zeedman...it's hard to tell from your pic, but I think this may be your yellow weed... https://www.first-nature.com/flowers/potentilla-reptans.php as for your yellow strawberry, there are yellow alpines..maybe a bird dropped a seed?

When unsure if they need water, just stick your finger into the soil near your plant. If it's dry, water. If still unsure, dig down a couple of inches and grab a golf ball sized amount of soil...squeeze it...if it crumbles it's too dry, if it sticks together, it's moist enough.

You should do a google image search for "fasciation in corn". I suspect that may be what you're describing.

Welcome !

This has a form for you to report it if you want... https://oregoninvasiveshotline.org/reports/detail/5127

This article says it is starting to invade the Portland area... https://www.portlandoregon.gov/bes/article/531484 The plant stems are edible and they make a dish called "fuki" from the stems.

I believe it's a GIANT BUTTERBUR Petasites Japonicus

So far it has just missed me, but tonight we're going to get rain...maybe 5"...we'll see.

I'd call my utility company and ask them.

The smoke here, (upstate NY) is awful, it's in the red zone on their charts for today and tomorrow. I have asthma and it's tightening my lungs. My eyes are scratchy, and my poor cat has scratchy eyes, too. Even though this is bad, and it is..it has happened at least 42 times since 1790 when...

I live in a very rural area, but I always thought that people in villages should band together...one plants corn, another beans, etc. This way nobody has to tend a full garden and everyone would get a share and be fed good produce.

so...zeedman...this is your new challenge ! Take a few peanuts and let them just dry cure over the winter, then you get to taste test them and report back for all of us !!!!

When squirrels take nuts, they bury them, so I wonder if storage kind of naturally brings out the sweetness, kind of like sweet potatoes...fresh, they're awful, stored for a while, much better.

From what I understand, it is done much like tissue culture. They would take a cell from an animal and put it on a growing medium(agar for plants)..don't know what it is for animals..then by adding hormones it would replicate over and over until it is a large enough for whatever their purpose...

Are those nuts transplants or seed sown in the garden? They're doing great.
