Alaska to New Mexico

Life in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico. We left Homer, Alaska on June 3rd, 2009, traveling in our van loaded down with everything we need to set up housekeeping in New Mexico. We now own a small house here and are loving life in the sun. If you scroll back far enough, you'll find a complete record of our road trip.

COMPOST!

Our first batch of compost, now screened and bagged. I got some chicken manure from a neighbor and brought home bags of cow manure from the desert and the piles are producing!







I've got 4 big bags of compost now, ready to be worked into beds and two more bins of compost working.
The wind has been fierce the past few days so I made a small shadecloth fence to protect some tender jasmine and honeysuckle vines we just planted at the corner of the porch.













We had lettuce, pak choy and broccoli rab out of the greenhouse the other day.
