Black Gumbo

Our various adventures in gardening, family, fun, adventures and so-forth. This is our family catch-all blog, the one all our family and friends pester me about updating, and the one I always threaten to remove but don't because, well, we like it.

Theological stuff, ancient stuff, photo stuff: on the other blogs (tabs at the top); the home-centric peace and joy we relish together as a family is here.

Oh yeah, Black Gumbo (n.) - a generic term for highly elastic, clay based soils. While rich in nutrients, it is virtually unworkable until properly amended with compost, sand, etc. Amending Black Gumbo will break backs and tools.
