What happened to bio? Haven't seen him around for a while

Still hangin in there. Still gardening as usual. Sorry I dont make it in to share very often Mallard. How have you and all the other farmers Been doing these days? Spring is just arriving and buds are on some of the trees.

Heres some cauliflower I am growing. It is a great climate for cauliflower here in Oregon. These were started last fall and overwintered and are just now resuming growth. I Love cauliflower it is an amazing plant these will explode with growth soon. I just side dressed. To get a 10 or 12 pound cauliflower head they have to be started in the fall and overwintered like this. So these plants are 7 months old. This is a blend of different types of cauliflower so i will have cauliflower for perhaps a period of about 2 months. Most will be pure white but occasionaly a purple shows up. sometimes so dark its almost black.

Protecting my Fruit Trees

Protecting my Fruit Trees

Last year I planted about 15 fruit trees, apples pears & plums.

I was busy working on erosion stuff & more focussed on fine sands than on building bigger better fences.

So I watered the fruit trees every single day when it got hot, and the deer stripped every single leaf off, about once a week. All summer long.

I was really pleased that about 2/3 of the non-Jonathan's made it and started putting out shoots a few weeks ago. All the Jonathan's died.

I told myself that the roots were growing even if the tops were being stunted.

Anyway, now I'm putting my energy into making their grow space deer resistant and pig resistant. One of my neighbors leaves his fence gate open and his pigs run around the country road like moving speed bumps. Last time this happened they got into another neighbor's garden. I was going to wire 1 inch diameter tree branches on the bottom area.



I want the chickens to be able to get to the tree ... very symbiotic. They eat worms and poop more fertilizer.

I think if I give them as much TLC this year as I gave my outdoor Pot plants last year, they will do well.

I never got around to posting pics of my 2017 grow. There was a week of rain in August so I put some 6 mil film over the plants and gave them about 4 pounds of CO2 a day, moving in that wind tunnel at about 3 miles per hour.

They kind of seemed to like that.

That nearest plant with the bud pressing into the roof, is a Bay Dream x Apollo 11.

Been harvesting cauliflower for a few weeks now. Here is a dandy I cut yesterday. I planted several different varieties as to get a larger harvest window.

Have a fewnfruit trees myself. Mostly dwarf and semi dwarf rootstock peaches, necectarines and a few apples. Wish I had room for more.

Yeah I noticed if I gave other things I grow around here just have as much attention as a pot plant it does extremely well.

Has anyone planted Artichokes before? Hopefully Massachusetts won't be too far north for them. I started them indoors and transplanted them today along with 2 varieties potatoes, parsnips, carrots, pole beans and basil. Keeping it simple this year.

I was doing cleanup this weekend and must have missed the poison ivy. Its all over my face. Can't remember the last time I've had it this bad.

 

[Lester Beans]

Getting to be that time of year. Have my starts in the greenhouse. Cold nights, last night 36 so it's open during the day and heat at night.

Here's some squash, cukes, and tomatoes.

Artichokes do good in my area and especially like the cool coastal towns. Poison I vy doesnt affect me fortunately.

Lester Beans looks like he is going to have alot of vegetables this year. they look healthy.

I threw down some used super soil from last year made from mostly promix and there are NO weeds growing in that area, while the organic compost section, weeds are popping up like crazy! I'm going to assume its because the promix is lacking organic material?

my " silver loam " is performing well this year after a few trailer loads of sheep shit ..

This is a nitrogen fixing rhizobia thingy I dug up when I was killing the peas and planting the tomatoes where the peas were.

 

[Biosynthesis]

have heard of these but never bothered to notice. Thanks for the post. Cool picture!

 

[Capt.Ahab]

Im growing some vertical cukes. Some picklers and slicers.
There are probably 50-75 baby cukes on each.

And some tomatoes.
Cherries and some sort of Japanese tomato with funky leaves.

Tomatoes with leaves like that are called potato leaf.
They are less common but still not too rare, Brandywine is a popular potato leaf.

All my potato leaf tomatoes suffered terribly during the heart of summer with all the heavy heat and direct sunlight. The regular ones with the more numerous and less bulky leaflets would wilt when the sunlight was hammering them, but they never got sunburn and started dying from the top down like most of my potato leaf ones did.
Based on this observation I decided that potato leaf tomato plants are the indica/WLD plants of the tomato world and regular looking tomato plants are the sativas.
