Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, October 15A monarch resting in the asters on its way through eastern Nebraska this week. Midwest LurkerSeems a little late to me for a Monarch to be going through Nebraska, but I may not understand the schedule. Best wishes to our little traveler. Edible Gardening/Putting Things By From By-Tor: Remember when he tried a bit of raw ghost chili? An adventure! The ghost chilis I was sent are fermenting nicely with a kick start of some sauerkraut brine. They're hot. Very hot. About a million Scoville units. By comparison, a jalapeno is about 8K SU. Just a couple drops of the pickling brine will keep your mouth on fire for about ten minutes. This is gonna make good hot sauce."Good". 22 lbs of Roma tomatoes is now about 12 quarts of marinara sauce, good for pasta, pizza or soup. Now I just have to pressure can it. I consider it a successful day when I correctly install two GFI circuits and replace a bad hot water line without getting shocked or flooding the house. Now off to the gym! Not really gardening since I didn't plant or nurture it, but it's an interesting something that has shown up this week at my new house in southwest Louisiana. I'm strictly a lurker for the last couple of years but did post as daggit at one point. t may be a little difficult to see, but I have two agaves sporting quite the "plant boners ". The one on the left is 5 feet and still growing.

The mystery plant is Lycoris radiata, also known as "hurricane lily" because it typically blooms at the peak of hurricane season.

I have a pot full of Carolina Reapers that I have been drying and crushing into pepper flakes. It's too much for me to use all at once but luckily I have a co-worker who enjoys spicy food.
As for the ghost peppers? I treat those with respect. The first time I bought a bottle of hot sauce made with it, it lasted a year. Posted by: NR Pax at October 15, 2022 01:28 PM (Z7Jj3) 3
Good afternoon Greenthumbs
Home made dried hot peppers are great. Mostly disappointed in garden this year, squash did best, have a little plant of chili peppers got a fair amount from but tomatoes barely enough to eat. Posted by: Skip at October 15, 2022 01:37 PM (xhxe8) 4

And since it's fall, I am trying to figure out how to proceed on getting a garden ready for next year. There's sort of a lawn. I have saved all my cardboard boxes from the move and am considering just putting those down for the winter to kill off the sod. The problem will be making sure they don' t get blown off in a storm this winter.
And the new rose will be here next week! I have to dig a hole for that and the one that will be shipped the following week. Posted by: Notsothoreau at October 15, 2022 01:43 PM (uz3Px) 6
That plant (well the flower) is called a Johnny Jump Up. After the flower dies, it make grass similar to monkey grass for the winter, and then go back to hibernating as a bulb.

We're starting to get some nice fall color. There are always a few trees that are spectacular every year and they didn't let us down. When the noon day sun shines through the leaves the rich colors are wonderful. No kaleidoscope can compare.

We have hard freeze forecast Monday night, so we're getting anything worth getting out of the garden today.
Rolled up hoses, picked tomatoes (hoping at least a couple make it to Thanksgiving) gonna pick all the peppers, and probably bring in the zucchini my wife has been saving for seed. Okra, I believe, can freeze without affecting seeds. Bees are acting weird... buzzing around with only a few okra flowers to feed on. Posted by: MkY at October 15, 2022 01:54 PM (cPGH3) 13
Another sign of October: our big redbud is changing. I swear it goes from full midsummer green to yellow in about two days. You can almost see the leaves change minute by minute. We're at the point where one good storm with heavy, wind-driven rain will blow off most of the leaves. That will leave just the branches and a lot of dark brown seed pods. The whole process happens so quickly.
People have different ways to note the changes of seasons. Our redbud is one of ours. Posted by: JTB at October 15, 2022 01:55 PM (7EjX1) 14
The mystery red flowers are hurricane lilies. So named because they bloom here on the northern Gulf Coast at about the same time we typically get nailed by some named storm or other.

Good afternoon, gardeners!
Midwest Lurker, that is a beautiful photo. Come to think of it, I saw very few butterflies of any sort this summer. The hottest I can go is habañeros, which were in my lunch: chicken chili (with beans). I am nursing a cold, which is at the waterfall-inside-my head stage. Chili and soup usually help. So far, no. Between the head-cold and the wind, plans for leave-burning were canceled. I made a pile of windfall branches in the "pit" aka old stump burn-out. Maybe later this week. On a happy note, the garbagemen picked up the broken fencing that I put in the abandoned neighbor's bin. It will take about three more trips to clean out the fallen fence.

I finally had the other half of my dead hedges removed. Spent Thursday and Friday cleaning up the bed to lay down the red lava rock and put two more concrete planters in there to balance the other side of the front of my house where the same set up was done.

