Well, powers still out, they say it could take as long as Tuesday to come back on since they now have to inspect the lines. So, no power, no well pump, no pump, no water... So I have to haul 5gal buckets home to water my vegetables/weed...
These BC God bud were 80$ for a 10 pack and only 3 of 10 Germinated, 2 female 1 male. I got it from a Canadian company that ran cards through China so my card got shut down for fraud, once all straightened away I won't be ordering from them again with that ordeal. SO making more seed...

Multi-tasking with the stripping basket.
My fall raspberries are coming on strong now. They'll produce right up until frost now.

I don't know what variety they are.
I got 8 plants from my sister in law in Tumwater.
They start getting ripe around end of August.
8 plants morphed into shitload of plants.

I have always used my stripping basket for berries. Getting a mess of berries after chasing salmon down at Golden Gardens Was always a plus, I don’t use it for line anymore but it is good for figs and prunes and even tomatoes.

Mid Sept. about 100 cloves of garlic planted elephant and Duganski.. some tomatoes not harvested about only 50 to go . Everything was top pruned at the end of last month. Seeds saved and drying for storage.winter crops are in and doing well. Siberian kale will go inin a couple weeks after tomato plants make room available

Since we have been canning now for about 2 weeks... What makes sense, of ya add another 384 sq ft to the garden before winter. I guess bigger is always better right?



Wife canning, me digging, placing posts and pouring concrete.






(PS.. I would rather be fishing one of my favorite lakes! Soon very soon)

(PSS.. Feeling very blessed!!)

 

[Mossback]

Looks really good !!!

I built out a bunch of garden spaces over the 5 years, but then had to take a year off and review my maintenance plan before further additions.

Tonight’s harvest. First pepper harvest of the year. Gonna be busy making hot sauce over the next few days. Also found some strange mushrooms growing in one of my pepper pots. I think I might put them on my pizza tonight

They look kinda psylli.

I just want to make it clear, I did not plant these, they just came up naturally. Courtesy of my local compost company and/or some of the local ants who I believe might disperse such spores through their travels. And yes, yes they do…

Do they have a blue ring on the stem?

Do they have a blue ring on the stem?

I used to make spore prints. Recalling a day out in a farmers field picking around cow patties. This was the mid 70’s the only potential legal infraction then was trespass even if the fields were not signed accordingly. The big hills breathed like lounging animals. From that I learned not to ingest as I picked. It was hard to keep track of how many.

Do they have a blue ring on the stem?

Yes indeed. P. Stuntzii

It's been a couple decades but I thought those looked familiar

Here in Western Washington (Renton) this fall harvest has been abysmal. Little to no fruit on the trees. Deer are going hungry this fall.

Anybody else experiencing this?
