Got caught in the rain today, and waited out the shower under a rhododendron. Not a bad way to spend fifteen minutes. Entertained myself watching a crow across the street, looking picturesque in a blooming dogwood.
It's bulbs are used often in #MiddleEastern cuisine; especially in #Iran where they grow wild in mountain ranges. Its #plant extracts are #medicinal - used to treat fungal & bacterial infections, malaria treatments & anti-dandruff treatment.
It was a spectacularly beautiful day here today and we got all the Cucurbits planted out and covered with my white plastic totes (cloches). We've got:
Zucchini (Dunja)
Squash (Sunburst)
Butternut Squash (Butter Baby)
Cucumber (Marketmore)
Our planting out is almost done now with only 2 more plantings of corn and the Okra still to go in.😀 #gardening #allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #spring @gardening
I have just learned that "#Java Bean" has two completely different and incompatible definitions.
One is a dumb, badly designed data object with getters and setters.

Thankfully, towards the end, the rain let up and allowed for a beautiful evening. We drove to a nearby walk alongside the Northern Reaches of Lancaster Canal.
It has now been two weeks since we planted the first of our corn seeds into their pots. Today was the day that we set them out in to the garden. We will now start another planting of 32 pots for the next row to be set out 2 weeks from today. #gardening #allotment #NewEngland #zone6b #spring #BeetBear @gardening

I took it for my friend who wanted a photo to look at while he pees. It's titled:
