I discovered, with the help of my dog, wild radish growing by the lake. It's very edible!

my property is overloaded by wild radish, lol.

Finally finished trimming my garlic. All four varieties are in boxes now.

Pulled all of my bush beans. Pretty sure they have root knot nematodes.... Going to pull out all of the soil and let it dry. I hate to go fallow but I'll refresh it with compost and mushroom spawn after. Those don't look like nitrogen nodes.

Those below kinda do. I didn't cut any open to verify.

Oh and one of my garlic varieties has bulb mites. we'll have to get though the silverwhite variety quickly.

I never even knew that was possible with garlic! Always felt garlic chased away the bad things.

Yeah I'd never had it happen before either. I bought this variety as certified seed garlic so I'm pretty sure it came with the pests. I recall having some pretty smooshy cloves when I got it.

Well that sucks. Hope they don't contaminate your soil.

I've been getting aphids on some of the red Russian kale plants, so I've been removing those leaves and feeding them to the chickens. I've seen no aphids on the collards or cabbages, but I think I'm going to just remove all the kale plants since they seem to attract the pests.

Picked 3.5 pounds of green beans. Canning time again.

Branched coneflower in bloom and native columbine starts.

Today is looking like it will be a bad day to be a chipmunk

I am so fed up with them. They dug up an entire 15 gallon grow bag of radishes, killed my only kale I had planted, dug up a 15 gallon grow bag of spinach, and keep eating my tomatoes and not even finishing them. That was just yesterday.

Trap crop. Eliminate on the kale as they show up. Leave the kale or they will start on the others sooner

I have not seen a chipmunk since I seen the weasel running through the poultry yard with a mouse this summer
I would rather have chippy
