Cicada Season

Hello Friends! 

Having reached Lughnasadh and Lammas, halfway between the Summer Solstice and the Autumn Equinox, we are moving into late summer and fair and sweet corn season. I’m not much of a fair goer, I like the concept, but the crowds are too much for me. If I go to the State Fair in St Paul—The Great Minnesota Get Together—I have to really pump myself up for it. And I somehow inevitably end up going on what turns out to be the hottest day of the fair. As a result, I have not been in years and years. I kind of want to go, and maybe I will—next year. That way I will have time to prepare myself.

We do have a little Lammas celebration at my house though since the local sweet corn shows up here around August first. James has not had time to cook the sweet corn we bought Saturday, but he did make cornbread-blueberry waffles for breakfast this morning. Soon we will have some proper corn dish. I have a recipe for corn fritters I want him to try out this year. I really wish I could grow my own corn (I have tried many times!) but the forking squirrels make it impossible.

It is also cicada season here. We don’t get those big hatchings like they do in other parts of the United States, we just have the run-of-the-mill annual cicadas buzzing in the trees and bushes. I love their noise even if seeing them alive freaks me out every time because they are so huge and I don’t immediately recognize what the big bug is because they don’t make it habit to leave the shrubbery. Once I realize who the critter is, I relax and greet them joyfully. Maybe one of these days my initial eek! reflex will go away because it must be quite a blow to the insect’s self-esteem to have me eeking at them before apologizing and saying hello.

I heard the first cicada a little over a week ago, and then everything went silent during our last brutal heat dome (Last Sunday it was 99F/37C and then Monday it was 100F/38C. The dew point that morning was 81F/27C, which tied for second highest dew point on record. Thankfully the dew point had dropped several degrees before the temperature shot up.) from cicadas to crickets to birds and people, silently enduring. Even the raccoons left us alone (The little effers have since returned and now I have to bring my culinary ginger I am growing in a pot on the deck indoors at night so they don’t dig it up again).

The poor chickens, who don’t have sweat glands, dug themselves deep wallows in the dirt beneath the elderberry and splooted in their holes, panting and moving as little as possible.

The garden suffered greatly. Everything drooped. We were so hot and dry (Friday it rained 1.5 inches/3.8 cm!) and I couldn’t water everyone enough. We tried and most everyone managed to pull through except the skunk, scarlet runner and Hidasta pole beans. They died before barely producing any beans. And the butternut this year is puny and sad and at this point is not likely to produce a single squash. The volunteer pumpkin managed to pull through and the long pie pumpkin, which has a small pumpkin the size of a softball, is not quite dead. The green striped cushaw however, reveled in the heat; a surprise because the dinner plate-sized leaves drooped alarmingly. There are three vines and between them four or five squashes. One of them is as large as a child’s head!

This is the first year I have grown green striped cushaw. They are a winter squash that can reach up to 20 pounds/9 kg. They are resistant to squash vine borer and powdery mildew and, unlike most other squashes, appreciate warmer weather. Their origins seem to be disputed. Monticello says they are from the West Indies while Wikipedia says they originated in southern Mexico. I have also seen some say they originated with Native Americans in the southeast United States. Maybe it is all true because the squash has been grown for around 8,000 years and plants and people move around and change. Cushaws are a versatile squash and can substitute for pumpkin. If we end up liking their flavor, I’m thinking I might give up growing pumpkin and go all in on cushaws.

And if summers continue to be like this one, I might need to find a butternut substitute as well. I am saddened by that thought because I love butternut squash. However, if you know of a good butternut substitute I could try that is heat tolerant, please let me know!

There is not much to do in the garden this time of year besides keep things weeded and watered and harvest the fruits of my labor from earlier in the season. I am almost done pruning out the raspberry canes that fruited this year so the canes that will fruit next year have plenty of room to grow. And I did plant kale, turnips, Swiss chard, winter radish, cabbage and kohlrabi for fall harvesting. I’ve not had much success in the past with fall harvests, but I keep trying and maybe will get it figured out through trial and error. With fall lasting well into the end of October these days late season vegetables have more of a chance to make it to maturity.

But really, it’s the part of the growing season where I’m kind of tired and find motivating myself to do any large garden projects a challenge. The days are noticeably shorter and the energy of spring and early summer is waning. There will be plenty to do in the weeks to come—the aronia is starting to purple and the elderberries will soon follow, the Kentucky wonder beans are covered in flowers, the tomatoes are tomatoing, the lemon cucumbers are almost ready to start picking, and the lima beans and black-eyed peas are both lush and covered in flowers. But for now, it is good to be able to sit back and take a few breaths, relax for a week or two, and gather my energy before the mad rush to the end of the growing season begins.

Hello Friends!

These past two weeks have seen me spending all of my free time picking raspberries or working on a dharma talk for my sangha this last Thursday. Now I am busy in the garden and catching up with all the things I let slide.

