Some fall garden pics. Cabbages, radicchio, daikon radishes,
Beets, escarole, and Napa cabbages. Always be sowing. Bare ground is neglected soil.

The quality of the tomatoes are diminishing, but slow roasting them makes up for that.

My soil is sand/rock. In one year not too much of a difference. But I really noticed my soil structure improving each year after that. It now is starting to hold together. My inputs are also declining every year. Warning, if the soil is super low infertility it can be even hard to get a cover crop going. I think especially with sand bio char aids this whole process, if you have the material to create it.

I am lucky where I live. We have so many wild type of berries that proliferate. This is evergreen huckleberry they are ripening now but the great thing about this berry is they stay on the vine until at least December and they get better after a frost. I love to make a sauce with these that goes great on salmon. I’ve made ice cream with them. I’ve flavored mead also. This is one of the many reasons why I don’t mess with many of the permaculture shrub recommendations. Most of them are simply just massively inferior to the wild berry species that grow readily under nearly every pine around here.

Sometimes, but usually not, i just figure with so many cooking resources out there, it’s not worth the effort. Also, cooking from the garden is kinda hard to translate into recipes. In comparison to standard recipes I can use so much more of an ingredient because it’s there in such quantity.

Raspberry pick for the day 1pound 6 ounces. I get about that every other day. It is a 30 foot bed. I’m on week three of picking, my guess from what is on there probably have two more good weeks. After that a significant decline in the pickings. What I wonder is this good amount to expect? Anyways, I am expending the row to 60 feet for next year. Started working on it today. Fall might be early. If we get another good rain mushroom season is going to be excellent. I will do some scouting next week. I bet the lobsters will be starting.

I think they lessen over time and change as the soil improves. For me spring weeds are more tenacious than summer weeds. It’s like everything they go overboard with their expert claims trying either to sell a product or their services. You know the shill,“ no more pests ever.” “No more weeds.” “The biggest, the best and the most nutrient dense crop ever.”
How about, “get mineral profile balanced, try to improve biological practices and you will be surprised at how successful your garden can be.”

Grass or perennial cover crop mix would be great. Mow it every so often shooting the cover crop onto the growing beds effectively fertilizing them. I am going to experiment with that method in another area. No matter what anybody says weeds will always be an issue. There also is no way around hard work. It’s kinda like the sowell quote no solutions only trade offs.

2024-08-14 00:36:57

I like them, but the main reason I use them is it leveled out the garden and it really helped out with areas that water gathered in the winter. I no longer have puddle issues. Some spots the chips are a foot deep. It seems to be improving the soil in the paths. Accidentally dropped seed if left alone are growing some decent quality plants.

I saved the earliest of the crosses for the first year, each year I add bought seed to the mix. Now I am selecting early and tasty. I probably will add seed one more year. Then select from there with only my seed. I’m not concerned with stability I just want ripe sweet melons that are above 2 pounds. 4 to 6 pounds better, but for my climate that might be asking too much.
