Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Oct. 19Happy Autumn, everyone! We have a special treat today: Kibbutz Ein Gedi is situated above the shores of the Dead Sea in Israel. About 60 years ago, the kibbutz began planting its botanical garden, which essentially covers the kibbutz’s open areas. From Wikipedia: Truly a remarkable place, considering that there are 500 people living in the kibbutz. I recognize some of the plants, but certainly not all of them. I read that it's hot there, and isolated, but there's a spring. Thanks for these fascinating photos!
I missed this last week: Hi, A couple of things off the top of my head: 1. You don't need pollinators for carrots or tomatoes. You do for zucchini or melons, though you can hand-pollinate zucchini. 2. Miracle-Gro potting mixes vary regionally and by specific mix. Check locally for recommendations. Some of the icky kinds may be government-mandated. 3. Methods for testing melon ripeness vary by variety. It's easiest to tell if you choose one that slips from the vine when ripe. Any other tips for OrangeEnt? Grapes of Wrath I missed yesterday’s Gardening thread. Oops! “But they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig-tree; and none shall make them afraid; for the mouth of the LORD of hosts hath spoken.” – Michah 4:4 Makes me sorta misty. What a wonderful thing. Sounds like a great variety, too. Ah, Nature Chinese infiltrator warning Hi I was out on my little terrace and spotted a bug. I have very loud crickets that keep me up at night so went to step on when it spread its wings and turned into something beautiful. I took a picture intending to send it to the garden thread for ID when my phone told me it was an adult spotted Lantern Fly an invasive species from China. They are really gross. Aside from damaging crops and trees, they feed in large groups producing a sickly sweet by product called honeydew which leads to fungal diseases.They are swarming right now in the DMV. So if you see one, step on it. Don't take a picture. Pretty for a fly. Too bad it's a baddie. Puttering From Miley: The peeling of the 1st Luffa Looks kind of non-technological. We will be interested to hear about the other processing steps for your luffas. Decorating for the holidays? A couple of quick tips to remember:
Adventure Re-thinking gutters. Scroll down one to seen an underwater view. Ready to visit Japan?
Gardens of The Horde post-Helene okra devastation Hi KT, Things look better near the house than in the garden. Nice to see your layout, even if in terrible circumstances. Your zinnias are tough! Hi KT, Great photo and story. Thanks. Hope everyone has a nice weekend.
