  4. Was just out doing a quick bit of deadheading between showers. A couple of these geraniums have started to flower, in October 🤔

  5. They are 16 days without getting anyone's donation to our land fundraiser, yet within this time ,several families lacked food and they would continue lacking lacking what to eat if our goal is not raised such that we can grow more food and train more young people!

  6. Pulled about a billion stink bugs off the three citrus. Bastards stained my hands through the heckin gloves. #gardening #auatralia

  7. It has been a weird week, emotionally. I'm reducing my tea intake a bit and I think the lower caffeine is affecting my mood (you'd think it wouldn't make a difference but my body really notices caffeine).

    Anyway. This moment is not forever, etc etc. I have sunflower seedlings to plant out and an orange cake to bake. My sister is in town this weekend so we'll catch up for coffee (herbal tea) later. And I'll have time to practise flugelhorn too. That will be enough for today

  8. We have about 8 Brussel Sprouts plants in our garden. We usually wait to have some until a few good frosts, which sweeten them up. Tonight we decided to harvest one anyway. It was delicious but did not have the sweetness it usually does. Anyway it looked beautiful cooked, so here's a photo of it .

  10. Tribute To The Last Of The Tomatoes

    Am now huge fan of farm to table. My table.

    This is the last teeny slicer tomato 🍅 gleaned from my mom's abused plants. There wasn't a real ID on these but they're one of my favorites now.

    The small cucumber 🥒 is the last from the garden now and something I'll always be looking for again. Generically named as well (a local mega-nursery donates these to neighbors to keep the peace). I once picked up similar from a farmer's market. The vendor was Japanese and his tomatoes and cucumbers were delicious. Not sure if he picks early or that's just the variety. I'm new to harvesting and there's so much to learn, which is part of the fun.

    The good news is there are stragglers popping up on plants I thought were dead already. We'll see if they yield anything before it's too late. I'm told it will get too cold but am doubting that might ever be true again. I hope it does though.

    I roasted a whole white onion in foil and it's slightly caramelized and delicious. Good thing to do if you have to many. They do spoil more quickly than some folks seems to realize.

    I like my bagels open-faced and toasted and I cannot lie. I don't like that hard-ass cream cheese consistency anymore. It smashes and crumbles the bagel, is stubborn to get off the knife and out of the container, which can be wasteful. Prefer a reasonably spreadable version of possible now. The bagels 🥯 ain't nothin to write home about. Just a generic substrate, just a goodies delivery system, really.

  11. Got this as a gift a few days ago. Called the balloon plant, as the buds look like air balloons.

  12. How #gardening may extend your life and make it better

    By Jeanette Marantos, Sept. 1, 2022

    Excerpt: "You don’t have to be an expert gardener to reap the benefits. In fact, several studies indicate benefits from just being around #soil laced with bacteria that doesn’t cause disease: #MycobacteriumVaccae or M. vaccae for short. This species of benign bacteria exists in soil all over the world, but it was first discovered on the shore of Lake Kyoga in Uganda in the 1970s by immunologist John Stanford after researchers noticed that leprosy patients who lived around the lake responded better to treatments than those receiving the same treatment in other areas.

    "Christopher Lowry, a professor at University of Colorado Boulder, has spent more than 20 years studying and marveling at microorganisms in the natural world that help humans fight disease, known as 'old friends.' Their absence in rich urban countries like the U.S. has made children more prone to allergies and inflammatory diseases."

  14. ALCHEMY AND PEPPER SEEDS. You Plant Mexican Pepper Seeds And You Reap Death Berries. Nightshade…

    Written By: Marlene* Friday 9th October, 2026. Greetings All and Thanks for reading my words and visiting my site. I just want to say that I really do appreciate you sharing my site in several places. I have no Social Media presence, personally, my work is never for sale and I will never edit with AI, which is an option. I can even do a podcast, so many options, but I am fine right here. I do not believe I need a Newsletter. There are 67 countries where you have visited my site. Thanks from […]

  15. Fallen apples + long grass = a garden rat problem! 🍏🐀
    Found rat holes across the lawn after spending weeks at the allotment. I've set up a trail cam on the apple tree to gauge how many there are before taking action.
    Stay tuned for the footage! 🎥

  16. Agriculture isn't the act of growing food but an act of growing patience,investment, hope as well as application of hard work which pays at the end.
    These onions are ready for harvest because we were able to plant them sometime back,and they are going to play a great role in supporting families who have nothing to eat.

  17. And take the warning as seriously as the remedy: same family as aspirin, so if aspirin's off the table for you, so is this. Blood thinners, pregnancy, a child with a fever — no. Ask your pharmacist. She'd rather you asked than didn't.

  18. Seileach. Willow bark, and it is not folklore standing next to medicine — it is where the medicine came from. Salicin in the inner bark, converted by your gut into salicylic acid, which is aspirin's own chemistry with the factory left off

  19. Took down the last of our tomato plants in pots*: 5kg of red ones for the freezer (mostly San Marzano for future sauce), another ~2.5kg that need to ripen a bit more, 1.5kg of green for chutney, and about 1kg of cherry ones for eating fresh.

    Our total haul this summer has been at least 25kg, which isn't bad considering we got to a rather late start on the San Marz.

    * I've left some volunteers growing in the ground. Might get another kg off them before the first frost.

  20. First year of 3 Sisters: successes and lessons learned

    Rather than infodumping in the comments on another post, I figured I would make my own infodump about my attempt at a 3 sisters bed. I WILL be repeating simply because this was the only place in my garden I could stand in August after about 10 am. More in comments. by UntoNug…

  21. Today I cleaned the onion seeds. Rijnsburger 5 Bingo was most prolific with 37 g of seeds. At a weight of ~3-4g/1000 seeds that could produce about 10.000 onions at an average of 55g each.
    For the first batch, I winnowed the seed outside. Since we had more and more rain, I had to give up on that. Time to finally build a #SeedCleaner:
    realseeds.co.uk/seedcleaner.ht
    At a total of 50g onion seeds, we could grow onions for a few families - land provided.

    Some of the Mexican sunflowers (Tithonia) have more dried seed heads than flowers. And the seeds are falling out (or being eaten by goldfinches).

    I collected a few to be ready for next year.

    Another article from The European Correspondent. This one is about eating seasonally. I grew up helping my mother to make preserves from what was growing in our garden and I am still doing so! How about you?
