What type of plum is that? I&#39;m still learning plum varieties - I just realized all the plums on my &#34;plum cocktail&#34; tree are variations on an Italian prune theme. 2025-07-29T00:58:20Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsra20aqyxdlf67x9vl6wanhvhr0pp7qn95rrpasfeuskfzuq29quqzypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvgdvzt2 My poor lawn guy...<br/><br/>Me: Hey, can we turn this section off the lawn into a bed so we can stop mowing down these native plants?<br/>Him: &#34;okay, so let&#39;s tear up all this to get rid of the grass...&#34;<br/>Me: nah, just ignore the grass, I don&#39;t want to disturb the thimbleberries. They&#39;ll crowd out the grass soon enough. <br/>Him: (blink) &#34;You can eat these?&#34;<br/>Me: Yeah! 😄<br/><br/>He understood, and then I convinced him that my sorrel isn&#39;t actually a weed. And then I explained what you do with lovage and artichokes. So it was actually a fun conversation, even if my gardening habits are a bit baffling. 2025-07-11T00:30:07Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0ze9e39jv8jv7jyyahulgmc5lkgsjnxr0s2nnlmle2f2pu7v84vgzypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexva2707u Dear hive mind?

That seems so last year!&#34;<br/>Me: &#34;The local numbers are going back up. I know three people who are infected with Covid as we speak.&#34;<br/>What I wanted to say: &#34;well over a thousand people died from it in the last 4 weeks, this hasn&#39;t gone away by any stretch&#34; 2025-05-12T03:51:40Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsv3yeg2jmvn4rq3yrgplpzvl8x207gsp32m59lslwfjdfecamugkszypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvfc3fnj It&#39;s not even 1:15pm on Saturday and I&#39;m pretty sure I&#39;ve already overdone it in the garden. But I got a lot of stuff in, so... Maybe I can actually rest, with that off my mind? <br/><br/>I got in a boatload of seeds for various greens, particularly perennial or self-seeding greens. I put in my ozette and huckleberry potatoes (the later is supposed to be low glycemic index? I just got 3, I&#39;m curious what those will be like). I also put in my two artichoke plants, because despite not being as big as I&#39;d like, they seem to be languishing a bit in their nursery pots.<br/><br/>I put a couple of things in that are definitely a month too early, as I wasn&#39;t really thinking about it. Hopefully that doesn&#39;t doom them. The irony is that it was the two seeds I&#39;ve been looking for years to find, and they can be a bit challenging to locate. Ugh. <br/><br/>Worst case, what&#39;s another year of waiting to find out if there&#39;s a variety of zucchini that doesn&#39;t taste like wallpaper paste to me.<br/>#gardening #PerennialVeg #PerennialFood #zone8b 2025-04-12T20:19:05Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9h55tghxn36lr0u96vd9r0gplhcuvk8du5tf2365sjymmexj3v6szypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvqf2j8x Another night, another bunny spotting in the garden. He&#39;d gotten under the fence I&#39;d hastily put back up around the veggie bed. I tightened it up a bit, but I suspect I need to do something more permanent/accessible. <br/><br/>I have no idea what he&#39;s eating aside from maybe a couple of nasturtium leaves, because everything is looking lush and gorgeous. I guess those 4&#34; of compost are paying off! #gardening 2025-04-11T05:03:43Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0um5d5rs96g20u4vf7ltdcry277rrttqevy2g5wfzkh6u2dwwfwczypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvq7vjat Yay past me! I&#39;m starting to see some potatoes sprouting leaves that look very much like my beloved purple potatoes from my old house. I had a weird feeling that I&#39;d forgotten to bring some with me, and they&#39;re no longer available for purchase where I got them. They&#39;re a strange variety that will actually prolifically fruit and set seed some years. Plus they have gorgeous purple flowers! <br/>#gardening 2025-04-01T21:51:48Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0lc93pyun4xc47j8vyn28ftuszervxs63s2rlknevxc8y0vwk65qzypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvhnljm4 My phone keeps sending me &#34;memories&#34; of photos I took in the yard in previous years. It&#39;s making me realize how desperately I need more spring-blooming plants in the yard. But I&#39;ll probably have to wait till next fall to get serious about that, at least for bulbs and hellebores. The rest will at least have to wait a few weeks anyway. #gardening 2025-03-20T18:33:06Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs8sc0mvfxclgllwa7nm428hrxmetndcpcd6cgdchmg6l0mydm2mzqzypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvjrr3vs I realized today that I actually put in two separate orders for seeds at this one seed growing place that had ozette potatoes. Which is to say I ordered two sets of ozettes (that have not yet been delivered), two sets of black runner beans (okay, I&#39;m really not sad about that TBH), and a couple other things. <br/><br/>And I think I ordered 3 different kinds of tomatoes. Why did I do that?? I don&#39;t like tomatoes! Okay, I kinda like about two different kinds of tomatoes, and these may or may not qualify. Plus I still have seeds from last year from the tomatoes I liked.<br/><br/>Dear gawd, why?? <br/><br/>Oh and I went to a plant nursery today and they had...yup, ozette potatoes. So I picked up a couple more. <br/><br/>I&#39;ve been looking for these damned potatoes for ten years, y&#39;all. I WILL grow them this year, come hell or high water. Please don&#39;t actually bring hell or high water though, k?<br/>#gardening 2025-03-15T23:31:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqszupnv6pzdak30fclep55ha8vxqlfs647x7m5zc6j5hdh3v6aq82czypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexvcjmwu8 I tried to get in the garden early yesterday to start getting the last of my unplanted plants from the native plant sale out into the yard. I planted several salal shrublets that had not yet filled out their 4&#34;x4&#34; container, and after inspecting the drain holes of the remaining 15 pots of various things, decided to wait a few weeks till I put out the rest. <br/><br/>So instead I went to the garden center and bought some more plants, because I&#39;m a glutton for punishment or something. But on the plus side, I now have artichoke plants I can put out soon, plus a few other veggie seedlings and seeds. <br/>#gardening 2025-03-09T17:26:13Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs9h8jwanwu8xgkqr0wvlp5sl7040xd9svf2pn6tm4zl8wqfjd39pszypdwe0qaw4xr3rsna63au0duaxkgnzxq72t45kh0l7qmwueqdeexveqf3ax In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqhzhz0hc456kppcdjtxl7gjl4psh7p0mfgdggkyvfzf40vt6q9pg3s2n60'>nevent1q…2n60</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>my chicken coop was under a big leafed maple, and the flowers fell into their run.

I&#39;m really over getting weird messages from the void. <br/><br/>I just got a text message asking if I&#39;m okay from a number that&#39;s not in my phone, and the only person I can think of who&#39;s lived in that area code is my first ex-husband. <br/><br/>I&#39;m torn between just round-filing the message and blocking the number completely. 2024-07-04T03:43:12Z
