Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 08/02/2025First seeds planted of the season, black locust trees, future source of nitrogen fixation, pollinator food, sheep forage, and high quality fuel wood 0271
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 08/02/2025The peepers have announced that Spring has arrived 060
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 01/02/2025For me the potential of Spring starts in February. Not quite done with Winter rest, but new stirrings beckon. Time to prepare the soul to steward a new growth of creation, envision, acquire seeds, prune and plant trees, plan for new animals, and as always, pray 050
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/01/2025I don’t have a favorite season, every season is an experience to be witness to 5462
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 18/11/2024I’ve heard a couple of explanations of this, that RFK is selling out and/or this is a dominance ritual imposed by Trump, but just hear me out: eating the burger is a sacrifice he must make to the seed oil gods in order to clear the way for the Good Works 3161
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 02/07/2023Geeking out about the aesthetics of this cabbage and broccoli bed in different lighting a couple hours apart 080
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/06/2023The critiques also beg the question, growth of what? GDP as an indicator of societal health is so discredited at this point it's hard to take seriously. You can have growth, but only if you have a holistic indicator that accounts for natural capital, pollution, inequality, etc 130
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/05/2023She's coming back tonight, and we decided to do something with the upper level as well. Perennials from around our place, including comfrey, strawberry, oregano, lemon balm, fern, rhubarb, mint, and chives. Most are aggressive expanders, so well let them compete for space 000
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/05/2023Looks like we'll be getting some grapes and apples this year 170
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/05/2023Lush green after 2 days of rain. Most garden beds have something coming up 1100
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 24/05/2023We built this treehouse for our kids, but it doubles as a meditation and siesta spot 180
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 21/05/2023Wife is taking a week long work trip out of the country, and the 5-year old wanted to make a butterfly garden for when she gets back. And so we did The 2nd level bed will be another project for another day 181
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 17/05/2023Finished first round of planting basically everything I wanted to get in. Still have plenty of bed space left to tinker with. It's always something to think about the massive amount of ecological intelligence and potential in that soil, ready to shape the surrounding substrate according to its logic 0112
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 15/05/2023In the garden we inevitably get volunteer plants in the beds from previous years. My view is, if they want to grow there, they get to (seen here: potato and mustard green) 070
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 14/05/2023It is our view that if humans are going to survive the future they will need to move towards bioregional patterns of organization. This is a good primer on bioregionalism for those who are interested: earth.org/bioregionalism 051
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 13/05/2023Latest finished batch of my wife's pottery. Some will stay in the home, some will go as gifts, and some will add to the inventory when we start doing the farmers market next year 2140
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 13/05/2023Tfw you didn't plant much blue corn except for what was left over from a couple years ago because you couldn't find last year's harvest but then your wife found it and you decide to go all in on your blue corn empire. 080
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 13/05/2023Nice to clear out a garden bed of mulch and weeds for planting and to find dozens of critters going about their day. And of course big critters (that are visible) means plenty more helpful microbiology that is not visible 060
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 12/05/2023Going to start developing a landrace variety of squash this year. Got a bunch of varieties ready to interplant, including heirloom and hybrid, saved pumpkin seeds, and some random transplants that I got from the farmers market. Will determine the number of seeds of each and then mix them up randomly 160
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 12/05/2023Succession planting cucumbers. Will keep adding mounds each week for the next 3 weeks. Munchers now, picklers later. Will also add cardboard around the plants to prevent blight and strings across the trellises for them to climb 020
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 09/05/2023Slowly but surely reclaiming this perennial bed from weeds. Planting both transplants and seeds, including lovage, lavender, sunchokes, various flowers, comfrey, rhubarb, etc. Already have sage and asparagus. Mulching heavily, tired of messing around 190
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 03/05/2023Looking like we're going to have a lot of frogs this year 1121
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 03/05/2023I tweeted this in the context of twitter. Luckily this doesn't apply to Bluesky (yet, hopefully not ever) :) 0161
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/04/2023Get you a local country store that sells a bit of everything 1112
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/04/2023Well said. Verbal cognition of the AI might be too charitable. Verbal manipulation in latent space might be closer to the truth 130
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/04/2023We evolved nails for a reason. Having to clip your nails due to lack of *hand* digging is environmental mismatch...Real talk though, hand tools are the greatest invention of humankind 130
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 30/04/2023I dug my pond by hand and scythe, so this checks out 1120
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 29/04/2023It was another good morning, slightly different angles 1160
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 28/04/2023Scything season / Grass clippings going onto the no-dig potatoes as an extra layer of mulch 1130
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 28/04/2023Getting into the meat production game. Built this chicken tractor over the winter and just ordered some meat chickens. The plan is to rotate them daily so that they always have fresh pasture 160
Jason Snyder @cognazor.bsky.social · 24/04/2023First asparagus harvest. Also first year that we are harvesting, planted a couple years ago, should be able to keep harvesting over the next few months 071
