I have been making small batches of tomato sauce as they come. The san marzano are basically done but the celebrity are filling the kitchen table. As they push past freshly ripe into very ripe I have been cooking them. I made 1.5 gallons tonight. And about a gallon of sweet pickles from the...

Sad, and it is that time of year with heat and humidity where we risk more that we know digging in the dirt. https://www.foxnews.com/health/wisconsin-woman-dead-after-contracting-rare-fungus-found-soil

The san marzanoes are about halfway done. I am kinda glad. I think I find them best if they come from Italy and not Alabama. But I have been bringing in 5 gallon buckets and now the work begins. Cucumbers, eggplants, squash of course are all producing. I am glad I did not plant okra. Picking...

Well they cannot decide. One day they say it will be 100f this weekend and the next day 104. I watered the garden this morning real deep jic.

I was gonna come back to soylent green at some point but here you are! 1973 movie currently 70% on rotten tomatoes etc. Has moses as the lead. Or monkeyboy if you are planet of the apes fan. Heston something...hard to remember his characters were all so boring except maybe that ben-hur chariot...

https://www.cnbc.com/2023/06/21/us-approves-sale-of-cell-cultured-chicken-to-two-start-ups.html There is no animal. I cannot fathom this. Old brain I guess. Is this basically gonna be a bathtub full of something that looks like baloney?

I need a scoop and stuff recipe fast or she tosses the big ones. Thank you in advance! These are new Burpee hybrids. The plants remind me of a courgette. I kinda like the smooth skins of the old school yellow squash. Anyway they have really soft skin though they do not look it and their seed...

3 inches of rain so not much. I trellised some cukes that are getting wild. I see my purchased tomatoes came with a new fungus. :mad: Scissor city. At least they are determinate and will be gone soon. I cannot see some onion for the weeds. Scissor city. The squash are going crazy and some...

They have discovered a"hidden" ocean in the earth that has 3x times the water we have on the surface. https://www.indy100.com/amp/ocean-beneath-earth-crust-ringwoodite-2661296275-2661296275

It is a good idea. My version is where I thought about an opening with multiple interchangable forms to which I can attach hardware cloth of different sizes. In fact it could be considered a compost screen system if it is wide enough to shovel compost up and then screen it into bags or bins. I...

I am planning on this one residing outdoors somewhere. I like the wheels though. And handles other end for transport. I fear no oddball wheelbarrow.

I am gathering ideas for an outdoor potting bench. It will have a small roof I think. You may even call it a gardening bench as some activity will include 15 gallon containers. Anyway, if I promise not to paint it in camouflage colors or neon pink, can I elicit a few functional suggestions from...

So far its been tying up the sauce tomatoes. Bushy little things have become shoulder high and are starting to load up.

And to think I started out just trying to get the grass cut which did not happen..

Picked yellow squash, green beans, some initial bell peppers to help mature the plants. Cut chard, pulled radishes. Put out pine bark mulch on the blackberries, fertilized, watered, picked up sticks. Watered some ornamentals.

I only have one teensy tidal wave of a concern. If I make it too mucky, where it does not drain well, then a classic problem also found in hugelkulture of hillsides can occur. Water can build up if not allowed to drain, and since it is so heavy it can burst a dam. It is best if nothing of value...

It belongs to these guys. But I have a heavy duty sewing machine and fully intend to use weed fabric in a way for which it is not intended. https://www.flexmse.com/vegetated-retaining-wall/ https://www.flexmse.com/photo-gallery/

I have a tip. Put compost and sand in a weatherable bag for small retaining walls, then plant in the upper face of the bag for a living retaining wall.

This belongs here.
