From Forest to Skillet: Edible and Native Plants in the Cross Timbers of Oklahoma. 837 yard species and counting!
I saw that the new bok choy and mizuna seeds are coming up so I tried all this diatomaceous earth again. I also put vaseline around stems of one each mizuna and bok choy as I read that can keep them from climbing too, though the seedlings are only barely 1/2″ tall so we’ll see.
This is the stark surecrop pie cherry. Maybe we can have a very small pie this summer.
Checking on the babies this afternoon.
I moved it to the backyard!
It’s earwigs.
The Stark Surecrop Pie Cherry is budding out and the North Star Pie Cherry is maybe alive, but buds haven’t swelled much.
Wes made a holder for one of the fans to attach to the shelf where we hide the tender plants at night from Gram right now on cool nights. Isn’t it nifty?
I’ve been getting out the ol’ North central TX flora and Mom’s book and pestering my plant friends via text message.
Or new varieties of invasives! The waiting game begins!
Bad news: something ate the two baby Rudbeckia fulgida I put out yesterday.
Good news: all the fluttermill evening primrose, same size as Rudbeckia, are fine. This includes the three just a few yards away.
!!! News… A yucca may be sprouting???