A heat dome arrived today and we are under an excessive heat warning through at least July 14th. High heat and high humidity. I remember the good old days when I first moved to Minnesota in 1994. Summers then were so much cooler. More than five or six days of 90F/32C or higher heat was rare. Now I’m looking at 90F/32C or hotter for this entire week, and it isn’t even the first string of excessive heat days we’ve had. The climate is thoroughly broken.

There is no rain in the forecast, the heat dome is keeping the rain away, so I will need to hand water the garden from the rain barrels. That promises to be a sweaty affair.

The garden has thus far been abundant. Those raspberries:

We’ve had so many this year! We’re putting them in our morning porridge, smoothies, making small batch jam, and I donated some to my neighborhood food shelf (Have also donated a lot of arugula, some herbs and onions). And still the freezer is packed with them. The freezer is also packed with rhubarb. James is going to be doing some canning, but we are also considering a small chest freezer for the basement.

The peas were doing great this year until the first heat wave rolled through at the end of June and the peas decided it was too hot for them. The heat followed by rain nearly every day for over a week, kick started the rest of the garden though.

All the squashes are vining and flowering, the cucumbers are vining and starting to flower, the citron melons are vining but I haven’t seen flowers yet. And the beans! The pole beans have all reached the top of their trellises and are reaching for the sky. I’m picking a cereal bowl full of yellow wax beans nearly every day. All the cherry tomatoes are covered in fruit and I look at them daily, anticipating when they will be ripe. The other tomato plants have tiny fruit that will take a while yet because they are all paste and slicing tomatoes. I can hardly wait for the first bite of sandwich with a fresh from the garden slice of tomato on it. Mmmmm.

Tired of poles falling over during big thunderstorms, James and I built two sturdy arches this spring. I’ve got pole beans climbing up one side and winter squash climbing the other side:

I am pleased with them and I think I will add a third next spring. I took this photo a week ago. The beans and the squash are at the top of the arch today. The beans here are brown resilient beans. They began life four years ago as bush beans and last year they decided to revert to pole beans. The squash is green striped cushaw. I have not grown it before. The leaves are gigantic and so are the vines. Here’s some flowers and bees on the vine this morning:

The garden has also gifted me with a volunteer pumpkin. Last year I planted saved seeds from Naked Bear pumpkin I had grown the previous year, not realizing this variety of pepita pumpkin is a hybrid. I got one small pumpkin last summer whose seeds were regular seeds, not pepita seeds. It cooked up as a nice, not sweet, pumpkin. The vine also had a giant elongated pumpkin that a squirrel ripped apart just before it was ripe. The squirrel scattered some of the seeds, and one of them sprouted. The vine is vigorous and I have to keep redirecting it out of the garden path and away from a tomato plant. So far it has two pumpkins and I spied a third tiny one this morning:

I am strategizing on how I can protect them later in the season. I have no idea how big they will get, whether the seeds inside will be shell-free, or how sweet the flesh will be, but I look forward to finding out!

Here’s a couple big view photos of the garden this year I took about two weeks ago:

This year we’ve made milkweed flower jelly and daylily flower jelly. Both are delicate floral flavors that are lovely on toast made from, for example, this medjool date-sunflower-orange tea sourdough bread I baked:

Instead of using plain water in the recipe I made sweet orange tea and used the tea. So delicious! And now I am wondering what other teas might go good in various sourdough loaves. Whole wheat chai spice? Multigrain green tea? Cinnamon-raisin chamomile? It would be fun to try mint but I am not certain what bread I would pair it with, maybe a seedy Danish rye?

The chickens are doing great. Baba and Nanny are now three months old:

They have their big girl voices now, no more peeping. They are friendly and curious and will eat from my hand, which meant Baba got the huge grasshopper I caught this morning much to Sia’s chagrin. Sia is head chicken, for now. I suspect once the witches are full size, Baba will challenge Sia for top of the pecking order.

And there you have it. If it is hot where you are, stay safe and find somewhere cool to be. Take care everyone!

Would you look at the size of my first ever pumpkins!!! If they're this big now are they going to be GINORMOUS in October?!! 🎃 there's like 30 of them as well. Might open a pumpkin stall out front if they're gonna be awesome.

Plants are weird.

The butternut pumpkin seeds I planted in individual pots, in speciallised seed starting mix, and placed in the perfect position for optimal light and warmth, and watered (but not overwateted) diligently to ensure the absolute best opportunity for them to germinate: Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zero germination.

The extra butternut pumpkin seeds that I had, that I figured I'd just experiment with, and unceremoniously chucked in shallow dry dirt-holes along the weed-filled fenceline of our garden, and then just left to their own devices: Fucking up on time and thriving.

Like, what the heck? I dunno why we bother with all this seedling molly-coddling sometimes, when those little buggers are just gonna do what they do without our input anyway.

RE: https://mastodon.online/@donray/116593134585815139

My sixth grade social studies teacher, David Miley, flew into a rage and berated me one day, shouting that I would never amount to anything. Two sons of his, a few years behind me in school, went on post-high-school to win contests for growing very large pumpkins. Tales of freakishly large gourds reminds me of that strange family.
