Sefton: sefton at cutjibnewsletter.com | Saturday Gardening Thread: St. Patrick's Day Already? [KT]Our Heritage Of course, the Irish Potato Famine changed US history. There was another migration that changed history here in the San Joaquin Valley, the "Okie" migration. We received this recently:Attached is a photo of some cotton pickers in Oklahoma in 1935. Includes some from my family. Might fit in a gardening thread sometime. Javems The beautiful photo today of Flame Vine reminded me of the arbor I installed back in Texas to create some privacy between our backyard pool and the house next door. I planted Crossvine at the base of the arbor and weaved it through the lattice as it grew. Every spring we got to enjoy a wall of red flowers. The rest of the summer we still had a pretty green wall to give us privacy. at g mail dot com Include your nic unless you want to be a lurker.

Woot woot woot! My Fawn Lily survived the winter and is popping up again!
I also dug a Camas lily and planted it, now I know where to find them I am planning on digging a bucket of them to transplant. They all are going into the front planter, along side the wild native ginger (which isn't a ginger, but an Asarum caudatum) and the volunteer garlic. No word on if the apple grafts have taken or not.

Your cabbage looks really good. I don't think I've ever seen just one head of cabbage. I'm used to rows of cabbage.
I'm glad you were able to post the owl video. It's been raining at night so the dad owl has been dropping off dinner for the babies. I'm fascinated watching them. The mother owl makes cooing noises like a hen. The owlets chirp just like chicks. Posted by: CaliGirl at March 17, 2018 01:24 PM (Ri/rl) 12
"Get that cat out of here"
that line from a Steve Martin movie still makes me laugh ... he's doing his special screw top brain transplant surgery ... and of course there is a cat in the operating room. (only heard, not seen) My semi-wild barn cat never seems to bother the plants, but rabbits, raccoons, deer .. another story. Grass is greening up a little here, fruit tree buds just starting to swell. Hydrangea, daffodils, tulips all popped up. cool to have owl video, this place is getting pretty classy. stay green ... the thumb at least. Posted by: illiniwek at March 17, 2018 01:26 PM (bT8Z4) 13

My grandmother was from Oklahoma. She had to quit school when she was twelve and pick cotton. Her family lost their farm.
My friends and I use the term Okie interchangeably with white trash. Teasingly, with each other. I said okie in front of my grandmother one time and she yelled at me. It hurt her feelings. When we say that there is no malice intended. Posted by: CaliGirl at March 17, 2018 01:30 PM (Ri/rl) 15

> Fourteen pounds is a lot of potatoes for one person to eat in a day.
Yeah, that's bullshit. Someone probably messed up converting from kilograms or something similar. Think of the size of a ten pound bag of potatoes. Now, try to eat all of those and nearly half of another one. Definite bullshit. Posted by: Anagram Nation at March 17, 2018 01:40 PM (aId/R) 22
Love all the pictures and the owl video is amazing. Luna's husband should get the cred for bringing home the bacon though.
Crossvine is my favorite vine. I planted a bunch at our last house. It will do a small flush of blooms in fall too. I should plant some at our current house. This house has a great backbone of landscaping, but then the lady of the house planted some vines and specimen trees that really aren't suited to the climate and/or soil here.

Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat food from it all the days of your life. It will produce thorns and thistles for you, and you will eat the plants of the field. By the sweat of your brow you will eat your food until you return to the ground, since from it you were taken; for dust you are and to dust you will return.

I saw the dad bringing mice last night though. Posted by: CaliGirl at March 17, 2018 02:11 PM (Ri/rl) 27

That top photo looks delicious. I am a cabbage fan both for boiled dinners and home made sauerkraut.
Possibly a silly question but can you grow just one or two cabbages instead of a row of them? Maybe using a big tub? I've mentioned we will have a smaller garden this year, mostly Earth Boxes and other containers but a couple of cabbages would be a nice addition. Posted by: JTB at March 17, 2018 02:37 PM (V+03K) 40
Love the photos and the video of the owl. When Jane D'Oh posted about the owl cam in Georgia a couple of years ago I could lose track of time watching it. A slow but fascinating drama. Last year it had eagles nesting. Neat but not owls. I might just be an avian snob!

