From Forest to Skillet: Edible and Native Plants in the Cross Timbers of Oklahoma. 686 yard species and counting!
Standing cypress seedlings look pretty wilty in the front yard but I have not checked the backyard ones yet. Lettuce, cilantro, and cabbages I’m unsure how they look (sort of like the sugar snap peas, they could go either way once it warms up).
Hopefully we will get the additional forecast snow to help everything from the single digits forecast for Sunday and beyond!
There are some very slippery invisible spots on the roads and sidewalks! Briar and I had to walk very cautiously.
Paula has grown some amazing horizontal icicles on her kale and said I could share the picture.
Some guest plants are departing, so the Salvia greggii cuttings are moving into the plant window where it’s safer from the cat.
No more cases of damping off since Wes has added the fan for me. Many plants were ready for watering! So I think the fan is helping dry things out.
Great progress has been made.
Wes and Paula cleaned off last year’s loofah gourd harvest. We have almost two pounds of seeds. That is almost a kilogram for our science readers. Wes was annoyed we did not get tare for the bag but it’s a very light bag, and I didn’t want seeds everywhere. Let me know if you want seeds. We might be able to supply you…
Wes has some sort of plan for the loofahs themselves. There is a whole rubbermaid tub full of those. This is from maybe half a dozen plants.
Paula came over this afternoon for a masked visit outside. We put down cardboard around the new peach tree and covered it with cedar mulch.
The household welder/chef has begun the process of edging the garden perimeter (Figure 1).
