Saturday Gardening Thread, October 19 [KT]

acadi.JPG

Hello, Gardeners, Putterers and those who just like to observe their handiwork! It's getting fall-ish where I am. How about where you are? Today, we've got a few landscapes as we move into fall. There are still a few critters out there, too. Expecting some more fall foliage photos to come in from The Horde. Love the landscape above from Larro. It's from Bar Harbor, Acadia National Park.

Landscapes

This is a photo of a professional landscape, taken by The Invisible Hand during the summer. A Japanese garden. Lovely. We're all pulling for you, by the way.

This photo is from the backyard of Admirale's Mate. Looks relaxing. The daylilies fit the setting.

Plant/Insect Identification Challenge

Two vines/scramblers and an insect today. Remember Hank Curmudgeon's excellent Moron's Guide To Identifying Insects last week for the butterfly.

From Le Vieux Garde. Down by the lake, near a fig tree. Photos were taken a while ago. Maybe we can get him to describe the seed heads that developed from the flowers now.

Monarch Butterflies are going south

Monarchs, 2019

Numbers are rebounding some. Good news. Have you seen any this year?

Other Critters

Weasel sent in this great photo of a Tractor Spider! Notice the color coordination. I asked if the web was nice and orderly. He said,

Yes, but it seemed a lot thicker right under the spider.

Recognize that spider?

I'm not sure I can recommend a mouse village for the average gardener. But certain mice are kind of cute.

Simon Dell, a wildlife photographer from Sheffield, United Kingdom, was taking pictures of birds in his garden, when he spotted a cute little house mouse standing on the grassy ground. He knew he couldn't miss the opportunity, so he came up with the brightest idea. With the intent of protecting the mouse from neighboring cats, and providing wonderful backdrops for his new subjects, Simon fashioned a house for the small mouse, that he named George. He built him a nice and functional house made from piles of logs, old fruits, and vegetables. It didn't take long for George to notice the lovely house Simon made, and he was more than happy to move there with his fellow mice That Simon named Mildred and Mini. Take a look at Simon's wonderful photographs of George and his little family, while having the time of their lives in their cozy, new home.

Halloween approaches

Today, a couple more photos of that remarkable corpse flower sent in by Moron Robbie,

Not only smells like a corpse, kind of starts to look like it could accompany a corpse.

Moron Robbie didn't mention seeing this guy at the botanical garden:

Got any other garden-related costume ideas?

The Edible Garden

We have been discussing paste tomatoes in the comments. I wish they would think of another name for "paste tomatoes". Anyway, 40 miles north sent in this:

Those San Marzano tomato vines in the picture below have produced a lot of great tomatos. However, those two vines as well as another one were stripped of nearly every leaf by two tomato worms. However, the two caterpillars responsible for all the damage will never become hawk moths. I feel better now.

Got a tomato recipe to share?

Looking for a vacation idea? You can sign on for tours to go foraging in Sweden. Especially for mushrooms and berries.

The Right of Public Access . . . is a unique principle, dating back to the Middle Ages and protected by law, which allows everyone to roam pretty much anywhere in the countryside (except for private residences, cultivated land or within 70 meters of a house). Whether you fancy kayaking or swimming in a lake, fishing on the coast, camping in a beautiful meadow or foraging in the forest, being at one with nature is positively encouraged. The only caveats? Don't disturb and don't destroy.

"According to the government, only four percent of all berries in Sweden are picked each year," says Marcus Eldh, founder of WildSweden, who often incorporates foraging into his wildlife adventure tours. One of the most abundant - and packed with antioxidants - is the Nordic blueberry (or bilberry), which can be found on low-to-the-ground shrubs that grow everywhere from the roadside to deep in the forest. Another staple of the Swedish diet - and also known for their health benefits - are arctic cloudberries (similar to raspberries but smaller and orange) and lingonberries (often served up alongside meatballs), both of which are ripe for picking during the summer.

Gardens of The Horde

40 Miles North also sent in this lovely photo of a Phoenicia Azalea:

3 Went back to dutifully call and see it was done.
Made a fantastic stomboli last night using my hot & sweet peppers, tomato, basil and oregano from the garden, actually sent photos to CBD so we might see them someday if worthy enough.

And working on getting the first leaves into the compost bin so maybe send in something for show and tell here in a couple of days.

6 What lovely landscapes, flowers, yards etc. I am making an effort to trim dead branches and take out at least the smaller dead trees in the yard. I'd like to get the large dead elms down but I probably need to hire a pro or else just continue as we have been and hope that they don't take out vehicles or hit the roof when the wind eventually knocks them down.

