Transplanted a dozen hostas from the in laws yesterday. Everything else is still just growing but I’m getting some tiny peppers.
Took this picture the other day, she showed up in my lawn and ate my guinea fowls corn bran, she wouldn't get any closer because my dog was sleeping next to me.
>>2872029I don't know why but I have an irrational hatred of hostas. They're just the most vanilla grandma-tier plant of all time
>>2872031Is that a fucking tapir?
>>2872031Is that cassava?
>>2872033There are cool variants
>>2872034Yes, a couple came here at night once, I guy that worked here said he saw the calf with the mother a couple of months ago.>>2872035Yes, I planted it first to give shade to the other trees, turns out the partridges love them and now dozens of them come here each day to eat the roots.
>>2872036Surely you're joking?
>>2872033Kek. I like em.>>2872036This is as blue as they get. Trust me. Gotta pull out that wandering jew.
>>2872033cant beat em? eat em!
>>2872031Just kill it and eat it.Might i recommend a hosta garnish?>>2872047
>>287203811/10 would buy.But mines real and not AI
For the season I'm at:>87 quarts of green beans>35 pints of salsa>14 chics (id normally be around 400 at this point in the season but the grandbaby is a lot of work so we're just focusing on stabilizing the flock- will probably get around 50 hatchings)>snapdragon seeds from last year are blooming.These are my favorite flowers of all time and ive never been able to keep them alive and I got some plants that kept going for over 2 years- they even bloomed in the fucking snow!>planted buttercrunch lettuce 2 years ago, they seeded out and came back this year, seeded again. Need to collect seeds.>stuck onion that was growing in the pantry in a pot. Forgot about it. Died off in winter. Started growing in spring and I was like "wtf is this?!" Kept watering it. Came back this year, flowered and seeded. Need to collect seed.>garlic always does well. We use a lot of garlic. Store bought is "just as good!" since its just dried and not processed but its awesome to just go out in the yard and dig it up when you need fresh. Probably my favorite part of growing shit.Pic is garlic just starting to seed.We have so much that just spreads from root that we dont actually "plant" any (that pic is from my lawn) but im thinking of taking the seeds and nurturing it across about a half acre.Fuck it.I love garlic and have property so why not...
>>2872080Onion seeds.I was really excited about this because ive had onions flower but never seed.I like to cook and ive seen recipes with "onion seed" so I was pumped and then i actually googled it and "onion seeds" in cooking recipes isnt actually "onion seeds" but some shit called "Nigella" and actual onion seeds are only used to grow more onions.So im going to grow a fuckload of onions.
>>2872081Snapdragon I grew from seed from hard-core stock that lasted 2+ years and bloomed in the snow.I was afraid that the seeds would be like morning glory and instantly regress to the "big blue" dominant gene variant but I have tons of colors so this is my second highlight of the natural world (first being catching a wild scarlet kingsnake- dont worry I released it in the treeline. Got some good pics to match the pattern if I find it again someday)
I don't like the new mower I got a month ago, I can't return it because I used it and it's been a little over a month. Oh well, thank you for reading my blog
>>2872084Ive seen your future and it was glorious.
>>2872086I want to get a Stihl mower or go balls to the wall and get a ferris 15fw.
>>2872089>brandfag
>>2872078>mines real and not AII hate to be the bearer of bad news
>>2872095>Using names makes you a brandfagWew
>raspberry already producing the first fruits of the season>one of the banana pepper plants i bought already produced a long thin pepper>tons of flowers on the squash alreadycan't wait for more stuff to get blooming and growingThe biggest problem i have right now is what i believe is sawfly larvae eating the rosebush leaves. This is the third year they've been eating away at the plant. Is there a better spray i should be using to try and get rid of them? I was using neem oil but that seems to only work for a little bit and then they eat the shit out of the plant even if i spray some more.
>>2872143Have you tried first press neem oil and mixing it with water and a surfactant of your own?
>>2872145hmm no i haven't. would that be like mixing it with a little dawn dish soap then?
>>2872154Yes or the most mild soap you have
I put my radishes in my raised bed using seed tape. The north side are doing great, but the south aren't looking as healthy (same for the cucumbers on the left but its less extreme). I thought it might be a nutrient deficiency and mixed a few coffee grounds into the soil on the weaker ones but it hasn't done anything. Any idea of what's going on and what I could do?
>>2872163Does the shed cast a shadow on them during the morning?Some plants strongly prefer gentle morning light during the cooler part of the day. So for mid-day and evening they'll go into "survival mode" during the brightest and hottest times of the day. So the southern ones have a smaller window of photosynthesis. Unironically the solution might be to add shade cloth to keep them cool and give them a longer window of gentle light. Then maybe removing shade cloth as they mature and can handle more direct sun. You also should have filled up that bed more. The sides are also casting a shadow onto your plants. Check the soil temp of the cucumbers, which may also need shade cloth over the plant and around black bucket.
>>2872191based post. shade cloth can be crucial for sensitive plants, and that does include radishes, beets, and cucumbers. they all do great with only about 3-4 hours is direct sun per day, and benefit from shade cloth if the sun exposure exceeds that.
>>2871293Spider mites and fungus gnats killed my sick strawberry plant.Some other mysterious insect is causing leaf burn and sticky sap on my indoor avocados. Google says leafhopper, but I've only ever seen a few leafminers, which are dead now. For now I'm going systemic with imidacloprid, since I won't be getting any avocados for 2 years.
