That's awesome! How many seed potatoes did you start with?
Ah, well. One dares to dream
What's the difference between a loyalist and a heretic?
Only commissars can shoot loyalists
Are you fucking kidding me? You're gonna look me in the eye and tell me the sail flying above the poop deck is called a spanker?
The reference mouse is oversized
No one gives Tina Tumble credit for starting the whole upside-down-then-not movement
They're colorful and they have a flavor!
Some of y'all out here thinking you looked cool in JNCOs, suckin' on a pacifier attached to your Tamagotchi
He's cute, sure, but that litter fucker is gonna do some excavating. I can see it in his eyes. His giant, adorable, puddle-of-love eyes
Bummer.
I'm gonna go with either spider mites or fungus/bacteria. Probably the latter like one of the leaf spots or possibly downy mildew, though it seems a bit deep into summer for downy. That last picture has some pinpoints of color on the leaf that look like they could be spider mite damage, but I'd still put the safe money on a leaf spot. This far along, you'd be able to easily find them if they're there.
Get what you can from it all, maybe hit it with some neem once a week to see if that'll slow down the decline, but I think that's just gonna be cucurbit hospice.
Y'all motherfuckers wanted a strong, traditional candy, now we're gonna get a Tianamandm Square
Corn is finally peeking out, but something has been digging it up and chomping seedlings, too. I shotgunned it, so I can afford the losses. More stuff in a comment to follow
Daikon goes boom. Pak choi is on the way up with it. Gotta solve my soil issues before I put these down. Speaking of soil issues, I probably gotta start over on my squash bed. Nothing looks too happy in there and instead of watching it die a slow death, I'm just gonna direct sow everything after I get some amendments in with it.
In the mean time, I'm just watching these guys revive some hope for a summer harvest
I got sick a week and a half ago, so things got a little messy. We're back on schedule, tho. Kale has been the hero this season. Couple broccoli doing what I ask. Slugs got all my first round peppers, so on my back foot there.
Herbs need to be moved out into the sun and a new round of starts there. Tomatoes in the ground, started a bunch of tubers (daikon, french breakfast radish, and beets). All of my pak choi is ded, which makes me worry for the ten million carrots I have coming up. Started like, 30 pak choi to make up for it (get em young, cut em in half and roast em with salt and pepper, finish with Lao Gan Ma. One of my favorite veggies).
Garlic and onions coming along, taters growing, put down some corn and spinach yesterday. Been having hard luck with the spinach. Had an unidentified rodent living in that bed picking off my seedlings as they sprouted. Took the cover off and let the ferals deal with it, so here we are again on a fourth round of direct sow and I STILL AIN'T GOT NO SPINACH.
Oh, I put some watermelon down, too. Makes an awesome cover along my walkway and the ferals love to hide in it. Also, watermelons, I guess.
Squash arch is archin, but I worry about my soil out there. Same mix I used for the hugel and the new beds and I'm having problems. Shouldn't have rushed to get them done, but hey, that's my problem now.
Doing a crop walk for one of my clients this morning. Air was real still, goats were only a little bit desperate for grain. Good start to the day
A bit ago I posted this image and a sharp-eye named Even_Adder (not sure exactly how attributes work on Voyager yet) saw that something was written to it. I dug around a little, but couldn't come up with the answer, so I figured what the hell and sent them an email. The Institute has responded.
Light the beacons! Or whatever we're supposed to do. Wait? I think it's wait. I'll post an update when we get an update.
Garlic has taken off like whoa. Pak choi is starting to like the weather. Broccoli and kale joining in. Still skeptical of the lettuce tower.
Still got a ways to go til everything is in the ground, but all the ground is ready now. LFG