I don't think so. I only responded so fast because I've saw one before and remember looking it up before" I thought it was called an Orange Gerden Spider, but I according to wikipedia its more commonly called a Yellow Garden Spider, which makes more sense as oranges don't grow anywhere around here.

8 As always I like the photos in the thread and this week is no exception. But those mice are adorable and I never pass by adorable after the news of the week. Of course, they aren't in my garden or loose in the house, so I can be charmed.

14 The photo in the post reminds me I have to make a note to get San Marzano tomato seeds for the next garden. We used them a few years ago when we grew roma style and they were fabulous. A number never made it to the kitchen or even out of the yard.

21 Does anyone know, or have an opinion about whether blueberries grown in the north are more flavorful?

My grandmother grew up as a Quebec farm girl and she told me they used a lot of blueberries. She continued that while raising a big family in central Mass. I remember how good they were when we visited.

This is from an ancient memory so it might just be nostalgia and there is no one left from her generation or our parent's.

There are several strains of San Marzano tomatoes. Make sure you get one that suits your needs.

24 JTB at October 19, 2019 01:58 PM
The rabbiteye blueberries that grow in more southerly states are a different species than the ones that grow further north. There has been some breeding work on the rabbiteyes in the last few decades, and I think the hybrids are probably better than most of the wild ones.

Posted by: KT at October 19, 2019 02:05 PM (BVQ+1)

25 so many swallowtails, idk that one, kinda like Baird's Swallowtail, maybe not quite. Monarchs seem to have gone from here a couple weeks ago ... fall color just starting in the hard maples.

Love the well kept back yard water features ... mice can be cute, but I spent part of the morning trying to seal up their pathways into my base cabinets in the kitchen. They say a hole the width of a pencil can let them get in. Cats and black snakes like them ... field mice feed a lot of animals, so they are useful in the food chain I guess.

cheers to the growers ...

===============

Agreed. Ever seen what they can do to a vehicle's wiring harness? How about when they climb up into a vehicle's inner a/c cabin filter, defecate, breed, and then die there?

Cute, but destructive and nasty little creatures.

27 Of course, JTB, in most of the West, special provisions must be made to grow any blueberries at all.

We have had recent wiring damage in our truck from a rat or squirrel. Or other rodent. Persistent critter.

29 23 and 24 ... KT, Thanks for the information. I'll have to see if we kept any notes about the specific tomato seeds we used. Also, my memory is that the local blueberries my grandmother used weren't large but very flavorful. I though there might be a difference between what she had available and what I get now in the south.

Bizarre as it sounds, I actually feed the black snakes under our concrete pad near the driveway chicken eggs. Their presence is benign to us personally but they are deadly to mice and field rat nests.

I have had to repair and clean up so much damage to our vehicles from these critters than I am glad to contract it out for a few chicken eggs a month, hahaha.

31 Funny thing about field mice here is you see 1 and seen them all, they all are mousey brown on top white bellies. In the house it's no prisoners but outside occasionally let one live.

Posted by: Skip at October 19, 2019 02:15 PM (ZCEU2)

32 Pretty sure that's an autumn clematis. It can get way out of hand, but it's beautiful.

35 We finally got the very last of the cherry tomatoes a few days ago. I'm kinda glad it's over since the plants look completely used up and I felt guilty they were still trying to produce.

The thyme we didn't pick seemed to die or at least turned brown. We dried a lot of it this year. But moving the old growth aside, we saw fresh plants coming up. Pretty damn tough stuff, apparently.

37 In the Oregon Cascades there are specific areas that are treaty areas for the tribes to harvest berries.

Otherwise, on public land it is open to harvest, but few people do.
Except the himalaya thickets on the roadsides.

38 Ronster: close, but no cigar.

"mousey brown on top white bellies.
Those are what we call deer mice.
They carry the Hantavirus."

Deer mice are colored like that, but they transmit
Lyme Disease through ticks to humans.

Hantavirus is transmitted by urine from
Peromyscus maniculatus, the pinyon mouse.
Also brown-gray over white.

I take off points on the final exam if they mix them up.

you, as a card-carrying Moron, are of course excused

39 We had a frost warning in northern Virginia last night. Didn't quite get there but it was close and the dew on the grass was thick. Damn! It felt good after the heat and humidity of this summer. And despite the cool temps, brushing my hand across the latest growth of dill still left a wonderful fragrance.

Posted by: JTB at October 19, 2019 02:37 PM (bmdz3)

40 The butterfly is Spicebush Swallowtail.
The white flowers are Autumn Clematis.
The purple flowers are Ironweed.
The thin orange threads among the flowers is Dodder, a parasitic vine that can weaken and/or kill the host plant, if not kept in check. Keep an eye out for it in the springtime and remove it in post and in haste.
What do I win?

