Picked a few tomatoes this morning before something else got them. (files.catbox.moe)

T. Pachanoi or San Pedro is a type of cactus that produces mescaline. I've been collecting them for a while, but I noticed something cool with this one. It underwent a mutation called cresting. It's normally supposed to have between 5 and seven ribs, but this guy has at least 16 at the top that are fanning out.

No culprit yet. Tomatoes still aren't safe! (Gardening)

This is interesting cause I have put the tomatoes in the same spot for 6 or 7 years and never had a problem.
Anyway, put out mose and rat traps last night, but caught nothing by morning.
I'll keep the traps out, but I'm gonna keep looking for a creature to kill.
Updates to come 😁

Cabbage has been doing well. Slowly getting the rest of everything planted.. (files.catbox.moe)

Pretty sure we nearly killed a few of them though.. we got them right before our trip to CO, and the soil it was shipped in was too dense for long term. She watered them before we left, but some varieties of lavender are pretty sensitive to wet feet.

Glad we waited to plant anything. Beautiful shot, but frustrating for the gardener (files.catbox.moe)

One of my 3 plumerias finally bloomed after 4 years. Still waiting on the 5 year old one to bloom for me. I also grew Carolina reapers, Trinidad scorpions and bhut jolokias to make hot sauce. Just harvested about 5lbs of grapes from my 1 plant to make wine. The cucumbers didn't do well but that's probably because I planted them behind the acorn squash that did great. My honeydew melons aren't huge but I'm curious how I know when they're ready to pick. The carrots are so sweet as well as the pineapple ground cheeries. The pasta sauce I made from the tomatoes last week was amazing. Last night we had roast quail from my flock and my hens are finally laying eggs. Mind you, I live on a quarter acre in a major city.

Kale, lettuce, cilantro, basil.
Just a fun hobby, but one that gives a small amount of goodies.

Some of that pooling on the left is from where we flushed the lines prior to capping them off.

Plants will be in holes in fabric spaced precisely at emitters on the drip tape, so there shouldn't be an issues with the plants themselves getting watered.

Big step up from last year. I'll update with more pictures as we get planted!

For those of you who follow me, which, um, is no-one, you'll know I ditched the traditional veggie patch for growing stuff in pots and it's paying dividends.

The advantages of a pot or tub garden for me are:

.easier to keep tree roots at bay.
.snails/slugs need to climb which might make the plants less vulnerable? Doubt it.Snails etc are great climbers.
.more efficient watering.
.easier to change the garden about if need be i.e. just move a pot.

These lettuces are so fresh, pure and perfect.

It's nice to see the Zinnias in the garden opening up. May Flowers! 🌻🌷💐 original content (files.catbox.moe)

8k plus seed starts, 200lbs of seed potatoes, four weekends of scheduled in situ planting.

I got the first batch of brassicas moved to beds, they should be fine since the last frost is four weeks away and they do fine freezing in the greenhouse.

Weent heavy on the medicinal herbs and European wildflowers again this year.

The irrigation ditch starts running water next weeks so everything should green up quickly despite no rain for months.

The bass and bluegill have started to get active in the pond, so the crawfish should be along soon to start harvesting.

Inheriting woodland (Gardening)

Hello frens.

I will be moving into my grampa's property in about a year. It is an old house that sits on about 14 acres that is 90% old growth trees. In central Ohio Amish country.

There is a small patch that they used for a garden at least 40 years ago, probably untouched since then. The immediate bordering areas are commercially farmed.

I'm wondering what advice you could lend on what to do with the land. I want to finally start an in ground garden. My questions are:

I should probably just use the previous garden patch. Will the soil be depleted of anything? What should I add? Will the neighboring farms chemicals have seeped into my side?

There was recently a bad windstorm and knocked down a lot of trees. Should I attempt to call a logging company to sell the wood or will they just go in, take what they want, and leave?

Finally, what could you recommend for turning woodland into vegetable garden land? Would the soil be super rich or way off to grow vegetables? Any other things I can plant in the woods? I know morel and big fat round mushrooms grow out there.

Thanks for any resources or thoughts.
