Kraut harvest. Ten times this left to harvest.

Intercropped them between my potato rows, with a good dusting of mayweek, cilantro, and radish seeds. My first year to get good dense heads of cabbage that weren't tunneled throughout by cabbage loopers, and I lost no garden space to them.

Moringa Documentary; "The Miracle Tree"

Claims are made that its tiny leaves contains 7 times the Vit C of oranges, 4 times the Vit A of Carrots, 4 times the Calcium of milk, 3 times the Potassium of Bananas, and 2 times the protein of yogurt.
It also has almost all of the essential amino acids available as simple proteins that we humans require that are easily digestible.

T. Pachanoi or San Pedro is a type of cactus that produces mescaline. I've been collecting them for a while, but I noticed something cool with this one. It underwent a mutation called cresting. It's normally supposed to have between 5 and seven ribs, but this guy has at least 16 at the top that are fanning out.

Was out mowing the yard when a bit of red caught my eye on the pomegranate bush. I bought a couple bare root plants a few years back, basically looked like a little stick with some roots dangling off the end. One didn't make it through the first winter, but the other kept struggling back the past few years. The bush is now a little over 6 feet tall, and this is the first time it's flowered/fruited. I'm pretty pysched about it. Hopefully, I'll have a picture to share this fall of a mature fruit.

My Amarillis bloomed on easter

8k plus seed starts, 200lbs of seed potatoes, four weekends of scheduled in situ planting.

I got the first batch of brassicas moved to beds, they should be fine since the last frost is four weeks away and they do fine freezing in the greenhouse.

Weent heavy on the medicinal herbs and European wildflowers again this year.

The irrigation ditch starts running water next weeks so everything should green up quickly despite no rain for months.

The bass and bluegill have started to get active in the pond, so the crawfish should be along soon to start harvesting.

Only two but I'm over the moon because I didn't think there were any because the birds love the blossoms but these two monsters were growing quietly away superbly camouflaged. Unusual taste - menthol.

I say this because the YouTube videos about stinky-bug control, seemingly made by Americans, say that dishwashing detergent ("Dawn") will dispatch the critters - it won't. And, believe it or not, neither will pure vinegar or vinegar mixed with soapy water. All the vinegar did was burn the new tree branch shoots.

I've spent hours blasting the monsters with these mixtures from my water cannon and...come the next day it's as if I'd done nothing - millions of 'em still there.

Solution. I used clothes-washing (laundry) detergent - Ultra Concentrate - and it was a turkey shoot. The 37C heat yesterday forced the varmints to the cool at the bottom of the tree where some of them continued their orgies. Smashing the love-making couples with a blast of death was particularly satisfying. Yes, I got quite carried away but after days of nil results I was on a rampage.

So...if you need to deal with stinky bugs...use laundry detergent (and water), not dishwashing detergent.

Tim sits down at the Harvest Cabin with Brenda to learn:
What are heirloom seeds?
What is the difference between heirloom/organic/hybrid?
How do you harvest seeds?
How do you store them?

As well as some fun seeds she has collected and their fascinating histories.