43 When we lived in NJ back in the last century, my 2 preschool daughters and I would start scouting the woodsy area behind our house for wild blueberries as soon as it warmed up. We had to get them before the birds could when they ripened. Since we nibbled as we picked, it took awhile to collect enough for baking yummy things. They weren't very big but they certainly were good.

Posted by: AlmostYuman at October 19, 2019 02:47 PM (Hzze0)

44 That wild clematis is invasive here. I've been battling it since the neighbor (now long gone) planted it.
Sun, shade, makes no difference.

45 W seldom have mice in the house and they aren't much of a problem outside. We have well fed hawks and owls in the area. But we've been in the house for 35 years and a couple of times the field mice were everywhere. Maybe they have population explosions every now and then, like lemmings. Once that phase is over, they mostly disappear.

I've had fresh in Finland, also jam and cloudberry liqueur (Lakka). They are less sweet than most Rubus species with a little astringency. Reminded me of a sweeter salmonberry.

60 Though tomatoes were poor quality this year I seem to get a few up until the first frost.

Posted by: Skip at October 19, 2019 04:57 PM (ZCEU2)

61 From Idaho's Treasure Valley: I would have been here sooner, but we had a power glitch just before noon, then the power went out an hour later, and stayed down for 2 hours. We did have some rain at 8 AM, various wind gusts, and even a short band of sleet, but I don't know what the direct cause of the outage was. I *do* know we only got part of today's project finished - we started making apple pie filling, for canning, from the probably-Jonathans we collected.

The probably-Jonathan tree never has many apples, but this year it has a bunch of reasonably sized ones, that will do well in the peeler-corer gizmo. Husband had prepared a bunch of apples, we were getting all the ingredients and equipment out - and down goes the power. Oh, poo. Well, tomorrow's not booked, so tomorrow it is - we can probably also get started on applesauce, with the smaller Jonathans and some of the Golden Delicious. Once we decide we have enough applesauce, the rest become cider.

Under garden-deconstruction: so far, I've torn out the poblano plants, Roma tomato plants, green bush beans, and basil from raised beds. Some of the paddock's corn stalks have gone to people who wanted porch decorations. (As for me, I bought 2 mid-size/small pumpkins from a local place, and put a bunch of my immature butternut squash next to them - might as well get some use out of the inedible ones.) There's still zucchini plants in a raised bed, plus the tomatoes and green beans in the paddock, to tear out.

It's good we did a bunch of leaf raking yesterday, even if the areas we cleared are covered with leaves again, after all the wind gusts. We shredded crabapple, linden, and some maple leaves, and put that in the leaf compost bin. I raked up 4 bags of Annoying Sycamore leaves, which I had to put on the porch so they didn't get soaked or blow around.

As I sit by the front window, I'm watching leaves blow south down the street - the neighborhood properties seem to share leaves, so you never do know where the leaves you're raking actually originated...

An off-topic item of quirky interest - I was following my husband down a gym hallway this week, when a man nearby calls out "Appleseed!" I was wearing my Project Appleseed T-shirt - so, I stopped to talk with him. Turns out he recognized my husband walking by, and my T-shirt gave him the context. We knew each other from Project Appleseed events in Castro Valley, CA - 700 miles from here, and many years ago! It constantly amazes me how often I meet a fellow Rifleman while wearing Appleseed T-shirts! (I met one in Grand Island, Nebraska, this summer at the 4-H National Shooting Sports Championship.) Has anyone else been to a Project Appleseed event, and are there any other Riflemen here?

62 Pat* at October 19, 2019 05:42 PM
Sounds like quite an apple project.

Don't assume that your immature butternuts are all inedible. There may be uses for them, though they won't store too long. I would look into recipes for the more mature Zucchetta Tromboncino type squashes. They are sort of like really long butternuts. One of my friends peeled them and cubed into soup.

I'm a little surprised that you bought pumpkins, but ornamental pumpkins are low on my garden priority list, too.

63 Sorry I missed the live responses. Love the colorful spider! Also very glad it lives far from me. The little orange webweaver is about as much as I can handle, and wolf spiders scare me.

We had a beautiful day for a change. Fall colors reaching their peak. I prepped for doing the finishing touches aka staining on the shed. Should take a gallon at most.

65 Brrr... colder, windier and rainier (rainy-er? haha) than before. So much for raking up more fallen apples today!

Perhaps tomorrow.

And damn it, didn't get the chair cushions in before they got too damp to stow away. Strewn about in an outbuilding until they can be properly bagged and stored...
