LallyLuckFarm,

Glad to know you’re doing well, keep it up!

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m also leaning towards some kind of Iris or (less likely) day lily. Ginger tends to have a central stalk on new growth, whereas these look to be flatter leaves. The bilateral symmetry of the growth has me unsure, though. For comparison, here is some new growth on one of our irises (Iris sibirica):

Here is an image of young daylilies (Hemerocallis lilioasphodelus (not real lilies)) for comparison as well - there are a number of cultivar varieties, and some with variegated leaves, which is possibly the case with your plant

LallyLuckFarm,

As someone who appreciates your efforts in threads and is old enough to get this reference, I salute you

LallyLuckFarm,

Overcoming someone’s apathy towards voting is a huge success, don’t let yourself get down about how many you convinced.

LallyLuckFarm,

You love to see it. Where we are, there are quite a few family farms that will lend advice or equipment to each other, as well as to newer farmers who’ve got an older farmer to vouch for them. I don’t know that it’s been formalized like in the article, but networks like this are wonderful (they’ve helped us immensely and we try to pay it forward) and I’m glad to see a variety of models experimenting with growing their impact.

What's growing on, Beehaw? (Garden Chat)

Today marks the beginning of the second full week of Spring in the northern hemisphere, even if some of us are stuck in second winter. Share your garden goals, projects, challenges, and successes for this growing season; share your tips, tricks, and garden hacks, or anything else you’d like. Let’s all help each other grow...

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m getting ready to head over to my local library to help out with their new gardener workshop this morning. After that it’s a quick meeting with the library’s program coordinator and their Master Gardener Volunteer to work on plans for updating their garden layout for this year - they were accepted into a monarch conservation program recently and received funds to expand their sensory garden as well as their vegetable garden for the local food bank.

After that it’s back home to process all the willow cuttings waiting for me. I helped an older neighbor trim their willow wall yesterday and they let me take all that material for our nursery. Hopefully I can rope one of my plant nerd friends into helping me out, because there’s so much to get through.

LallyLuckFarm,

New gardens, upcycling, local sourcing… I love everything about this! We’re in an area where we don’t get things we’ve ordered until around then too, and it’s always frustrating because I dislike waiting to plant things

LallyLuckFarm,

They’ll also still be a solid way to support hummingbird sphinx moths and parasitoid wasps if they don’t fruit, but I’m still hoping you get some food out of it.

LallyLuckFarm,

This sounds awesome! Hydroponics is daunting to me, so I’m always impressed by folks who’ve got a handle on it and challenge themselves

LallyLuckFarm,

I am not an authority, but @Track_Shovel might have some advice for you about what kind of substrate/soil would work well for you.

LallyLuckFarm,

The cat’s probably ungrateful but I think that’s wonderful

LallyLuckFarm,

That’s awesome, great job! Wishing you the best success dealing with the Ailanthus

LallyLuckFarm,

prevent myself from ordering way too many seeds

Sorry, not sorry:

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m with you - I have a few perennials we’re attempting to grow from seed that need cold/warm/cold stratification to germinate and it’s hard not to be excited for when they finally start popping

LallyLuckFarm,

Hey congratulations! And yeah, USDA zones and similar categorization schemes are just part of the picture and deal more with overwinter lows and plant hardiness than anything else - you may find that one of the Köppen systems helps you to better envision your climate particulars.

Potatoes and onions are pretty easy in my experience, having done what your plan is. I’ve also found radishes and beets to be fairly low maintenance as well as being useful for breaking up compacted soils (and tasty to boot).

LallyLuckFarm,

Power’s been out since Saturday evening, and we’re one of three houses on our street that don’t have a whole-house hookup for our generator (my whole life is currently genny whine). Spent the last few days admiring and appreciating how our little neighborhood (19 houses) in the woods comes together for mutual aid so seamlessly. Our next door neighbor and I went out the night of the storm to clear debris from the road so folks could get out for any emergency supplies and so the crews could get in quicker, as well as to report any hazards on the lines. Everybody’s been checking on everybody to make sure needs are met.

I had reached out to some friends last week, looking for some pretty specific plants and offering some of our plants in trade, and were able to find a few of what we were looking for. One source surprised us, and hit me right in the feels. Apparently a friend of a friend does maintenance in Ganny’s Garden, part of the Kennebunkport conservation trust and Barbara Bush’s memorial garden, and she’s offered us plants from when they do their early season thinnings. The punk in me is excited to knick some plants from the Bush’s, but the quiet bookworm in me remembers a childhood trip to the Wells library with my grandmother where Barbara showed up unexpectedly, read to us, and handed out books left and right. It feels incredible to have the opportunity to literally plant that memory with my grandmother in the garden this year.

LallyLuckFarm,

Congratulations! I’m so happy for you 💕

Just vibe with how incredible it is to be you; it’s quality over quantity in my view. I deal with it by trying to be the best me I can be and celebrating the brief time I have.

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m wishing you the best regardless of what you end up deciding to do.

LallyLuckFarm,

Take your time and enjoy yourself, we’ll get that project sorted.

LallyLuckFarm,

Congrats, that’s awesome!

LallyLuckFarm,

Nah you’re good, I just became a lot less fun when the Gell-Mann stopped <3

LallyLuckFarm,

Some easy signs to look for are softness or sponginess of the dead branch, peeling bark, or mushrooms or mycelial growth in the area. Those, in my view, would constitute reason for immediate removal even during the growing season.
