Almost 'April' snow! I’ve gotten mail twice since the storm, and my neighbour told me today he saw it delivered by taxi. Which was odd as they didn’t go to any other houses on the street. I guess because they were small parcels. The post is still not operational. Driveway fun The...

Lucky! 😊

I'm a little bit crazy when it comes to beans & tomatoes...and peas... 😂 You're so lucky to have such big tomato plants already!

More on the glyphosate post above. I honestly have only ever thought of it as a weed killer. I had no idea that it was an anti-biotic. :eek: I've steered clear of those nearly my whole life, minus one strep infection. From the Healthy Practitioner, Stephanie Grutz - Glyphosate is an...

I love those beans! And I agree @Blue-Jay that 'Kitoba' is an absolutely drop dead gorgeous bean! It is one of my favorites for sure, and along with that incredible beauty it seems like a super high yielding type with nice & early maturity. What more can be asked of a bean! 🤩 I was curious...

Had the oddest experience outside today. I was trying to make it to my treehouse outdoor shelf, where I've got all my starter pots stored. I really put this off because the snow is so deep and I didn't want to go through the hassle of snowshoes. I'm sure in places it's nearly up to my hips...

No, I checked & that one isn't in there. :( Have you grown the Minusinsk Mango variety? I was just speaking with the lady who sent it to me and she said it was incredibly good. I plan to keep my eye out for these Minusinsk varieties now!

ETA: Just read about this. Truly terrifying. https://www.scimex.org/newsfeed/expert-reaction-soils-exposed-to-glyphosate-might-also-be-harbouring-hospital-superbugs

Did my first batch of 2026 tags with the label maker tonight. Weirdly satisfying, lol. What a game changer its been to have such an efficient tool to do that task. I never enjoyed label time, until now. Its like a little game. My cutter blade inside the machine prints has gotten dull...

Lots here still shut down from the snow storm. First time for me. I've seen power shortages for a few hours, but nothing like this. School buses still can't run because there's no sidewalks. The dump trucks are out loading up with snow to lessen the size of the banks, but its a slow process...

The 2026 tomato list, after much pondering and angst, lol. I'm staggered to think I need to actually start putting these seeds in the ground in less than a week! How does the time fly like that? And it seems every year that passes, it goes even quicker. I'm debating what to do for peppers...

I'm finally done the tomato list for 2026! :celebrate I decided to grow exclusively what is the most rare. Once I decided on that criteria I was off and running. Before that lost in dreamy thoughts about all these tomatoes. And boy have I created a backlog of these over the years. It'll be...

I am not a fan of these new changes either! That dark green backdrop makes it really hard to read the notification.

I haven't grown it since 2021, but it made some very lovely pumpkin pies. ☺️

I bet she loved that!!

When I was a kid, our long time next door neighbor died of this. He was a big time gardener but was using some kind of sewage as a fertilizer. I have no idea why he thought this was a good idea. He contracted something from that which killed him. Tragic.

I'm still working on this darn tomato list. But I'm inching closer. Driving me a bit nuts is these 'Berry' tomato seeds that a woman gave me as a gift at Seedy Saturday. I remember her talking about some fellow they were associated with and their origins, but for the life of me I cannot...

It's actually kind of amazing how those seeds look just like @Decoy1 's seeds. Twins. I can only guess that maybe Purple Dove genes are rather dominant.

New word. 📝 'Thigmomorphogenesis' is a plant’s response to physical touch or mechanical stress—things like wind, rain, brushing, or even repeated handling. The term comes from Greek roots meaning “touch” (thigmo) and “form” (morphogenesis). When plants experience these stimuli, they often grow...
