Posted on July 5, 2022July 5, 202207/05/2022 Baby cushaw squash! Recovering from removal of benign sebaceous cysts is more complicated than either of us expected. Purple hulled pinkeye cowpea. I really like the little signs Paula got me for Christmas. They stand out well. A gray hairstreak on a Madhu ras canteloupe flower. Paula’s Coryphantha sulcata is blooming! In fact, it has two. She says it had six earlier this year too. New tiny moth – a spotted thyris! Bee butt in loofah gourd. Paula made Thai green curry for dinner. It contains last year’s garden white currant tomatoes (from frozen, so that works well), garden onions, and garden walking onions. The Texas buckeye is very angry. I put a hose out to soak there. Jeanne has let me know the wild ones do this too, so maybe it will recover. Possibly purple prairie clover from free packet from prairiemoon.com? A second round of standing cypress flowers on a different plant. A volunteer Carolina snailseed in the front yard. Will Rogers Zinnias are looking good in the rainbow garden. Briar loves escorting Shackleton for a walk. Shackleton doesn’t know why we have to ruin a good thing by bringing the dog. We were about to go back inside, but she got up and scooted closer. He turned to glare while she got a treat for laying down. Shackleton says no eye contact. Here you can pretend there is no dog, only lush, succulent grass and corn.
Posted on June 27, 2022June 27, 202206/26/2022 kimchi pancake dinner Paula made dinner with kimchi pancakes (with plum sauce) and egg foo young on rice to go with it. Cilantro from the garden is garnishing all of it, plus the kimchi contains walking onions. Red cabbage kimchi makes a mess. More walking onions from the garden here.
Posted on June 20, 2022June 20, 202206/19/2022 Will Rogers Zinnias came back true. A little Solanaceae volunteered in the rainbow garden. It conveniently has a yellow flower. Paula started a batch of kimchi fermenting. Walking onions for the green onion. Who is this This friend not want to play
Posted on May 12, 2022May 12, 202205/12/2022 all the not dramatic regular stuff Walking onions from garden, assorted farm share veggies, with glass noodles and chicken. Pulled a lot more Maximilian sunflower this evening. I put it in a tub with some potting soil to keep until they can go to new homes. I found a baby spittlebug on one sunflower stem! I took it over to the sunflowers we’re keeping so it can keep eating. In the front yard, a few winecup seedlings are coming up in the ground cover orchard area. More baby winecup! I pulled up two more native black walnut seedlings and potted them. Hopefully this one can make it with only half its remaining food. Anyways, this makes a total of four. I have found good homes for most or all of them now. Our lot is too small for another big tree.

Posted on April 16, 2022April 16, 2022Report from Mom’s container garden I sent Mom and Dad home with some walking onions and she put them around edge. A single basil has sprouted!!
