What did you do in the garden today?

only thing is the "fruit" that is bears is possibly to heavy then would bust the vines

I have been seeing in videos where nylons are used to make a sling for the fruit.
I think its worth a try. Anything to keep it off the weed riddled ground.

I am back from the greenhouse.
Couldn't resist a few brussel sprouts, some full sized cantaloupe, everbearing strawberries, walla walla onion sets, and seeds for giant watermelon and merigolds.

I am moving my pollinators garden to make room for watermelons along the ground. I have been diligent about weed removal including the nasty grass for several years so might be ok there.

I have a section 8' x 14' to the west of the chicken run I took flowers out of. I plan to put the sugar babies there and could put carrots in pots too. It is a short run from the drip line and I can tap into that.

Lots of plans to get a harvest this season.

I planted sweet alyssum for weed control in some areas. Ground cover and pollinator. Bout a thousand seeds in a bag. You could try that

I just planted on Mother’s Day. Cherry and grape tomato plants, green pepper plants. Seeds: radish, carrot, watermelon, cantaloupe, yellow squash, zucchini. Everything is up! I weeded and thinned today.

Picked my first flush of wine cap mushrooms from garden today. They have been sauteed in olive oil, and will be IQF for the freezer.

Don’t know if I’ve ever heard of wine cap mushrooms. But I love mushrooms. Was looking into growing oyster mushrooms. How are the wine Mushrooms?

Mostly maintenance this weekend. Harvested beets, zucchini, yellow squash, Persian cucumbers, kale, and chard. Planted another row of corn,as well as grape and Early Girl tomatoes. Also planted white sweet potato and harvested papaya. Dang I'm tired.

There's a photo of them in the Hugelkulture thread. They are quite firm, a bit more robust in flavor than the button mushrooms you buy at the grocer, and produce a darkish broth when cooked. I like the flavor of them, but have not had very many. The stems are too fibrous to eat, so you only eat the caps.

Sounds delicious! I’ll have to look into those
