Finished fixing up an old 1987 EZGO Marathon golf

Finished fixing up an old 1987 EZGO Marathon golf cart that was given to us a few days ago.
I thought it turned out pretty nice without putting much money in it. I had to buy a few new things but found some good used parts also.
It blows my mind how much golf carts cost these days so this was a great way to end up with a nice affordable cart.

When it comes to improving garden soil I have quite a few GREAT books in my library and I've shared quite a few. Here is another one worth having on your shelf.

I guess I better get on top of the elderberry harvest before the birds beat me to it. Always need to have a good stock of elderberry syrup on the homestead.

Not homesteading, gardening, or permaculture, so not the kind of book I would usually post about but if you are running any kind of business from your homestead this is a great book.

I guess I have to quit saying "I never win anything" because I signed up for a giveaway contest from @chelseagreenbooks a few weeks and can you believe it, I won!
What a great bunch of books! I already have a couple of them so those will go to friends but I can't wait to dive into the rest of them.
Chelsea Green Publishing Rocks! (And not just because I won, they really are great)

It has been decided that netting for minnows, frogs, and crawdads is more fun than fishing so we're doing that instead.

Just shredded over a dozen super-sized zucchinis to bag up and freeze for zucchini bread and patties later but I had to go ahead and make a couple of loaves right away.
Now the house smells so good I don't want to go outside to get the rest of my to-do list done.

Do you vermicompost? If you have an old bathtub or a large tote you can do it.
It's a pretty simple process. Worms eat your scraps, organic waste, manure, etc. And poop out castings that will bless your garden.
If you do it outside make sure you set up in a shady spot but with a proper setup you can easily do it in your house.
