Ahh summer. No tomatoes to harvest thanks to the weird weather. They are coming along slowly. Everything else is doing well. I got to jump on the rider and mow, so the place actually looks good.

Joan’s mom came out to help while my wrists are healing up. I harvested and did what I could. I fixed the charger in the RV, so that felt good. Now I can use lithium instead of the cheap rv batteries.

Alright....if the mountain does not decide to blow...next year I promise more companion plants vs crop plants. Friggin bugs got all my peppers. That was part of yesterday, but forgot to talk about it till somebody asked about the peppers. Too far to think about now, but maybe a reminder will pop up. Cheers

I’m not happy with myself right now. I had to come to the realization I cannot repair electrical systems any more. My tremors make it so I can’t get a screwdriver on a screw without two hands. Need a third to hold what I am trying to connect. Shake and touch wires with tools that I should not. Luckily my stuff was insulated. It is a long fall from being on the Pentium 4 team with Intel. Now they wouldn’t let me sweep the floors. Part of getting old I guess. Broke truck, broke rv, broken will, just broke.
Pic is where I post from at corner of Williams Creek and South Bank.
Gonna head back to Oly now and enjoy what’s almost free.

2 Guys and a Garden

This is about a USMC Combat Vet and an Army Vet healing each other...

I have a very Green thumb. After I got out of the USMC, I struggled, but I managed to get a Degree in IT and have a 17 year career. At the end of my career, my PTSD symptoms manifested in a way that made me 100% Disabled and declared Unemployable. I sought, and received help through the VA, but it was not enough. I sought out how I could help others and found a local organization where I could put my green thumb to use and help others. It worked for a while, but I am empathetic and could not handle what I was taking on. I was unprepared for that. I started to help by teaching Vets to grow their own cannabis online and one day received some feedback: “...since I got into my plants, my rage is lower, I feel like I am not so angry, and I can’t wait to smoke it!” The last part might seem funny, but for a struggling Vet, sometimes looking forward to something is all they need to live another day. If a Vet can experience that kind of healing from just the 3 months it takes to grow a plant, why not reach for more.

So, with a dream in mind, I sought out a small property where I could have some raised garden beds available for Vets to come and grow whatever they wanted (no cannabis on this property). It is not about what is harvested, but the process of growing that is important. Some Vets need a mission, a task, something to look forward to. Planting a seed is a great way for a Vet to have a period of time with a goal to aim for, creating anticipation and sometimes excitement. What may seem like a simple process ultimately can lead to healing.

My best friend, Brian, has been my ride or die wing-man for a few years. He has an amazing attention to detail and can build just about anything. He will be building the taller raised beds for wheelchair access and seated gardening. He has been instrumental in helping me keep focused, encouraged, and motivated.
