First of all CURSE the evil furfaces. Ate two of the last 3 ears, the little basterds. And then they drop their leavings right at the kitchen door, 60 flipping feet from the scene of the crime. Evil I tell you, they’re evil.
Anyway, 5 ears of Bon Appetit corn, a space-saving variety re...

I figured when I planted that I’d need 5 to 7 pumpkins to be able to can what I could use and had room for. Well, I got my 7 pumpkins, but it’s now a race against the powdery mildew. Just hoping the pumpkins ripen before the mildew kills the vines. I’ve treated and sprayed wi...

Conventional wisdom said that our 50-gallon pond (surface area barely 12 sq feet) is too small for water lilies, so we’ve always used either water lettuces or water hyacinths for surface shade. However, these are ugly in a small pond.
So this year I said heck with conventional wisdom, we&#...

24 Jun 2009Corn just became even more experimental 1 7 Corn, Country Gentleman Treating, Three Sisters, their dog plus the neighbors garden , and Corn, Country Ge...The Country Gentleman in Three Sisters is looking worse and worse. A week ago it was all green if tiny. Then a few days ago a couple of the “stalks” (if you can call a 4" high corn plant a stalk) started having burnt-looking tips to the leaves. Two days ago half of them had le...31°C / 88°F

12 Jun 2009Edibles 3 Serpentine garden , Three Sisters, their dog plus the neighbors garden , Corn, Bon Appetit-- indoor tray , ...Cloudy 21°C / 69°F
Of course, if you think about it, everything in a garden is edible to someone. It’s just our hubris as homo sapiens to consider edible only those things that WE eat.
Tried to get back on a normal planting schedule, which has been thrown in disarray by the unseasonal weather. I know what&#...

I’m so bored with the weather. It’s so cool still- dipping to 50 at night, low 60s and overcast all day. It’s slowing everything down. I was going to wait until the next sunny warm day, when all these sprouts that are just barely peeking through the soil would be more sure of...
