I should mention, I got confused when I first saw this picture, because the only "glads" I could think of were the brand of trash bags, and why would they want to bury their trash in bags. It wasn't until later I realized they probably mean "gladioli"

Okay. The good news is I managed to dig out some replacement corn to plant. | The bad news is that it is just as old, if not older, so I have to assume it also will have pretty terrible germination. So, rather than trying to put it directly into the peat plugs (which I wouldn't have nearly...

It looks like I may quite possibly have to re-think my corn plans. I set up my corn kernel boxes eight days ago, so, last night, I opened them to check status (that's how it works, plant them, check in a week, remove the ones that have not germinated, put the boxes back for another week, re-open...

More than you think, considering that, as far as it appears, the alien's body isn't fossilized, or even decomposed (that arm still looks pretty fleshy to me, unless it's wearing a space suit).

At this point, basically just drumming my fingers, waiting until it's time to start the hotboxes for the corn. More accurately, waiting for it to get warm enough reliably I can set the tomatoes and have ROOM to start the hotboxes for the corn (and be able to clear space in the cold frame to move...

I've sometimes wondered if, when the "other cat" started showing up and pushing on the windows, if, had we NOT found Juniper, we would have opened the door and let it in*. Probably not (in truth, we consider it a VERY ugly cat,) but I imagine we might have left it food and let it get used to us...

No need for me to buy. Thanks to my "hunts" I have things WAY nastier than that I could toss in the gardens of people I don't like.

While we're at it, does anyone else have the same problem when typing I have here. Every time I hit the backspace to correct some spelling, it automatically also gets rid of the "return" I used before to separate the paragraph from the previous one, and smooshes them together. For someone who...

Only doing two this year (was going to do three, but it looks like none of the White Currants made it through). One is Phantome du Laos, that large white fleshed tomato that supposed to work as a ghost detector. The other is a green one called Open Minded. I suppose that one is sort of...

Well, wouldn't that just basically be boneless escargot?

No, as far as I can tell it is a different species of allium, Allium macrostemon. It's also called Japanese Garlic.

Box arrived today. Empty, as expected.

Updates 4/6 Just fertilized the two big pots on the side patio and added the lablab beans (two types per pot, none with specific names). Did plant such Chinese garlic as still looked alive (two of them ) but honestly can't be sure if either will take (none of it really seemed to grow any...

Never having either cooked, I wouldn't know. The few times my mom has cooked with plums, it's usually mixed in with other fruits in a tart, so it would be hard to tell them separately from most of the other fruits. I do remember a lot of Asian plums stay pretty firm when cooked, but that's...
