    What did you do in the garden today?

    I’ve never grown Black Turtle beans but Trail of Tears beans are pole beans yes, the seeds are usually black and the pods start green and either turn purple or get purple streaks on them. They have strings in the pods too.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The first of my Trail of Tears beans is starting to get its purple coloring and I saw the first bloom on one of my melon plants! I really hope fall holds off for me to actually get something off it. 🙏

    I’m still sour that MIGardener is out of stock on most of the seeds I was looking at. My own fault; I should have kept better tabs on when their end of season sale was.

    +1 looks like Red Russian Kale. I’m growing some this year. Sounds like a good problem to have!

    Feeding Wild Birds

    I’ve had what I think is a juvenile bluebird come visit. The birds are a lot braver around my deck this year, I think its all the trellises I put up. More perches for them, and harder for the hawks and owls to get in.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I have potatoes in the same planter as my pole beans and I’m trying to figure out if I can extract the potatoes without damaging the bean plants or if I should just plant more peas/spinach over the top and hope to extract the potatoes in the fall. 🤔

    What did you do in the garden today?

    The larger of the melon plants is finally starting to vine out. Hope we have a warm fall because I don’t think I will get anything off them otherwise. Squash still hasn’t made any female blossoms either. :barnie Still seeing pollinators though! Had to hold the furball back from going after a...

    My indoor basil was starting to get out of hand so I trimmed it back today.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I got some more trellis over the weekend for my peas, tried a little of the Swiss Chard in a salad and harvested trimmings off my bunching onions. Had to bust out a twist tie to keep a cucumber plant going up the cattle panel like I want it to. Hot peppers are still struggling, but the single...

    Rained today. I also saw my first female cucumber blossom! Still no females on the squash. 😒

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Three of my four tarragon twigs were still green so I moved them to a pot. (Surprisingly the dead one was one of the two I’d dipped in root hormone.) No visible roots on them though. 🤨 Maybe tiny nodules, I couldn’t tell for sure. Oh well, either they make it or they don’t!

    What did you do in the garden today?

    Those look better than the sad little things I grew last year. I keep looking at the greenery on this year’s carrots and wondering if I’m going to be disappointed again; lots of greenery but I can’t see any carrot root peeking out of the soil.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    If one of them bloomed significantly before the other you might be able to save seeds from that individual fruit. Beyond that, it might not be too late to bag any new ones depending on your first frost date and how long it takes the pepper varieties you’re growing to mature.

    What did you do in the garden today?

    One of my mystery sweet pepper plants is blooming so I put a tulle bag over the blooms to keep it from cross-pollinating with the Cayenne. My first time bagging a plant so 🙏 it works. And the bags were intended for squash and such so I should probably get smaller ones for future use. 😅

    Preserving Your Harvest

    Dehydrated a bunch of sweet potatoes for use as dog treats today. I was going to try them as cat treats too, but the cat in question vetoed them.

    Feeding Wild Birds

    My turkey momma visited today. She appears to be down one baby sadly, but the remaining trio seem a little bigger. Mine must be between nests, they haven’t been going through the latest batch as fast as I thought they would. 🤔
