I share my journey to a life in balance with nature in videos and words. I also write fiction to cope with the social and climate crises. I am an idealistic dreamer with a heavy dose of realism. Looking for a job in science communication/journalism.

The winter vetch has taken over the local wild meadow. I am a fan.

Die Wicken haben die Wildwiese im Ort eingenommen. Ich bin begeistert.

A wild meadow with yellow flowers (hawk's beard) in the foreground. Vetch has climbed up the grass as far as the eye can see with its pretty purple flowers. In the distance are bushes and trees.

Got to check on the garden yesterday. It is amazing how quickly nature recaptures what I used. The growth is pretty diverse, so I am okay with that. It looks like there will be some potatoes after all, a good harvest of garlic, some onions, maybe it'll work out that I get seeds off the spinach and corn salad. The berry bushes are looking good, well, all except three.

I am very excited to get them into the ground in the next garden.

Kate's garden: the greenhouse is on the left. Green is taking over everywhere. Tall grasses, thistles, various types of „weeds“ everywhere. In the background, the spinach has grown into a tall thicket. The sky is cloudy and gray.

The garlic green and the entire bouquet of chive blossoms landed in the mixer. Pesto instead of trash. Use instead of waste.

Against my fear, the blossoms didn't even weirdly color the pesto. And so delicious with notes of garlic and onion.

Das abgeschnittene Grün der Knoblauchzehen und der Strauß Schnittlauchblüten verschwanden im Mixer. Pesto statt Müll. Verwendung statt Verschwendung.

Wider Erwarten haben die Blüten das Pesto nicht mal farblich komisch werden lassen. Und so lecker mit den Noten von Knoblauch und Zwiebel.

Nice! I hope it gets to do its thing before the boat has to leave.

Coot gotta coot. How long were you docked there before the coot made your boat their nesting site? Are there eggs yet?

Harvested some young nettles in the garden yesterday along with some purple dead nettles. Sautéed that up with some butter, salt, and pepper, and served it from a bread experiment I bought yesterday. Local farmer was trying out a new wholewheat flour type, and I happened by the shop at just the right time. Eat those weeds.

Gestern im Garten ein paar Brennnesseln und purpur Taubnesseln geerntet. Die gab's dann heute in Butter angebraten mit Salz, Pfeffer und einem Brotexperiment. War gestern zur genau richtigen Zeit im Hofladen. Sie hatten mit einem neuen Vollkornmehl gebacken. Unkraut wird Beikraut, wenn man es isst.
