Posted on July 14, 2021July 14, 2021Green beans and kohlrabi Leftover hotpot style soup. The Chef also used venison from Paula and chard and kohlrabi leaves in eggrolls. Sauce for eggrolls was South Dakota honey from our esteemed visitor this week!
Posted on July 12, 2021July 12, 2021Afternoon and evening Argiope spider. We call them banana spiders for the yellow but I think most people call them garden spiders. Missouri fluttermill primrose in the rock/sedum garden continues to bloom! Many tomatoes along with kohlrabi. A caterpillar on cilantro. Maybe a cutworm? It looks familiar… Uzbek golden carrots! Excited to try them… I harvested a bit early on two. Oops. Wes made hot pot style soup. It contains chard, kohlrabi stem and leaves, green beans, sweet peppers, onions, and green onions. A view of the spread. We have a vaccinated guest!!

Posted on July 11, 2021July 11, 2021Bisbee gray cowpea My previous California black-eyed cowpea has cream yellow flowers so I was not expecting purple. That blue smudge is really there and the photo shows it accurately. It wasn’t apparent around 8am when I first got up so I wonder if it’s pollinated and done.

Posted on July 3, 2021July 3, 2021Side yard dirt moving on Friday I’m getting the last bed much smoother and dirt on lawn much more level. Was able to do this on Friday evening as no rain since Thursday. Pasta from scratch topped with a mix of garden and store tomatoes, and garden oregano.
Posted on July 3, 2021July 3, 2021A day without rain?? Dill seeds are developing. A lightning bug rests on carrot leaves. This pillbug (rolly polley) looks very fresh, perhaps it just molted? It’s on a dayflower. The prairie is very lush and some of the tepary beans are sure climbing tall! Beautiful fungi on woodpile. Dog says things are okay!
