Isn't that the dang truth? I think the Law has stuck with me more than anything tbh. I redefine "reverent" in my own terms, but it still applies.

It was really a matter of necessity ... the tarps were in the shed, and the budget didn't have any room for anything else lol

Flirting with a light freeze tonight, and there are plants in the kitchen garden we want to save for a few more weeks. So I improvised this cover from old tarps, 1x10s, and twine. Thanks to BSA for the old lashing skills, and my kids for the "hold this while I tie it" help.

There's something about nomming up a jalapeno straight from the garden...

Without a shred of irony, I used the phrase "synchronistic collaboration" in my year-end review today.

I feel dirty and ashamed.

And not in the good way.

Yes, but there's no possible way I can grow all that basil!! Can I cook with them, ala poppy seeds? They're about the same size....

Late season basil trying to dominate the peppers, oregano, thyme, tomato, and lone leek.

What a jerk.

Thanks!

It's an original parody, if that's what you mean. I think Mssrs. Simon and Garfunkle get credit for the original ;-)

If your giant basil is covered with bees, does it become beezil?

Nice! I didn't know it grew here ... had never seen it before. One of my fave plants. Hmm ... I wonder if I can snag some seed ...

I know this as Snow on the Mountain, and am a bit surprised to see it in N. Tx.

I'm from TN. My dad studied that trial when he was in law school at UT. 'Nother $100 coming your way for the memories :-)

mindreader. I had this exactly same convo with a friend the other day. "Congress can do whatever but until we fix the Constitution none of that matters. Capture the Court, capture the country."

So do the microgreen farmers or the mature-green farmers donate more money to members of the current regime?

I expect future "studies" to move in that direction very quickly.

(fd: I agree with the study, but I'm cynical as hell these days)

Trust me, its not all cucurbit heaven in my yard. I have another cuke patch (bushies vs. these vining ones) that are NOT doing well. They're in the direct TX midday sun, and are struggling mightily. Since the plants are weak, all manner of maladies have appeared. *sigh*

Cukehedge!
Tis a magic place
Where the bees doth rise with a pollen face...

"disproportionately white". Total coincidence, I'm sure.

At Harvard? Good luck, Ms, Ardern.

HOW DARE THEY NOT BEND THE KNEE AND KISS THE "RING" !!!

A small immature squash fruit with blossom end rot

Hello blosson end rot my old friend
We're low on calcium again
I'll hit the beds up with some meal of bone
So I can grow some tasties for my home
And the squash and zucchini will be growing up the trellis
wall
For us all
This is the sound
Of #yardening
