The Beauty Of The Changing Seasons

[Lady Cannafan]

Thanks Heir, all of the fruit start out like that on that plant. They eventually lose the pointy end and turn out shaped like an elongated fat bell.

I wonder if that's how the "black" tomatoes start out? I have two of those plants, just don't know which is which in there right now.

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Edit: they aren't the black variety. I think you are right on with the paste variety. Looks very much like "Ropreco Paste" tomatoes.

Well there ya go.

'We' just began canning. The Toms are coming on strong now. A big ole' batch of marinara is bubbling away right now and will be finished tonight. The heirloom slicer tomatoes are sooooo sweet and juicy. The early girl and rutgers are putting out nice globes and my one yellow pear is going absolutely bonkers. It's a full 2' above the 7' wire wall and just loaded.

I would LOVE to do some canning, but I have no equipment left here to do it. Maybe next year.

That thunder/rain storm I was waiting on didn't drop enough rain to quench a hummingbird. BUT, it left an afternoon of heavy winds that are dropping tree limbs everywhere. It worked to my advantage, this Great Blue Heron didn't notice me sneaking through the cattails with everything whipping back and forth. He's a tough bird to get a clear shot of, someday I'll get it right:

And it's rare for me to get a shot of these green dragonflies, but this guy thought he was well camouflaged and stayed still for a minute:

Have to say, it's been great taking a day for fun stuff for a change.

And my green dragon has a favorite area, so I have high hopes of a nice clear face shot soon:

He's a lucky guy. She's got nice eyes. And her antenna have segments in all the right places!

He's got a jealous streak in him too, jumped at me while I was taking a pic of her.

Still keeping up with nature I see!

Love the pics my friend,

Good to see you Lester! Hopefully you are "relaxing" from time to time. Thanks again for popping in with thoughts on that new growers' problems a couple months back.

I do try to keep up out here, but there is so much going on at once it seems....nature is a busy busy girl.

Everyone here is contributing awesome stuff, I love it!

Onions I used and then put in dirt. Can I cut and use these then regrow again?

It will not grow another Onion unfortunately, you can grow a flower and then seeds if it was a prticularly fine Onion, a 2 year minimum project, or, eat the greens in a stir fry, very tasty

 

[Lilred]

So they only recycle once...well at least I get twice the amount of onions for buying it once

How long before I should pull them? I am so surprised how much grew from them. I honestly didn't expect anything but then all of a sudden new shoots started growing off of what I had cut. My boo laughed at me and told me they would never regrow.....ha ha ha I get the last laugh

......on the runway this evening. Our season accessory for Lily's features a butterfly with lovely splashes of matching Lily colors blended up into a bold dark contrast, and lightly dusted with glistening pollen for that wow factor:

What do you suppose it said to that bee? "Get off my land...er Lily!?"

The Dragon Fly's wing detail is so fascinating

Cut the green stem with scissors, leave the younger stuff and it will keep sending out new edible shoots until it starts to flower

 

[Lady Cannafan]

Cut them up and use them as toppings on salads and things too, lilred. Delicious burst of flavor and appealing garnish.

I have always believed that Helicopters were first designed from looking at the wing "mechanisms" on Dragonflies. They just don't want to admit it. ;-)

And the alien ships in the Original HG Well's War of the Worlds movie were designed from watching Geese and ducks with their necks up and heads pointed, coming in for a water landing.....

Whatchathink?

I love them but only buy them from the store...this time I took the end root part and planted it...that's what came out....I am going to cut these now and put on my salad I just made.

I think you are spot on Obvious now you point it out, would never have seen it otherwise

I need help brainstorming. My kids dog pin is the perfect location for my plants cuz it is so private and big. I have secretly been envious of the dogs.....well the kids decided to move them out the pin and stake them on the four corners of the cut yard...property is 4 acres but most is wooded, house 4400 Sq feet...so the dog pin is free.

Only thing about the dog pin is the ac/heater unit thing is in there. So if I have issues with the unit I need to be able to move the plants...so I can't plant them.

I was thinking that my boo could build me a couple of carts on wheels to move the plants. How do I keep it from roting? Is that even preventable? Is this a good idea?
What size pots do I need to make it the whole season...not this one but next year...I will be starting my photoperiod plants in may
