Posted on June 8, 2021June 8, 2021Humidity of spring Found the two tiniest stinkhorn mushrooms in the yard! Probably a bee fly? Decided the onions would probably dry better in the less humid air of house.
Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021Harvesting onions and hilling potatoes 6 kg of yellow granex onions. 4.5 kg white granex onions. Briar smiles over the bounty. The Chef is going to chop and dehydrate the stems/leaves for green onions. About 1.6 kg of green onion from both varieties. Put the last tub of city compost on the potatoes to “hill” them so they put out more roots. All the bags are fully opened up now. Zucchini begins.
Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021Down to one apple I noticed a bump on one of the two remaining baby apples. The apple in question fell right off so I guess it was a goner anyways. A top view of the wee beastie after I coaxed it out with a piece of grass. I believe it’s a fly maggot but it seems too big from what I read of the common apple fly maggot (Rhagoletis sp). “Nooooo don’t turn me over” “Where’s my apple???” “Hmph.”. Back upright for a full length portrait with its prey.
Posted on June 5, 2021June 5, 2021Happenings! Yellow granex onions (white granex flowers appear same as far as I can tell). Garlic flowers with cilantro/coriander flowers in background. Mini bell pepper begins! Another sweet pepper, this one called corbaci! Moon and stars watermelon leaf. The fruit is speckled and honestly I think the leaf is that way too? I searched for online images yesterday and few showed the leaves well but I think it’s not a disease.

Posted on June 1, 2021June 1, 2021Stop it Apparently corn is just as good as grass to chew on. In less aggravating news, the second set of (newer) Christmas Lima beans are up. I like how you can still see the bean pattern.
Posted on May 30, 2021May 30, 2021Pics from earlier today Arkansas yucca seedling is surviving! Blooming (above) and done blooming (below) dwarf pomegranate. The pie/sour cherries before I got around to picking them. Sleepy supervisor.
