Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, July 8Hello to all you gardeners, putterers, adventurers and readers! This morning, we are starting out with a beautiful photo which I usually think of as a mountain wildflower: Hi. Been reading Ace of Spades for many years. Thought you might like to see a picture of one of the bitterroots growing in our yard in Montana. Beautiful! Makes me wish I were there. Or maybe somewhere else in the mountains or higher elevations where they might grow. I happen to have some photos from a friend's trip to Island Park, Idaho:
They have big mosquitos there, reportedly. There are often challenges on these quests for beauty:
From By-Tor: My LA County Fair ribbons came today. The white is third place for my sauerkraut; my apple butter won 1st place, Best of Class, and Best of Division. Congratulations, By-Tor! An inspiration for The Horde! Takes some advanced planning, though. Seemed like a bacon and eggs and prize-winning apple butter morning. Mmmmm . . . Hey KT, Great news about the jujube fruits! "Thornless" is a big deal with jujubes because the spines can be wicked. Thornless varieties are often grafted onto thorny rootstocks, and they sucker. So you have to be careful. Dear K. T., Great report, Nemo! The peaches and broccoli look wonderful. And you're right about the quality of fresh-from-the-garden broccoli. On some varieties, picking the central head early will give you more side heads later. On others, it won't. Anybody else harvesting anything? Wish you had one of these? They could make a home model, couldn't they?
Ah, Nature We were just discussing Hammerhead Worms on June 24, and now we have a real example! This was on the side of my shop yesterday morning. A hammerhead worm. I had heard they are an invasive species, but this is the first one I have seen. Supposedly they eat earthworms. It’s about a foot long stretched out. Don't chop it up. Just makes more of them. Puttering Doing any puttering?
Anything going on in your garden? Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
