Random photos.
The heirloom french marigolds had some atypical plants. A single yellow - the rest were doubles. And a taller, looser double red. That one had more marigold fragrance, looks like a reversion to earlier type. I am saving seeds from both. I like the difference.
Only 4 seeds from Ning's beans. Not much to start a self-saved strain but better than zero seeds.\
Squashes ripening and curing now. The first of many.
Illinois Everbearing Mulberry is a pale green. Not due to insufficient nitrogen. It's been that way every year, and in 2 locations. Other trees nearby are fully green.

The first Chinese Haws here. Great to have a start.
This is the Year of the Squashes. Lots to eat during the winter.

Almost everything we grow need a window of opportunity for it to flourish. I think your Chinese is such a case. Also location is another factor. My friend David gave me some Chinese Amaranth seedlings just couple of week ago. I guess because I was on vacation, they died. His was going to seed while it was just 2 inches. My anastasi bean was rather low yield but I have enough to play with next yr. Looking forward to your beans grow better next yr. There's nothing better to have different kinds of beans. I like the Chinese Haw also so attractive looks like little apples. I think I would try it if I can find it; where you get it? Talking about apples, when I came back from vacation, all but 1 apple survived the coon attack. They must know I wasn't home.
ReplyDeleteLance, the Chinese Haw came from Raintree Nursery. I think One Green World also has them. And most likely other nurseries.
