the #soilspondence will continue until morale improves

I spent solid 15 minutes today taking pics of bee butts. No kink, tho no shame, just they move quick and it was delightful watching them go into deep flowers and almost like they are falling over a rail into them. They were singing so loud in the lavender I wanted to grab a decibel reading. A joyful noise. Be bee friendly and try and have some flower fodder for them as much of the year as possible. Apian Allies! #bees rock!

The overwintered cauliflower has just been infinite and awesome in a densely staggered spot a bit protected from the worst of this occasional summer. Best season ever for that.

I'm no photographer but I hope a close up of red gem lettuce adds a splash to your feed.

And enjoyed some of our many pollinator, medicinal and amenity beds and rows.

Stay vertical team and GARDEN HARD!

ABSOLUTELY in this economy we need all the vibrance and colour we can muster.

Tobacco flower is quite pretty.

The greenhouse fig trees are going bonkers.

You can do delicious things in tiny spaces. Even wee shallow trays. We like micro basil for cutting. Awesome to snip for salads, pestos, breads, anything. Doing trays of micro in greenhouse works best for us as out in the field our absolutely violent weather temp shifts are not condusive to larger plants surviving or not boltng or tapping out.

We let some garlic here and there scape all the way out. It's pretty and a banger flavourful 'flower' in salads.

Because every day is pretty much the worst day ever in this timeline and on the feed, we're back with some #soilspondence in case you need a nice shot of green things and blue skies.

Buckwheat is a lovely field crop. We have it in some field rows amongst sunflowers. Once summer finally kicked in, the sunflowers are catching up.

We lost most of our grapes to late frosts, cherries got really messed up early on by various violent weather shifts, but it's looking to at least be a bumper year for pears and apples about the orchards.

And try as I may, I can never get that elusive Homer Simpson Tomacco in the greenhouses to happen. Tobacco, tick, tomato, tick, tomacco, doh.

Stay vertical out there team. Garden hard!