Was up on roof shaping off some of the garden growing there, moss. Started some years ago in a corner under a sycamore but now is spreading rapidly. So took a spackle knife and loosen a lot of it. Once the leaves go it gets lots of sun.

Saturday greetings, gardeners, putterers, and adventurers.
Still desperate for some precipitation here in NE Okla. The lawn is so dead! Got some sprinkles this week - measured in hundredths of an inch. High temp today will be over 80˚F. Low Monday night predicted to be freezing, the next night 26˚. Time to drain and roll up the hoses and pack away the watering timer for the winter. Finally did get some nice 'maters, but not a lot. Some basil. Some lessons, as always, on what to do and not, next year. Posted by: mindful webworker - YouTube cancelled my YT channel at October 15, 2022 03:04 PM (dPyc1) 31
As for how that Lycoris radiata (we call them spider lilies) got there, squirrels are probably your culprit. A neighbor of ours across the street and several houses down planted a pink variety, and somehow one of them ended up in our flowerbed. We have an entire colony of the little gray terrors that love burying their prizes around our yoshino cherry. Occasionally, they forget about their stashes so we end up with a few mystery plants.

From Boise area: Highs in the 70's, lows 45-55.
We were gone for part of this week - a last trailer trip before the weather shuts us down. We spent one day of the trip visiting 2 wineries - we met S.Lynn at one of them, and had a splendid time sipping wine and sharing stories. Zucchini continue to produce!; the overlarge ones still need to be chopped for the compost. Only 1 cantaloupe still on the vine. We might be able to get a few late eating tomatoes. We'll be traveling next weekend, so likely I won't post (sorry, rabid Famous Pat* fans!), so we'll need to watch the forecast to decide what to do about the poblanos, whether to harvest and refrigerate, put on a row cover, or let them be. They're looking much much better than at season's start, when I thought we'd get no crop. Husband and I enthusiastically recommend Backwoods Home magazine and its sister publication Self Reliance (each is quarterly). Current issue had much info on potatoes (#3 and 4 potato producers are Ukraine and Russia; plant accordingly!), and on beneficial flowers to attract pollinators and other beneficial insects to your garden.

I tried to put a trellis up for my tomatoes, and it was not a total success.
First, I was too hesitant to trim back the lower branches to encourage the growth of branches up where the twine was holding up the tomatoes, and the branches swept to the ground where the tomatoes ripened Second, I used thin PVC pipe that bent under the weight of all the tomatoes Third, I used sissal yard that aged and broke in the sun and watering. So I guess I get to be more aggressive in pruning up the vines, and I will used binder twine and either get metal wiring conduit or save back the suckers I cut off the trees. I do like the trellising concept, even half-arsed the way I did it was as easy to pick as my usual tomato cages Posted by: Kindltot at October 15, 2022 03:10 PM (xhaym) Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at October 15, 2022 03:11 PM (ecW19) 35

My one oddity this year is that I got Taro to grow in a grow box. I get told that I can't grow it here, but that is not really true, we can't winter it here. It grows fine in 80-90 F Summers.
I think, in spite of my wife not wanting one, I will work to get a stock tub or something similar and grow a larger batch next year. I may try growing wapato (a local arrow root) next year as well. Both of them like growing in standing water and soggy ground. Posted by: Kindltot at October 15, 2022 03:20 PM (xhaym) 37
Japan had a really bad year for persimmon. Prices in the store are up about 60% i think.

We pulled up the remaining tomato plants earlier in the week. It had frosted a couple of mornings and there was one pretty good freeze... got down to about 28 degrees for a couple hours so the plants were toast.
The plot looks so sad right now. On the bright side our herbs are sheltered near the house and we've got a good batch of Sage and Rosemary to dry. Posted by: Martini Farmer at October 15, 2022 03:30 PM (BFigT) 40

We've now reached 199 jars canned.
Coming up on the end of tomatoes, segueing into green tomatoes. Since we may get an early frost mid-week, I'm going to take whatever is left in the big garden, cut the stalks, and hang them for ripening. It bothers me how many tomatoes went bad while I was collecting enough to can or cook with. Next year, I'm going to have a container in the freezer for the good parts of tomatoes that I've had to cut up. Posted by: Miley, okravangelist at October 15, 2022 03:36 PM (Mzdiz) 44
I ride in the mountains, and the chestnuts were weird this year too. There are a few along the roads and they drop the chestnuts in Sept. Usually over about 2 weeks. This year they started dropping early just like the persimmon. By the time they were ready there were none left.

