Posted on March 22, 2023March 22, 202303/22/2023 nighttime-only cat! babies!!! And dinner! Briar helpfully alerted me to a potential friend carefully crossing the back fence today! What a magnificent neighbor. Turns out a few peach flowers survived. The ones with dropped petals are quite striking with pale tips over maroon backgrounds! I believe this is the annual (?) Cardamine sp from nearby seeded into the prickly pear planter. Abby has kindly identified this as a human-introduced species Armeria serpyllifolia, thyme-leaved sandwort. It isn’t from North American originally but doesn’t seem to dramatically disturb the landscape. This one may be an introduced chickweed. But a fuzzy one, not Stellaria media. More baby inland sea oat seedlings in a second pot!my Multiple baby native Rosa sp from Fannin Co TX. Thanks Mom! This seems big enough to be the persimmon I actually planted?? Seedlings in false gaura pot, but not sure they look right. Oklahoma penstemon given to me by a kind fellow Norman citizen! Maybe smartweed amongst the Chenopodium. We shall see. A Datura maybe?? The label fell out of this pot. Anybody recognize this seed? I am informed the mustard leaf garnish is from garden and that the soup contains poblanos from last year from the freezer.

Posted on March 15, 2023March 15, 202303/14/2023 garden salad Garden salad contains green wave mustard, scotch blue curled kale, and bloomsdale long standing spinach. Cucumbers and carrots from farm share. Parsley and fennel on main chicken dish also from farm share.
Posted on October 29, 2022October 29, 202210-29-2022 fall things continue We got another package of bare roots from Prairie Moon. One rattlesnake master (since we have one already, maybe they will make seeds), one Camassia angusta- they only had one left), and several Ohio spiderworts. Up front, the pineapple sage is blooming. Two slightly different looking seedlings in the Penstemon cobea pot. I’ll keep an eye on them. Winter greens looking good. The purple Salvia greggii are really blooming right now. The showy milkweed seems to be shutting down for the fall with some yellow colors. I had to use one of the Chef’s big food grade buckets to hold all the fruit from the 17 lb watermelon from a few weeks ago when I cut it open today.
Posted on October 11, 2022October 11, 202210/11/2022 and other recent foods Tonight contains garden onions. The Brussels sprouts in the left side are topped with sweet Corbaci peppers from the garden. Paula made a bean and potato chunky soup. The giant beans are Royal Corona beans, a type of runner bean, which came in our first Bean Club shipment.
Posted on October 3, 2022October 3, 202210/03/2022 Bean Club dinner and other excitement My colleague gave me these delicious tiny tomatoes from her sister’s garden east of here. She said it’s a hybrid between tommy toe and another variety and has bred true for two ish years! I’m saving some! A yellow iris by the rock garden. Polenta with cranberry beans from Bean Club and fancy sausage from California. Salad includes farm share peppers and the main mean also included summer squash from the farm share. A cooked cranberry bean. They were very creamy in texture! The cranberry bean broth was very savory. The Chef laughed at us taking a picture. Here’s some of the remaining cranberry beans. They have a tan base but occasionally the red speckles and stripes turn the bean almost completely red! You can see they are nice chunky big beans. Larger than the average pinto.
