    The Avant-Garde'n Vegetables

    @flowerbug , methinks that we took the title of this thread way to literally. Derailments happen; but only here do people jump on even as the train goes off the tracks - which is part of what makes this forum feel like family. :) I blame my present mood on Seasonal Affective Derangement. 🤣 But...

    TM's claims would be more credible if they would recall the Kraken.

    The Avant-Garde'n Vegetables

    Perhaps the Employees are revolting, because the Food served by Management is revolting. The Employees will return when the Food stops returning.

    A Seed Saver's Garden

    Peat pots can be useful for fast-growing transplants, which won't spend much time in the pots. I've used them for beans & cucurbits for many years, with great results. But having observed that the roots of some plants had difficulty penetrating the pot sides, I make a point of cleaning out the...

    Perhaps the Vignas too? I was thinking about the Asian yardlong beans, and wondering not only how long they have been cultivated (I've never been able to determine that) but whether those beans ever traveled the Silk Road. Cowpeas from Africa certainly could have found their way in from the...

    I had thought that the beans in that story were runner beans,; but if the tale is that old, those were probably unknown & undiscovered at that time. Ditto for common pole beans, which also originated in the Americas.

    Thought of TEG Cat Owners

    A feline photographer? "Come closer, I just want a close-up. Really. Not like I'm thinking about eating you or anything."

    Coffee

    Like many store-bought fruits, they benefit from some at-home ripening. I like the red ones; when ripe & cut in half, you can scoop the middle out with a spoon. They are widely available now; I'd probably eat them more often if they weren't so expensive. There is a yellow-skinned version too -...

    Propagating Roses from Bouquet Cuttings

    Hmmm... I might have to do this just to see if I can, since I have very little experience in propagating via cuttings (DW was the expert on that). That might teach me what I need for a more important project. DW left me some potted Sampaguita (the national flower of Philippines) given to her by...

    Goin' to the Dogs!

    You DO realize that if I get up now, I'll wake the cat? Remember the last time that happened???

    The varieties in bold are currently being offered in the 2024 SSE Yearbook. They also list a "Polish Paste" which although it doesn't say 'giant', refers to fruits up to 1 pound in weight. I don't know whether or not it is possible for me to send seeds to you from the U.S., but if so, would be...

    Your Weather, 2024

    I see it too. Whatever you do, don't look at it too long... it doesn't like being looked at, and will hurt your eyes unless you look away. :hit

    Phaedra's Adventure

    Oh, how I wish we shared a back fence. I too love baking, but you take it to a new level. :drool Somehow I doubt you'll have any trouble selling your creations.

    Coffee

    Not particularly, and I avoid them now. But when I was walking along the road on Whidbey Island, I might walk through a puddle on purpose - just to keep passing cars from doing so & drenching me.

    Coffee

    That reminds me of my snow spiders. The warmer weather has awakened a mid-winter surge of box elder bugs, which are really good at getting into the house. Most of them come into the basement, so I try to keep that door closed. But they fly & follow light, so if I leave the basement door open, I...

    Garlic? Are you starting TGS (true garlic seed)? Just curious, since garlic is normally Fall planted.
