Natural Horsemanship
A lifetime of kind horsemanship, I think we were doing natural horsemanship before it was ''invented''
I have completed Level One with Quantum Savvy Natural Horsemanship.
I am sad I can no longer access the Parelli learning platform, its just too expensive with too many changes.
I've tried some clicker training with good results , but haven't found any one person to wholly agree with. I guess I'll just need to keep trying to see what works

I've never seen potatoes grown in pots before. I'll be interested to know what kind of crop you get.
I have grown potatoes in buckets before, one seed potato makes good sized potatoes but last year I put in three per bucket for three buckets and had lots of little baby ones early on for a treat, these are earlies(record) and are only all in buckets/pots/old compost bags because of the loss of space, I gave the main crop seed potatoes to a good home(plus lots of extra seeds and garden magazines so I hope they are getting on ok), I will try to remember to photograph and post whatever I tip out(before I eat them!)
YUM! What kind of potatoes are they?? I love those young red ones. They have a kind here called "Yukon Gold" that are melt in your mouth delish!!!
Good for you, having fancy decorations! Men just don't understand!!!
My potato patch is in a neglected far space in the garden, around the corner, where grocery store potatoes were tossed out and covered up with a bit of soil (russets, gold, red, blues...), now waiting for rains to get them going... Then will mulch them with garden pullings over time. Have high hopes, but some worry that this plan won't work...
Good on you to rescue the potatoes!!!
do you leave the potatoes in the pot or do you tran plant to the garden?I enjoy your blog, you have a lot of pictures and I am interested in how people in other parts of the world do things and what the flowers and such look like. I live Arkansas, usa. i also consider the speed of living to much but I am 68 years old now and retired so I can set and let it go by.
the potatoes are an early variety called Red Duke of York( I thought they were Record but I just checked my notes), they should be a nice pinkish colour. They don't get transplanted, just left to grow in the pots till ready to eat, hopefully some will be edible by the beginning of July although they'll be really small they should taste great.
