What did you do in the garden today?

Any idea how much it costs to make nut butter? ingredients only ...not including machine and time.

When I make peanut butter, I use a one pound jar of peanuts, and that's the only ingredient. Usually around $3. A pound of peanuts = a pint jar of peanut butter.

I've found a pound of any nut makes about a pint jar, so the cost is whatever the nuts cost.

I found something to put my yellow cayenne pepper seeds in so I don’t accidentally knock them over while cleaning up my plant area. I have around 60-75 seeds which is more than enough.

Heavy rain, flash flooding hits Sydney as SES receives 850 calls for help​

3 hours ago​

Light rail passengers were stranded by flash flooding in Sydney's east. (SES Randwick)

I'm an hour or so south of Sydney and ended up with 64mm yest and 43mm o'nite. I wish it would head to where it was needed most; the city streets hardly need it.

I don't think we need anymore rain, but would take it if we could to help you out.
The weeds here this year are growing as you turn your back on them - thanks to all this years rain.
Filled a bin with weeds at the rental yesterday.
Might manage to fill another bin with weeds here at home today, if my back holds out.

Cucumbers are about done. Zuccihinni is still blooming. Cool weather slowed things a bit. Heat coming. Made more nut butter. Feet are bothering me. I wore my sketcher slip ins a few days while I washed my new balance shoes. My feet like the new balance better. I have had plantar facetious before. Tripped and fell outside. Ugh old age. I think I am done for the day.

Crocs saved me from recurring PF. those plus exercising the foot arch on soft spongey tennis-type dog balls. Never bend the foot backward.

I put all the beans for future growing into their own non-solo cup containers.

If anyone wants some I can send you a few of each

Bean seeds look so pretty you could make jewlery out of them.

Anyone have an idea why this potato plant looks like this? It has been like this since it first popped up 2ish months ago and it seems healthy given its growth and hasn’t affected any of the other plants in the same pot so I don’t think it is a disease related thing. View attachment 4214497

Potassium deficiency maybe?

Potatoes need a ton of potassium when they develope tubers.
