Someone on the town crew was out with the boom flail mower, mowing on the sides of the road. Ostensibly, it's to keep the drainage channels clear and to reduce plants from reaching out into the road. Guy mowed my entire front row of ferns, skipped some lilies, then mowed down my flowering and decorative grasses. At one point, he must have lifted the boom to avoid an Iris, but then brought it back down on another flowering grass in the middle of my front gardens. They'll survive, but my front garden is going to look destroyed for a few weeks at least while they recover.
In more positive news, we had some friends and their son visit on Sunday. My wife took the other ladies around to walk in the gardens at one point while I was cooking - I found out later that we're part of the inspiration for some folks who are looking to start a sober living space!
There are something like twelve common names in english, it was introduced to me as "oregano brujo" (wizard's oregano). It's most strongly oregano in its aerosol phenols but when I've used it in meals (usually in a slow cooker) it's got notes of the thymol that come through.
So I didn't spot any other girls frequenting the greenhouse, which leads me to believe they could all be hers. Our two boys are 'chocolate' and 'pied', so with her 'pied' genetics they could all be hers and the colors might be crazy.
Generally speaking the yellow bits will be light and the brown parts will be black or brown, with browns and sometimes green or an iridescent purple being kore common on the yellow ducklings.
600G of strawberries retails for £4.50 (Tesco). If this whole setup cost only a million pounds, a producer would have to grow 133,333,332G worth of strawberries to pay it off, and this assumes nothing breaks (ever) and that there is some way to harvest that many strawberries without paying labor, packaging, licensing, and other costs. I feel like this was a cool tech demo but that's about it
We've grown butternut and pumpkins on trellising with no significant weight issues - one or two huge guys that I cut off to cure elsewhere while the others kept growing, sure. If you're doing cukes, zukes, or other summer or small squash you should be good to go though.
I'm so glad the exclusion barrier is working for your squashes! Can you train them up some trellising with any sort of ease?
I think that whst I thought were Brussel sprouts are actually cucumber, and what I thought was cucumber is Brussel sprouts so neither is where I wanted them
I mean this as constructively as possible: that's not a composting toilet and the practice you've described raises health risks for you and the people to whom you give food.
I usually prefer non-human animal manures for that sort of thing. Are you using a composting toilet or some other mechanism to reduce pathogenic potential?
I bit the bullet and ordered some shirts to wear while I'm working the market stand, and I'm hopeful that they make everything more cohesive. Logo is the front, catchphrase is the back:
I helped a friend out of a bind this week, and tomorrow I'll be helping another friend start to transplant his garden from his old house to his new one. Hopefully this heat dome doesn't ruin our efforts.
Friendly reminder that lightning bugs need tall grasses present in addition to wildflowers and leaf litter. You can also improve their survival rates by removing artificial lighting or even just setting any safety lighting (like motion activated lamps) to their shortest "on" duration. Another obvious step is to avoid pesticides.
They can get pretty gigantic. They don't all grow to that size, but a rhubarb plant that's been in a spot it likes for a few seasons can be massive. Since the stalks are the edible part. We use those leaves as a chop and drop mulch to smother and cover weeds
At first I had a little trouble but then I saw the telltale "V" of ripples in the water. You might have wanted a different picture but I think you captured the mood perfectly.
