Posted on July 1, 2021July 1, 2021Wednesday harvest and other friends A lot of blue lake green beans. Several tomato varieties are ripening. UF garden gem was fine but all of the UF “W” at a similar color rotted and molded. Perhaps they don’t like the endless rain? I will watch more closely for ripening now too. The Chef tied all the onions up for storage. The mini bell peppers are more mini than I expected. Corbaci peppers. I think the three little ones aren’t ready, but their plant died. A mini bell pepper plant died too, in the same way, a rotting brown at the base. This mushroom looks like it should be named lemon chiffon something. Weighing the dried garlic. Pseudothyris sp. moth resting on strawberry leaf.
Posted on May 19, 2021May 19, 2021Trimming the claws I trimmed off several branches from both blackberry plants that had leaves with this mystery curl. It looks a lot like online pictures of leaf curl virus damage. It was not a leaf rolling insect, those I leave alone and consider just part of the ecosystem. The raspberry leaf curl virus can kill a whole plant apparently so I wanted to be safe.
