RE: I'm Not Going To Scarborough Fair
My chocolate mint and imported Italian basil are doing great. The tie-dye tomatoes are none too happy though. I've been stressing my garden out this year...trying to get them used to the drought conditions we have here on the island.
Wouldn't give up my patch of clay and dirt for the world either...and the city hasn't bothered me for using their boulevard...yet. };-)>
I grow chocolate mint as well as a variety of basils! I feel you about the tomato situ. They haven't been as good as other years for me but regardless I am still happy as it is better than having to go to the market :)
Cheers to growing goodies everywhere!
I'm just hoping I'll get a few tomatoes so I can harvest some seeds for next year. I picked them up locally after researching them. They're out of Oregon and quite famous for their flavour...been winning contests for the past couple years.
I have another tomato plant, that volunteered to grow on the city's boulevard that is doing very well...also another in a partial shady area that'll likely provide an October yield.
My peach tree seedlings already need transplanting to larger pots but I don't expect to enjoy their fruit for 4-5 years. I really should check my worm bins but they're so low maintenance I hardly think of them except to toss in the remains from the juicer every week or so.
Do you have red wigglers? If you don't you really should look into them. So many benefits. ;)
I do have red wigglers in my compost bins! Great little guys! That's how I got this clay ok enough to grow anything haha Peaches don't do well here. :(
Why am I not surprised. ;)
Yeah it's pretty hit 'n miss here too. Just doesn't get cold enough long enough here during the dormant season.
It's just that these were soooOOOooo good I just had to try!
Sounds like it! I had to cut down my peach, apricot and my beloved quince not too long ago. They were sickly and what little they produced was very bad and bugs were beating me to it all.
Ohhh noooOOOooo...not the quince!
A short story on that.
Free fruit trees. Standing cured. Bring chainsaw.
Almost as short and sad as Ernest Hemingway's shortest story.
For sale. Baby shoes. Never worn. :(
I'm a Hemingway freak lol I thought of that when I read your quince line 🌱

You're just a regular olde Renaissance woman aren'tcha!
