Some of the bits and pieces that have surfaced in my backyard over the last couple of months. There’s variously colored glass, plastic, ceramic, strange metal objects, and my favorites—tin stars. I’ve also dug up an estimated six square feed of chunked up cement in the chicken yard. #backyardarcheology #cornflakeeffect #digging (at Pasadena, California)

Good morning Saturday! Today's harvest: 3 zucchini, 3 radishes, several lovely pinches of basil, and one very old piece of what looks like window hardware. #zucchini #darkstar #cocozelle #radishes #basil #homegrown #freshpicked #goodeats (except for the hardware) #urbangardening #urbanorganicgardening #organicgardening #backyardarcheology #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)

I decided to spend some time doing what I enjoy this afternoon- digging in my backyard in the garbage pile that’s back there #fun #archeology #backyardarcheology #backyard #spryfield #halifax #novascotia #dogkisserinternationalheadquarters (at Dogkisser International Headquarters) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvxAeoPHRlQ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1m56ndn7q8vij

Garden is up to 4 stars! If you haven't been following this thread, I've been finding these little metal (aluminum?) stars in my garden beds for years. Recently I decided to start saving them instead of tossing them. The coins is up to 4 over the past couple of weeks. #backyardarcheology #raisedbeds #cornflakeeffect #thedirtonorganicgardening (at Pasadena, California)
