Lady achieved this heel using an online course released by a trainer a few hours from me, just amazing. Most of us wanting to go into more complicated processes with our dog need hands on guidance, so that she did this on her own is wild. Of course, it helps that she has a Malinois.😂

You're done shelling all the 2025 pods @Bluejay?

Tonight I start to work at all the paper bags full of dried pods! :ya

How wonderful that you're feeling so good @ducks4you! :hugs

It's very difficult to identify beans, but I would make the guess 'Supermarconi' pole beans. The flower is even purple in the link. I would also say definitely Italian in origin, even the dried seeds. 'Rosa's' is similar as well, another Italian romano bean variety, and the seeds are a dark...

Beautiful beans! 😍 Love those half purple and half white ones!

I enjoy this account so much, my inner fact geek enjoys her knowledge and the accent only adds to the experience! https://www.instagram.com/learn.the.latin.garden/?e=ab42c7ee-dbb6-47b2-8725-3c590d6f83d4&g=5

I loved, adored even, living in a French province. The struggle to understand those around me, and integrate into the language was a singular experience I'll never forget! Songs like this bring back such happy memories!

Ground up the first two dried pepper batches! It started out as fine powder, but as the day went on and the humidity increased and it got clumpy. So I left a paper towel on top and will wait for the humidity to drop before putting in a jar. But it tastes wonderful. I put some in the center of...

I have had problems with it too in bush beans, and also in pole beans at times @oxbow farm. Impossible to control on the poles, but with the bushes you could pull them and dry the pods up hanging instead. Can be a very impractical option if your growing a lot of plants, but even if you pick...

Processing and de-seeding the 'Nomad' peppers tonight! There have been so many peppers to deal with I started to wonder what I'd do with them all. This has not really been an issue before, lol. I've frozen roasted peppers, but wasn't thrilled about that result. Then I had the idea to get...

Well, I pooped out on getting the sunchokes in. My body just would not cooperate. So I compromised with it and finished digging out the last sunchoke variety instead, which allowed me to sit in one spot more or less. DD helped. Only in the last bit do I take the shovel to the area and dig...

What a coincidence, an Italian neighbour a few streets over sent DH home with a big chunk of comfrey plant last week. It has black roots, and she tells me that it's 'the real thing'? I have no experience with this herb, but it's waiting in a pot right now to be planted somewhere! I should...

After today, I'm ready for a back transplant! Twisted the wrong way a week ago and boy it bizarrely reduced my capacities. I didn't even exert when it happened which is odd. I was feeling great today for the first time since, and then we cut down 3 more trees; all the clean up and bending and...

Ghastly!

You've piqued my curiosity @digitS' , given that there are so many unusual names out there, is there any particular one(s) in which you heard the name, and that was just an immediate and irreversible 'no way'? I'm influenced fairly strongly by names as well. Last year I grew a bean mostly...

Another round of tomato seed rinsing done, and a new set of jars fermenting with tomato pulp filled today. This is almost the end of it all, minus longkeepers. One more day I'm guessing. Then on to deseeding the peppers, and all the time sensitive stuff is done. The lasagna I made yesterday...

That variety is so unique, I quite like that color it has. I'm growing this year a variety (which is really more of a mix of varieties I think) called 'Malawi Mix', and there is a bean in there that looks exactly like Van Gogh's Olive. I actually think they might be the same bean.

I have been plucking ground cherries from plants and de-husking them for several evenings now. It is surprising how different they are from each other; the Physalis minima which doesn't seem to have a common name as a fruit, just the Latin, is quite sticky. As I'm pulling off the paper...

The Ohio Pole seeds from today that I saved, the dried ones and the not so dry ones. The seeds were not attached to anything inside the pods, they all basically fell out when I opened them so they're mature, just not dry clearly. I can only hope that the seedcoats don't shrivel, that seems to...
