Posted on June 25, 2021June 25, 2021After work, garden times Plant instructions said to let them readjust to the world before planting, so they are outside in indirect light to start. Cilantro turning to coriander (the seed). White currant tomato seeds saved from last year grew true to variety!! Garlic harvest was very sparse. I guess the big February deep freeze got more than I thought. Moon and stars watermelon leaf has such adorable “stars”! I can’t wait for the fruit. Added more cardboard to my backyard Bermuda grass killing operation. Thank you Dad for this excellent giant cardboard!! One area of Bermuda grass in the backyard seemed dead enough to reseed with buffalograss and curly mesquite grass. A beautiful very smooth gray moth. Maybe an Arctiid? I need to look it up. My finger for scale.
Posted on June 20, 2021June 20, 2021First harvests and little friend 95 g of blackberries!! A dinner’s worth of green beans! From Mbombo (more) and blue lake (fewer and smaller) beans. A lightning bug sitting on the zucchini. A’grappoli d’inverno tomatoes (larger ones) and white currant tomatoes (small yellow ones). I’m delighted the white currants grew true to seed since I collected them last year! The Chef cooked the green beans with bacon and put walking onions chopped on baked potato. A little gray treefrog guards the zucchini from a radish leaf!
