Saturday Gardening and Puttering Thread, August 7![]() Above, a trip to a sunflower farm in Washington State. Below, other interesting things. Have you been able to spend some time gardening or puttering? Plant and Insect ID Hi KT, Here's something delightful: I found these guys working on a oak tree in the yard. I've never seen them around here and don't know what they are. ![]() They were absolutely still, frozen in position as shown in the pictures, even after I broke the branch off.. ![]() I didn't check with CBD. Hope he's OK with including them here rather than in the Food Thread. When you eat insects, it's a bonus to when they don't move, I think. Our outdoor carnivorous plant expert, Tony Litwin, identified the plant in the photo last week which was growing on an electrical wire: For those interested, that pic of that Bromeliad growing on the wires under the heading Houseplants, is a Catopsis Berteroniana, one of only 3 carnivorous Bromeliads in the entire world, and is native from South Florida to South America where it grows on electric wires and trees, sometimes at ground level. Edible Gardening and Farming It's peach and blackberry season for lots of folks. Our July Elberta peaches are done (they were great this year), but there are others coming on. And who has blackberries in their yard? Or boysenberries? ![]() Here's a recipe for Blackberry Buckle, with a somewhat entertaining video. You have any recipes named after zippers? My friend's all-time favorite dessert is vanilla bean peach pie This writer won't shame you for struggling with the crust. ![]() My friend lives in Washington State. It is too hot to bake here, so here's a no- cook recipe, Peach Gazpacho. It's savory, with the peaches taking the place of tomatoes. ![]() For a sweet stove-free recipe, here's peach soup. Desert Update Hi KT, European pears should be picked hard and ripened indoors. At least most of them. Anybody have experience with Asian pears? A couple of pictures of the Agave pups that I have tucked into different pots here and there. I did 6 and so far they are all looking good. I keep them in smaller pots until they have established some roots and can go into some bigger pots or in the ground. Thanks for the update on the babies. Gordon sent in some remarkable photos of blue-eyed bees sleeping in desert flowers, from Epoch Times. Puttering I loved the interchange between Skip and Kindltot about free library projects and such last week. There are always challenges. Here's one summary of steps to take to survive in the wilderness. One of our friends survived in the wilderness at Yosemite for several days, with not much more than a water bottle. This summary assumes that you would be somewhat more prepared. Take heed. Maybe you could make a kit. Gardens of The Horde Saved a couple of photos from Jerry in Alaska for The Broiling Times. We had a tough winter as a number of our nice perennials did not make it to 2021. Emoji Summer so far has been dry and cool so plants are adjusting their bloom cycle. As we approach solstice we have 24 hours of visible daylight. Sun up to sun down is over 19 hours. Our early Primrose are fading and the last one to bloom was the Cowslip. Caught a bee in the Bleeding Heart Photo. Love those. The Cowslip Primrose looks kinda "wild".
