#ThreeGoodThings #3GoodThings

1. The #applejuice (actually a medley -- there are some #pears, #plums, maybe a little bit of banana pepper in it) has not gone off and there is still time to can it for later use, will get more jars tomorrow. 2 gallons. We did not have that many #apples but the neighborhood provides by dropping fruit at my feet as I ramble along the sidewalks with my two sticks. The juicer died so I blended everything and let the pomace drain through a screen basket. It's nice stuff. I pre-wash the sticky utensils with the hose over a bin and the #pomace and the wash water go to garden beds and trees.

Along with many #horticultural, #orcharding and #farming terms, Mastodon's speller does not seem to know "pomace." But it knows more of them than most of the competition. It is forgiven.

2. The last #potatoes are lifted. We were to hit 94F today, so I hurried a little. There may be orphans. These were a batch that sprouted after a family member bought them -- Pontiacs. I was out of garden beds and planted them close along the paver pathway down the middle of the caged (deer proof) garden. Deer don't bother them but there being no space elsewhere, in they went rather late. Did not do badly at all.

3. While walking, I passed a young girl who had just fished a book out of a free pile beneath a catalpa tree and was reading it already as she went by. I stopped at the same pile and came away with a pretty mug whose handle fits my fingers just right, and does not burn my lips with hot tea, just I hoped.

Monster cabbage! Birsay gardener spills the beans - #Orkney

A colossal #cabbage which would — quite literally — bowl over the competition at any #horticultural show, has sprouted in a West Mainland #polytunnel.

Joan Mowat has been left to wonder whether there is something in the air — or perhaps the soil — in her #Birsay #garden, after growing the #monstrous #vegetable.

I am the lorax I speak for the trees.
Here I post mostly work or not at all if I can help it. I can be found all over the internet elsewhere however! Consider this place my front door.

The volume of my work and my services are offered at the #free store.
What does an #anarchist business model look like? This is what an anarchist business model looks like.
I call it the free store plus, because you can plus me some money if you like. While I don't hassle, and I am a humble man, calamity ironically struck before I was prepared. The #homestead is not finished, many of the systems are only halfway completed at best. My little storefront is now my only source of income https://ko-fi.com/b_whitewind/shop
A direct link to my #botany #horticultural and work out in the #green is here. If my services aren't what brought you by

My main social is now elsewhere. My taste are rather outlandish for the crowd here, which I can respect so I've taken the party elsewhere so to speak. Find me touching grass at

While most of my work is mirrored on ko-fi, you can find a direct link to my YouTube channel here.

Unlike my various social media accounts, the only time anything is posted to Ko-fi or my YouTube channel is when it is work related. So if that's what you're here for, that's where you'll find it.
My personal account is now https://bsky.app/profile/bishopwhitewind.bsky.social
Again, thank you for stopping by, and blessed be.

Drying out #Poppy #SeedHeads.
Saving some to sow next year. Giving some to friends. Putting a few, after I package up, in my future community free #seeds library - setting it up in September.

Exploring the multifaceted role of #MicroRNA156 in #horticultural #plants.

The #horticultural foodbowl of the lower Murray has for decades been known for its vineyards, citrus and stonefruit orchards, but a global price shift has seen a new crop dominate the landscape, with big implications for #Australia 's most precious commodity — water.
#Almonds have become the largest crop grown in the lower #Murray, with more than 45,000 hectares planted. Almonds are more #water intensive than other horticultural crops traditionally grown in the area and require 12.5 million litres of water per hectare.
The Almond Board of Australia is calling on #NSW and #SA to follow #Victoria 's lead and impose a moratorium on new horticultural developments in the lower Murray. #DriestcontinentonEarth #driestcontinent

Some more pics from RHS Hyde Hall taken yesterday - this is the floral fantasia garden. So much colour!

A comprehensive map of the #genome of a native #lime species that is resistant to a devastating #citrus #disease could be the key to preventing that disease entering Australia.

#OTD Emily #Dickinson, American #Poet, is born.

The #Author #JudithFarr, said Emily was "known more as a #Gardener, than a poet."

After #Emily died, her #Sister, #Lavina tended her #Cottage #Garden.
A niece recalled,

"All her #Flowers did as they liked: tyrannized over her, hopped out of their own beds & into each other’s beds - were never reproved or removed as long as they #Bloomed;
For a #Live #Flower to #Aunt Lavinia was more than any #Dead #Horticultural #Principle."
