All this rain has the plum crop exploding, not in a good way
About 2/3 of the crop has split.
In this week's gardening blog post, I share how I harvested, cooked, and then ate a dahlia tuber (yes, they are edible). And yes, it was a culinary adventure.

Mock Orange for #wildflowerwednesday
We don't have too many wildflowers here, being in a city and all, but I was out in the wild when I spotted it - so I am counting it. πβ¨

Is anyone interested in a citrus thread similar to my big pepper thread?
It would take longer to put together but would have points in companion planting, listing varieties comparing economy of space to yield, scientific research and agricultural practices, using the whole fruit, etc.
I grow and use a lot of citrus and have come across a lot of stuff in my research that is not well known.

A group of foxes in my garden, trying to work out if the big monkey with the camera is dangerous....
After I took this, I went straight back inside so that they knew I was nothing to worry about, and they could get back to relaxing and chasing each other around the garden
They did do

It's seed shopping season. Remember to support the small seed purveyors who are out there working diligently to protect our access to non-gmo, heirloom, open-pollinated, grower-grown seed stock. Some of my favorites

Iβve been reading about the Open Source Seed Initiative and impressed at how quickly itβs taken off as an individual volunteer-led movement.
In less than 15 years, theyβve got hundreds of varieties of plants registered and sold by seed companies, while keeping the rights to the genetic material in public domain for future crop breeders.
This commitment to openness is important for the future of humanity and biodiversity in a rapidly changing climate.

@tinheadned I would personally prefer my #garden to look overgrown than have a plastic one. It's so bad for the environment on many levels.
