Jalapenos, cherry tomatoes, cilantro, basil and butterhead lettuce.
I am so happy.

Just spread some clover seed over the dirt patches in the yard. I tried it last year and it failed but this time I used a different seed supplier, thrice as much seed and spread a bit of seed starter mix on top so fingers crossed it works this time.

Unusually neat for the missus.

From the description:

Tim sits down at the Harvest Cabin with Brenda to learn:
What are heirloom seeds?
What is the difference between heirloom/organic/hybrid?
How do you harvest seeds?
How do you store them?

As well as some fun seeds she has collected and their fascinating histories.

Here is a pdf file about the study: https://files.catbox.moe/d8u4qy.pdf I have nothing to do with gardening but I would like to hear your thoughts on this. This comes from the alternative theories about our history. Actually, this is the link to the video where I found it: https://files.catbox.moe/cfrucb.mp4 The experiment part starts at 4:00. Before that there is some talk about global warming and the sun. The channel is called Static in the attic if anybody would like to check it out.

This is my precious potted peony. Not sure if they are supposed to be potted but I can't plant it in ground so... whatever.

This is the third year. First two years I had no flowers. I was hoping for one last year but nada.

Typical plant appearance. https://img.gvid.tv/i/3xWor1So.jpg

A firecracker of a thin skinned pepper that clocks in around 20,000 to 40,000 Scoville Heat Units (SHU). For comparison, Jalapeño's are between 2,500 and 8,000 SHU. More cold-hardy than most peppers, the fuzzy stemmed and leaved plant grows to 4 feet, and can live up to 20 years.

Pods grow upright to 2 inches, and go from green to black to red. If you leave the red ones in place, they'll begin to wrinkle as you see in my photo. There's one near the bottom that's still showing some green and black.

This is about half the peppers on one of the plants from seeds that had a slight miscegenation episode, so some of them have plumped out a bit.

Have chopped a bunch of those wrinkles and have them in the skillet with chopped beef, broccoli, and Lion's Mane mushrooms.

🌶 If you got pepper seeds from the Great Seed Exchange on old voat, I had them labeled as 'Asian' back then. So update your plant tags.

You are dead motherfuckers!

Big ass Thulja Plicata, also known as Western Red Cedar. Just planted the first one along my property border. Going to plant a few more and establish some privacy along the yard since we live in town.

I really like evergreens. Any advice, knowledge, or wisdom for making sure it stays healthy?

Might plant a few upright yew along the side of the house that sees a fair amount of shade.

It keeps the weeds out and reduces the need for watering.

I put down a 30'x30' tarp over the winter to kill the grass. Then I put 4 inches of compost down and 4 inches of cedar mulch over that. I got the mulch from a tree service for free, they sometimes have trouble finding places to dump their tree trimmings so if you call one you can get it. I got the garden out a bit late but it is growing well right now. I'll let you know how it goes.

BACK TO EDEN is a documentary about American gardener and arborist Paul Gautschi. Back to Eden is a no-dig gardening method that practices organic growing principles. The sustainable permaculture technique is simply to apply wood chips on the surface of soil to conserve water and regenerate the soil.
