  1. So you rinse it, seal it in a bag with barely damp sphagnum, and set it at the back of the refrigerator for ninety to a hundred and twenty days. In spring you plant it an inch down in a deep pot. Five to seven years later, fruit no corporation ever priced.

    Bi socair — be still.

    What are you growing that won't pay off for years?

  6. My melon harvest for this year. I only had one plant survive. I wanted to try a variety with small fruit. These are about 12 oz/345 grams. The vines are compact enough I may try them in containers next year. I only ended up with two melons, but they were worth the effort. So good!
    (Birds ate all my early season seedlings. I started these in June which is pretty late so I'm pleased to get any fruit at all.) #gardening

  10. Today's quest: figure out where to bury lots of papaya seeds again, so that they will self sprout next year in the El Nino / climate driven heating. (had some papaya seedlings from compost successfully sprout in the garden, and some still alive--in pots--, in Southern California this year... highly unusual). I suppose if I spread them everywhere in the yard maybe some more will come up this year and will have some possibility of El Nino papaya harvest. 🤷 It would go along with all the tropical weather we are having, still. #gardening #climatediary

  14. Finally removing the last Bradford pear in our yard (yay!).

    Hoping to plant a small tree (less than 25-foot) to replace it.

    Considering Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis), White dogwood (Cornus florida), or crabapple (Malus sp.).

    Any other suggestions for small native trees for Zone 6b?

  24. A major project completed today. This section of our backyard was a construction site most of the summer as we added a drainage system down the fence line taking excess water 150 feet to the street. Finally cleaning up the mess and putting everything back together.

  29. Yesterday I finally got the chance to tell a neighbour how gorgeous his front garden is. I’ve been admiring it all summer long. Nice older gentleman. He told me to come back in the spring and he’d give me some of his lilies. Looking forward to it Joe!