There's supposed to be some sort of lore about nut trees; walnuts, chestnuts and the like about their size, numbers and how early or late they fall that determines a cold/bad winter or not.

I have recently received tulip bulbs in the mail. I forgot I was to receive them for a donation. I live in zone 7 and I am wondering what is the best way to over-winter the little cuties. I have read keeping them in a air following bag in a cool, dark place is best. However, it's not consistently cool here yet, and I don't think putting them in the refrigerator would be ideal. Would love some tulip advice from horde. Thanks

Hey KT,
Sure, there are lot of great Japanese food. The fruits and vegetables are all stellar. Society here is so different and one big aspect is how agriculture is all done with native Japanese with high emphasis on quality. Very few foreign foods can compete even though they are cheaper. When I last lived in US, the vegetables really were tasteless in comparison. I don't know, maybe they have improved but I doubt it - isn't that why a lot of people grow their own? Here people garden to save money. I garden mostly for varieties that are not common in Japan (like apricot) or which are too expensive for me to enjoy (like cherry, which I still can't grow.)

zone 7 is only a little warmer than where i am, and i have kept them in the dark garage on the cement floor in a cardboard box, and they were fine.

KT -
I saw your post earlier on HSR. I lived in CA and traveled to Japan for business since the 80s, so I have thought a lot about this. Hard to summarize. but: Japan built this system within the constraints of reality - their cities were dense, difficult to connect due to mountains, well served by mass transit, and airports were gonna be way outside of town. They accepted these constraints and built a system where the engineering was adapted to the task. US seems to be doing the opposite - they refuse to accept the reality of what exists. Instead of building a system to fit the task, they are building a fantasy system for a world that does not exist. It is infuriating. How did the US get so out of control on so many issues. Anyway, sun coming up and i go biking. See you all around. Posted by: Gentlemen, this is junta manifest at October 15, 2022 04:13 PM (ecW19) 60

Kindletot,
When I had the raised beds in Minneapolis I had 2x2 frames, same size as the bed, held seven feet above them on 2x2 posts. I had to really get elaborate on bracing them. But they'd hold 20 tomato vines easily. I also had one that was 1" PVC. It worked, but needed cross bracing every four feet. You have to be ruthless on trimming the suckers. I allowed 3 or 4 per plant and cut off all the others. And still they'd be sneaky and you would find one growing on the ground, with lots of fruit! There is a green plastic tape, made by Vigoro, that works well. Tie at the base of the plant, tie around the upper support, and then wrap the vine around the tape. We just had a mini deluge. About .4 inches quickly. I'm in my booth at Mesa Marketplace and it was so loud we had to shout to hear each other. Posted by: Gordon Scott at October 15, 2022 04:58 PM (PlCVJ) 63

Saw By-Tor's achievements and had to share.
So last week I realized that the dishwasher had a slow leak from a plastic valve (no idea how LONG it was leaking). Got new dishwasher, took about an hour to pull out the old dishwasher (for reasons that pre-date my occupancy of the house....). "Some" mold/mildew that got sprayed with a CRAPTON of bleach/water mixture. Less than 15 minutes to put the new one in. GOOD NEWS! The new dishwasher is installed and NO leaks. And trust me, I have been looking....EVERY DAY (sometimes more than that....). -SLV Posted by: Shy Lurking Voter at October 15, 2022 05:21 PM (SEa82) 65

One more week of mild weather (says accuweather) and then...rain and cold for the duration.
The begonias are outstanding this year. Too bad I have no room for them indoors. Wonder how big they'd get if I had a sunroom to overwinter them? They're 2ft tall and just as wide now, with loads of blooms Posted by: JQ at October 15, 2022 06:48 PM (dpnJh) 67
Re fuyu (in case Kindlot checks back)
They all flowered and fruit set and grew. What happens around here is that the fruit starts to ripen way early - like august and september instead of now. In a normal year a few fall off rotten in fall, but most stay on until the first frost and then they are hard and ready. Different problem, I think. My experience is not flowering or setting fruit is what trees do when they have a bad year and are saving energy. They usually rebound the next year and it may be caused by needing fertilizer, bugs, bad weather,... The market near me had them a few days ago for 78 yen. I didn't buy because they were a couple weeks from ripe and I always buy a case from the store (in addition to my trees which are usually a bit later) and figured I would have that before they were ready. Today I went to the store to buy a case and the box was tiny (12 instead of 16,) and the price was 30% higher. So i checked back at the first store and the price had doubled - i assume the earlier price was just a leftover from last year they didn't update in the computer. So persimmon prices have doubled.