Kinda bummed. Spring begins in a week or so and the night temperatures have continued below freezing. The ground and dirt in the containers is still hard except places right against stone walls that soak up and reflect heat during the day. The weather guessers are talking about a wintry mix this week. Hope that is the last of the winter weather. I don't want an unseasonably hot spring but a gradual, steady warming would be nice.

Gardening question for the Horde.
I've always been told that marigolds repel moles. Is this actually true, or an old gardener tale? It'll be too likely to frost here until late April or early May. I have moles now. I'd prefer not to assassinate them but that's still an option. Thanks Posted by: Winston at March 17, 2018 02:52 PM (wgCUV) 45
Hardy, har har. I was talking the individual number of fries. But you knew that.
Posted by: prof disarray, gumdrop gorila channel at March 17, 2018 02:51 PM (jS2zB) Estimates for individual fries range from about ten per 0.75oz to 20 per 3oz. Obviously, different brands use different die sizes, and some don't use metal dies at all: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iuSfWgfgy5c So, we can assume that individual fries per ounce ranges from about 7 to about 13. With sixteen ounces per pound, that's 112 to 208 fries per pound, depending on die size and the overall size of the pertader, longitudinally gifted spuds being inclined to longer fries. Multiply again by 14 and that's an easy 1,568 to 2,912 little fries per diem. It's just simple arithmetic. Posted by: hogmartin at March 17, 2018 03:08 PM (y87Qq) 46

So, today was put out more bark day at the stately Blake manor.
During the process I remember I had a bad sprinkler that needed to be capped because: A. It's broken, and B. Not needed. 27 bags of bark took about an hour and half. The stupid sprinkler took the rest of the morning. And I still have another one to tackle. Yay me. Yard's coming together though. I can't wait for the flowers to take hold and start spreading out.

First Ruby Throated Hummingbird of the season arrived here moments ago. Report yours here: http://www.hummingbirds.net/map.html Posted by: Spun and Murky at March 17, 2018 06:07 PM (4DCSq) 56
Happy My Name-Saint's Day, from Idaho's Treasure Valley! We're having some rainy days, which is good, because we went short of winter snow down here in the valley. (Hopefully the mountains got enough snow to provide us with irrigation water for the year.)
Our tomato seeds all sprouted under the grow-light; 3 pots with 1 each of heirloom Nyagous, 3 pots with 2 each of 2015 seed Big Boy. Will need to decide when to cut off the second one in each Big Boy starter pot. (Husband started 6 poblano pepper seeds, but no sprouts yet.) Outdoors, we have sprouts from the bunchgrass Calamagrostis 'Overdam', the purple Siberian Iris, and all the tulips (about 3 inches tall on average). All of the backyard daffodils are up, and some have buds showing. The hyacinths behind the house went from fat buds to full bloom this week! - the front sidewalk ones are way behind. Husband got an electric de-thatcher, which looks like a lawnmower except for the small vertical claws under it instead of large horizontal blades. We did a portion of the backyard, then used the tractor's sweeper-cart to pick up all the mess of dead grass. (I'm not sure if we plan to wait and see if the grass in the completed area looks better than other areas, or if we will proceed to de-thatch more areas before all the grass starts greening up.) Husband sprayed weed killer on the corn patch area - I think it's warm enough now that the grass is metabolically active and the poison will take hold. He still has more area to dig, but he has plenty of time before corn-panting season. We've spotted the first Red-Winged Blackbirds this week - probably male, since my Peterson guide says females are the usual brown nondescript color many female birds are. I haven't seen them all winter, so I assume they migrate. FIRST PLANTINGS! - We put in a half-row of Asian pea pods, a row of shelling peas, a row of spinach, and a row of year-old onion starts (we're hoping at least a few will sprout and become green onions). Each row is 8 feet, since our beds are 8 feet long (and 4 ft. wide, 1 ft. tall). A few more things will be planted by the end of the month. Next tasks, I think, involve me turning over the soil in the other 4 "annual" beds, weeding paths (see below), and removing some of the grass mulch from the baby blueberry bushes. (I'm not sure I want to remove it all yet.) Oh, and it looks like I have not *completely* killed all the strawberries, since I do see some green leaves, but figuring out how much live stuff there is, will just have to wait till it gets warmer and I start removing the obviously dead leaves. There's a weed that's flowering now, that I wanted to photo and send in, to see if anyone could ID it, but I found out its flowers close when it's cloudy, and it's been cloudy this week. As soon as I get the chance, I'll send a photo along. Meanwhile - it's a small plant with yellow flowers, its divided leaves are a sage-green, and its seeds are spiky burrs. (THAT is why I hate it - it's a hazard for me to go outside in summer in my sandals, when there are burrs all over the paddock. I'm trying to eliminate it NOW from the areas I most commonly walk on.)

