  1. A good recap from Natalie Whiting (ABCNews). And while I don’t wish to add to the newsmedia *Beat up* it has so obviously become (as well as a political jab from Tri-Opposition), it does highlight #AlboPM ‘s *faux pas* in a monumental error of PR exercise for which he is paying dearly — as he should. I say this because the #PM would’ve been briefed on the *Cultural* significance of #TakaiichiPM ‘s State gift during her visit to Australia. Hence there is no excuse for *wanting* to pander to a stupid show host’s crass proddings. This is all on Albo (and whomever convinced him to go on these #Nutter shows), even as the Japanese govt wishes (despite its ambasadorial opinion piece), in true face-saving efforts, to sweep it all under the carpet. See, nothing to see here.

  3. Surprised people defending #albo over #melons. He went on a show based on childish double entendres, then directed one at a foreign leader, then pretended it was out of context. Not a huge deal, but gratuitous harm to our national interest done in the pursuit of some imagined bogan voter. #auspol

  7. The Kentucky Blue pole beans are mostly up after 1 or 2 replanting, the melon bed and the pea bed are a bit flowery.

  9. Why did a pair of Japanese Yubari King melons just fetch a record 5.8m yen (£27,000)? It’s not a meal; it’s corporate PR theater.

    Wholesale buyers pay crazy prices at the season's first auction for instant national news coverage. In Japan, flawless fruit is a luxury status symbol given as a high-respect gift. These melons are grown with obsessive care: one fruit per vine, daily manual massages with cotton gloves, and tiny sun-hats to prevent blemishes.

  13. All the cucumbers, melons, squash, and 1 runner bean are up. I thinned everything to 2. When the first cucumber sprouted I looked at the bottom of the pot by chance and noticed there was already a root poking out! The hibiscus has another flower ready to open, the other fell off the same day I noticed it so I guess I missed it for a day or two.

  14. Melloona – where things grow a little differently

    • ♥ ! • Happy Fantasy Faire • ! ♥ • It’s that time of the year again. Every year I think I know what to expect, and every year it still feels a bit unreal when everything finally comes together. What starts as scattered ideas becomes a world of its own. This year, Luna and I sponsored and built Melloona. Melloona is a quiet, curious realm where the familiar turns gently impossible. Expect wild colors, vines and of course, melons. It doesn’t shout, it hums softly and […]

  15. Yippie skippy! Picked up about 40-50 pounds of fresh produce today from the monthly Borderland food rescue non-profit. They pick up veggies and fruit stored in big warehouses by the growers in Yuma. It’s all very fresh and donated as long as Borderlands can get a few trucks and drivers and volunteers.

    You don’t know from one month to the next what you will have and how much, so they try to spread it through the state taking different locations. In the Valley here there could be 4 and then one in Tucson, 1 in Safford and one in Ajo.

    I get to make my spaghetti sauce today! Love it because it cooks half the day and the house smells great. I freeze it in ziplock bags to use all year mixed with canned spaghetti sauce. It always tastes fresh and homemade. Squash, zucchini, bell peppers, melons too. I send half home to our helper’s family.

  16. I have found two perfect cantaloupe #melons this summer. Despite the awful din that is pressing in, this small (and perfectly sweet) bonus is helping to make things suck a bit less.

    In other news, I appear to be remaining on my own for brewing for at least another 3 months.

    More melon, please. And medicated brownie. And nostalgic funk. And some single malt. Thanks.

  17. Sad post.
    I failed with #galia #melons this year. Boo. I'll try again, next year. They did well, last year & I'm unsure why they're so small, this year.

  18. Finland's summers are getting longer and hotter - local produce at Gårdsboden #FarmShop #kirkkonummi #finland #melons #climate

  19. Some of things picked in the garden since last Wednesday. The little melons are done now, some carrots big enough for more than a taste, enough tomatoes that made 3 quarts of sauce, some tomatillo that fall off everyday, another green-flesh honeydew melon that tasted a little sweeter than the last one, more beans, cucumbers, squash, and zucchini.
