@Dahlia , we have some of that Spring heat. Some years, I am complaining about you sharing your "June Gloom." Those years, we don't seem to have any warm, sunny weather until July. And, it's early May! We should have more of these days so it must mean that the cooling will stay on the west side...

My early Spring experience is "guess the weed," HeirloomGal. I perennially forget weed names. Of course that means, that I can misidentify weeds and wanted plants. Somewhat of a caution about your perennial poppies: They can spead. We have 2 blooms as of yesterday. I'm happy with where they...

Today, I dug 4 5-gallon buckets and 2 6-gallon pots of compost out for the tomatoes. Returned to the south house wall to dig out 2 holes in absolutely terrible ground for 2 plants. Last year, growing in compost, 2 plants did just fine. Difficult dig again in 2026! It's just "fill" not "soil"...

Kale continues. Today, for the first time — bok choy :). It isn't from the outdoors but, rather, from the beds protected by the hoophouse. There isn't much of a recipe. There was a little oil in the skillet. Ground beef went in. As it cooked, some shedded bok choy was added. Simple and...

It's May Day For thus it chanced one morn when all the court, Green-suited, but with plumes that mocked the may, Had been, there won't, a-maying and returned, That Modred still in the green, all ear and eye, Climbed to the high top of the garden-wall To spy some secret scandal if he might, ~...

Nah. I like the flavor somewhat :D.
