wires and burn down a house.  I also read a rat shit is a theory for the cause of breast cancer. Jeez. I tried traps, but I'd find them triggered with the food gone. Poisons killed them off, but their dead bodies stunk up the house for three weeks  and a new tribe would move in the next week and continue the gnawing. Besides I'm opposed to poisons and with Peter running free I fear he'll somehow get into it and die a horrible death. If there is any way possible, I prefer to keep pests away rather than kill them. Even rats. So I started putting cayenne pepper around and under the house with the peppermint oil.  No more ratties! I go to Winco or Costco and buy it in bulk.

Actual Size

I lived in Arizona a few years back. It was the first time I'd ever seen a cockroach.  I swear it was the size of a cat. And friendly! It came skittering toward me one day, and stopped. I think it was waiting for me to feed it. When they skitter at night it sounds like they are tap dancing. Normally I would have been impressed. I tried everything to get rid of them. Yes, them...he brought the rest of his family. Finally I read boric acid does the trick, but you have to dust it lightly in corners because cockroaches are smart. And clean. They prim and wash themselves like cats. So when they walk in the boric acid dust, it gets on their little legs, they lick and die. Also, check to see where they are coming in: around sink drains, under counters and plug up any holes you find.  A construction trick down in Arizona is to put boric acid under the foundation. It'll kill anything including termites. The problem is you can't use it freely if you have pets or children. It'll kill them, too.

Garden pests are discouraged with things like soap (Planet Ultra Dishwashing Liquid, the All-Purpose Miracle Soap!), onion/garlic tea and cayenne pepper. I am very careful with these home remedies in the garden because I don't want it to chase the good bugs away so I don't do too much.  Companion planting keeps the plants strong so they can resist invaders on their own and there are some plants that deter bugs so I grow them around plants that need extra protection.  

Slugs...Why did the universe make slugs? I don't see their purpose in the grand scheme of things. I've tried salt, beer, copper, garlic, tomato leaves, pine needles, killing them by hand with a sharp instrument, drowning them in water, and talking sweetly to the snakes and black beetles so they stay in my yard and eat them. I almost got some ducks then decided the ducks would cause more damage than the slugs. It was a full-time job. Finally someone told me about Sluggo which is iron phosphate and supposedly certified organic. It works quite well.

For aphids, if there aren't enough ladybugs or ants helping out, I've used Planet Ultra Dishwashing Liquid, the All-Purpose Miracle Soap. Most bugs don't like soap as it suffocates them and Planet is scent-free so it's not going to suffocate me. Also, aphids don't like chives so grow chives around your rose bushes.

I have a rabbit and I've read wild rabbits that will move into your yard and destroy your grass and plants won't go near cayenne pepper. I thought I'd try it so if I wanted to keep Peter out of a particular garden, this might work. Fifteen minutes after I applied it, I found bunny boy sitting in it. Maybe Peter is just a goof ball? His eyes did get watery, but it doesn't seem to faze him. Maybe it gives him a thrill? Rabbit masturbation?

I used to love cats, then I moved where over-breeding is an epidemic. Many of the neighbors have cats that breed incessantly, and the litters from the previous season all have their own kittens. One house nearby has a minimum of eighteen new kittens every spring and they do nothing to control it.

You know cats don't crap in their own yards - they go to the neighbors'. I have vegetable gardens and nothing disgusts me more than the thought of eating food grown in parasite-contaminated cat shit. Pregnant women are advised not to garden unless they want to give birth to brain-dead babies because of these parasites. And then there is the smell and mess. UGH! Be sure to always wear gloves while gardening. I sometimes catch cats sleeping in my bunny's sleeping places which is incredibly irritating since the rabbit can't find many other rest places. Damn free-loading cats giving my bunny fleas and worms!

Cat from Hell

I've tried nearly everything: cayenne, lemon peel, boric acid, peppermint oil.  Two of my neighbors trap cats and "take them away"; another traps and then douses them with cold water. The other neighbor shoots them. Her rule is if they are walking through the yard she uses a bb gun; if they are crapping, a shot gun. I really don't understand cat owners who allow their cats to roam. Besides the cats that spread disease to wildlife (and pet bunnies), they are also subjected to wildlife diseases. Not caring for your cat properly is so irresponsible, but people don't care. It's disgusting. Again, I prefer to keep the pests away than kill them. The only remedy I've found that works for cats is chicken wire and deer netting, but that gives my yard a certain concentration camp look that I don't enjoy. Oh, well.

Anti-Cat Concentration Camp Decor

Anyone have any other chemical-free tricks?
