Posted on July 18, 2021July 18, 2021Assorted non-bee news (mostly) Roundup is starting to take effect on Bermuda grass. I can’t plant the buffalograss until I get that nasty invader out. A different bumblebee (or maybe robber fly mimic?? It flew different I thought) came to get water while I watered rainbow garden beds. Saturday morning dog. She is four years old as of Friday! Ironweed buds! Looking forward to the purple! Briar helping me garden on her birthday. Buffalograss corner of prairie is a good laying spot! I trimmed all the dying dill and cilantro out of the herb bed so I could see what’s going on with parsley, sage, and oregano better.

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.