Pat*, I believe you're referring to Puncture Vine, aka Goat Head, aka Tribulus terrestris Truly a menacing plant! Fortunnately, it responds (DIES!!!) well to 2-4-d. We had a big patch of it by the driveway, and I grabbed the shopvac to suck up as many burrs as possible but many remained... I then laid out cardboard, and walked on it to get the b*st*rds stuck on it, then discarded. Then, watered to get them to sprout-- poison them-- water and sprout, poison again... I finally won. I keep an eye out, pull any I see before they get big enough to make more burrs! Did you know, their primary leaves are quite rectangular? Easy to spot when the roots are barely an inch long. *sigh* I wish morning glory (bindweed) was as easy to eradicate. Happy St. Pat's! Posted by: JQ at March 17, 2018 07:58 PM (yD/Pf) 59

Thanks for the report. Fun to hear about the natives, and the possible grafts. I read somewhere that wild native ginger (Asarum) was an alternate host for the Pipevine Swallowtail. Don't know if you are in this butterfly's range or if the report about the wild ginger was erroneous or a fluke. Would be fun, though. Posted by: KT at March 17, 2018 09:46 PM (BVQ+1) 60
JTB, you can indeed grow one or two cabbages in a tub, but they are big plants. There are some garden cultivars bred to grow small, though.
Sometimes if you cut off the main cabbage and split the top of the stump in quarters (leaving the outer leaves) you will get 4 more little cabbages. Posted by: KT at March 17, 2018 09:49 PM (BVQ+1) 61

Does the plant or flower look like it could be related to peas or clover? Posted by: KT at March 17, 2018 09:50 PM (BVQ+1) 62
The weed is definitely not Goat's-Head; we have that elsewhere (along the back edge of the property, next to the irrigation canal) and most certainly know what it looks like (alas!). The leaves on that are full green, not sage green, and it doesn't flower this early. (Note to those who have problems with it: it can go from just-sprouted to flower to seed, in just 3 weeks! - it reproduces faster than tribbles...)
The weed is also not related to peas or clover; having been wildflower docents in a place where many lupines and pea-relatives grew, we can recognize those flower types for sure. We'll just have to wait till I can catch one that's got an open flower. Posted by: Pat* at March 18, 2018 12:16 AM (2pX/F) 63
The weed is definitely not Goat's-Head Oh, derp... I should've know-- it's not nearly warm enough for those to be sprouting yet. (And speedy, yes, I've seen them flowered with only ONE set of 'true' leaves!) Back to your mystery weed: Are the nasty burrs from last year's flowers? Do the flowers resemble a cross between strawflower and dandelion? Possibly the noxious Yellow Star Thistle? Posted by: JQ at March 18, 2018 07:26 PM (yD/Pf) 64
Are the nasty burrs from last year's flowers?
Aarrgh, what I mean is, have they flowered and set burrs already this season? Posted by: JQ at March 18, 2018 07:33 PM (yD/Pf) Processing 0.01, elapsed 0.0187 seconds. |
