Welcome to Outdoor Nature On Adventures. I’m David Bendixen, known here as IronValeX. This is my home for practical outdoor knowledge and lessons from the water, woods, campsite, trail, and garden.
Experience worth sharing
Gardening is one place where I have years of experience to share. My largest cabbage weighed 14 lb 2 oz. Flat Dutch cabbage and Goliath tomatoes have earned a place in my garden, and I also grow German Johnson tomatoes. Weather, pests, and setbacks are part of the story alongside the harvests.
