All hostas are fully #edible - from root to shoots to stems to foliage to flowers. Roots/shoots/leaves taste like combo of asparagus & endives - cook them up, in similar ways. Flowers can be sugared & they taste like raw honey.
The eggplant has now joined the peppers out in the garden row. In the greenhouse, the cukes, zukes, and squash have started to show. Next to them, the first planting of sweetcorn has now shown vigorous sprouting. Won't be long now! 😀 #gardening #allotment #zone6b #NewEngland @gardening
Amaranth, holy basil, rosemary, witch hazel, yaupon, chamomile, echinacea, runner beans, hazelnut, sunflower, and carefully contained mints.
This is my final end of days plant list for the Southern US. #Gardening#Herbalism#ClimateDiary
A full length photo of our garden in the backyard that myself and the neighbor are growing and taking care of.
We have: Brussel sprouts, cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, hot peppers, bell peppers, onions, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, green beans, tomatoes, potatoes, watermelon and cantaloupe.
Don’t know why I bother buying or collecting seed from previous years. I should just put my home compost in pots and water it: I’d get a nice crop of tomatoes and squashes with a lot less effort… this is from potting on 2 weeks ago
Interessante Beobachtung: Vor ca. drei Wochen wurde ein Teil unserer Wiese gemäht. Das überzählige Mähgut kam auf ein Beet mit einigen Resten Wintergemüse. Später sollen da Buschbohnen hin.
Offensichtlich zogen alle Nacktschnecken aus der Gemüseabteilung zu diesem Buffett. Aber die Amseln waren schneller: Tagelang gruben sie das Grünzeug immer wieder um.
Jetzt dürfte die Gegend frei von Nackschnecken sein. 😄
Here's the next trial to find out what's defoliating the V. bonariensis plants in just this one spot of the bed. I put down the largest rhubarb leaf I could find in the spot in question and set a cell-pack of 4 plants on top of it. I figure that if it's slugs, the rhubarb leaf would at least show trails. There might also be a chance that whatever it is might find shelter under the leaf and be found in the morning. I'll also check tonight before I retire. #gardening #NewEngland @gardening
