The last path to homestead entry was April 2023; so much has happened since! We moved the hydroponics to the greenhouse for improved yields as the very niche wasabi project failed when summer temperature exceeded the tolerances.

Home is Where the Heart Is
The age-old saying “the home is where the heart is” comes to mind as I move to back to Washington. The exact origin of this saying is not certain (probably the 1800s). The meaning of the phrase is polysemous in that it can suggest that we gravitate to where we come from (Lady A song)Continue reading “Home is Where the Heart Is”
