Did someone mention Carrots? We grow the Bolero every year, very uniform, sweet and great keepers.

Ive said it before but it bears repeating; Sorry you guys live in such a hostile environment!😂 Of course in about 30 min. That can change around here.

Happy Fathers day; first Mater! The same Celebrity’s we grow every year.

Happy to see you still plodding along with the pepper! From what i remember they did grow in partial shade down in Alice. And, if it makes fruit; i think its safe to assume you just set some sort of record for “success the farthest from it’s native range”.

Summer’s made it to the Greatland! Today’s temps ran from 40 to 78 and as is customary; our weather reports now mention the aproximate number of lightning strikes each day. Today it was “roughly 400”. That sounds like a lot but when you consider the land mass “over twice the size of Texas” you...

And from Alaska as well; formerly from Western North Dakota!

@baymule, do you grow a garden?

Before it started raining today; i “hilled” the potatoes that were up. I go at this a little differently. First of all, i plant the seed 6-7 inches deep then on emergence my hilling is just the addition of my Compost. This might happen twice then i just leave them till fall. Never a shortage of...

From roughly 4000 miles away; it looks like Cockleburr. Right up there with sticker burrs and snakes of things I don’t miss from Texas. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xanthium

The last couple days were “mostly sunny” giving us a Thank you Lord gathering this morning! Our season’s/weather are so ‘all over the place’; making nothing really predictable but when we do get a run of favorable weather great things happen - quickly! Right now I’m keeping 6 families in...

While your reading, give the “ALBRIGHT PAPERS’ a look. A little more current and relevant. This stuff’s from when i was a kid; and between the Rodales, Albright and Elaine Ingham they published numerous helpful articles, still relevant today if you are into NON CHEMICAL! There’s a cost...

Thanks, won 4 different classes at the state fair a couple years ago!

Kind of off track but not really; years ago I “recycled this well drilling bit; some turbine blades, a couple horse shoes and a couple engine connecting rods into this Goose; which is the guardian of the greenhouse! Nothing practical or really useful but a great conversation starter!

This afternoon this 2nd batch (for this season) of Compost tea will be ripe and ready to apply. I’ve gone over this at length previously and wont bore you with every jot and tittle; but this come’s as close to a “golden bullet” as your likely to get from a gardening standpoint. Done properly it...

Yea, we been on the earthing sheet’s for a good number of years. I cant say it has been a “cure all” for anything but i guess all the little efforts probably have a cumulative effect? On the subject of “grounding”; in the spring i really enjoy being able to sit out, bare foot and massage the sod...

Today I sat down with a couple of my star performers to discuss our production strategy going forward. The overwhelming response was; We’d like a little more Sun! I assured them “it’s on the way”. They were looking kind of skeptical so we adjourned for the day and I delivered the Whiney ones to...

We have slept on “earthing sheets” for years; kinda opposite principals though. We do remember earlier years while the Magnet thing was in vogue; don’t hear too much about it now days.

Jurassic bean plants! The Seychelles look great this year, leaves approaching dinner plate size. I’m hoping the bean wall with produce 20 or more vac bags of frozen beans. We’re starting the 4th bag currently. Today i went over all bed surfaces (for the 2nd time) with beneficial nematodes...

Some of us are having some luck keeping Slugs at bay, using electroculture, as detailed elsewhere.

No; we’ve read about the “edible flowers” and did add some squash flowers to a stir fry recently; meh!
