Gardening, Puttering and Adventure Thread, Sept 28

Helianthus-maximiliani-2-7.jpg

Hi, everybody! Any news from the hurricane or fire zones? We worry.

The great photo above is from Don in Kansas, who has posted a gardening year in review, with several great photos and some valuable information if you are planning next year's garden.

The enormous clump of Helianthus maximiliani, seven feet tall, has just started blooming, and the much smaller Tricyrtis will follow in a few days. Otherwise, the garden is pretty much done for the year. This is as good a time as any to look back and see what did well and what didn’t, and what did too well.

Callirhoe-involucrata-2-.jpg

Callirhoe involucrata is the prettiest of all weeds in the prairie lawn, with a splendid display of bright magenta flowers in early summer. Prairie Moon Nursery claims that it is well-behaved: “Mature plants spread out over about 3 feet. Despite these rambling habits, Purple Poppy Mallow plays nicely with others – topping out between 6 and 12 inches – which allows enough sunlight for other plants to poke through and share the spotlight.” Well, maybe — if grown hard with minimal water. In good soil with regular water, once established it becomes monstrous, rapidly overwhelming everything nearby. I’ve kept the plants hacked back, and they’ll be coming out entirely soon.

I'm growing two kinds of milkweed, which monarchs have discovered.

Don's Echinacea (photo at the link) was also attacked by caterpillars of the Silvery Checkerspot butterfly. But the flowers survived!

Lots more great photos and information at the link. Take a look!

Edible Gardening/Putting Things By

By-Tor is still working through his bumper crop of Habaneros. We got a photo of Habaneros on street tacos, then a detailed recipe for Pineapple-Habanero Jam on Sept. 14 and Chinese Hot Chili Oil (with Habanero) on Sept. 21. By-Tor says the projects below worked out well, too. The hot sauce bottles came from Amazon.

Still working my way through my stash of habaneros, this time with tropical jam (papaya, guava, pineapple and habanero) and habanero hot sauce.

Enhancing the growing environment for fruits on the Wasatch Front

Yet another Mini Van load from another one of our Food Forests In Ogden. Dry Farming Fruit is much prettier, sweeter than anything you’ve ever ate before! Thanks to the tons and tons of Woodchips we use we can totally stop watering. This increases the sugar content and allows everything to ripen uniformly. YOU can do this too in YOUR backyard supermarket. Even though it is almost October using Greenhouses, Dry Farming and lots of sunshine our harvests are improving! Insanely sweet Donut Peaches, O Henry’s, Honeycrisp Apples, Bosc Pears, Tomatoes NO SPRAY. Will be at the farmers markets we attend in Utah.

MORE Neighborhood Farms!

("Dry farm" here may mean "no water since the end of August". This sweetens the fruit before harvest)

Figs require winter protection on the Wasatch Front. Peach blossoms or small fruit may get frozen out some years if there is an early bloom or late frost. Apricots are chancier, and only a few varieties are grown there.

As a rule, it is a great idea to check out the climate adaptation of any variety of stone fruit you want to plant, as well as the rootstock it is grafted onto (if applicable).

If winter protection is going to be necessary, you need a plan to control the size of your tree.

Illuminated Manuscript

Seasonal dried fruits – a chestnut and hazelnuts – decorate the bottom of this folio of the Mira calligraphiae monumenta, a collection bringing together a selection of "admirable calligraphies".

A blue iris with spread petals completes the composition. This iris is also called England iris or English iris. At the end of the 16th century, when the monks of the Bavarian Abbey of Eichstätt received its large bulbs from the Big Island, they believed that this iris usually grew there. This sort of iris was later named Iris bulbosa anglicana.

The small format manuscript was calligraphed in Vienna by Georg Bocskay and illuminated by Joris Hoefnagel, two Hungarian artists, between 1561 and 1596.

The Royal Horticultural Society says that the iris is from Spain (if it's the same one). Looks kinda different. No indications on that page that it is an Iris for Summer or Fall.

Puttering

This week from Bird Dog at Maggie's Farm, Overseeding a tired lawn.

Lawns are sort of silly things, but good for kids. I like a Cape Cod lawn - which is no lawn. Sand, some wild grasses, some Black Pines and Scrub Oak. Zero maintenance. Well, we can't all have that. Deserts are easy too, except for the golf courses.


OK, around here late September and early October is the time to overseed. Grasses like cool weather, and the new seed needs to be watered once or twice for at least two weeks unless it rains: How to overseed a lackluster lawn.

BirdDog has a couple of tips of his own, too.

At last week's link (bottom of the post), power seeding (slit seeding) a lawn.

Adventure

the wave UT.jpg

Near the Arizona/Utah border is this truly spectacular sandstone rock formation called the Wave that looks more like a surrealist painting than an actual place you can visit. The undulating rock formations are not only visually striking but also geologically significant, as the patterns are a result of ancient sand dunes that hardened into rock, then eroded into the fluid forms seen today.

12 Beautiful photos as usual, and I like the yellow pea flowers on Don's site.

I had an interesting thing happen in the garden: cross-pollination of summer and winter squash. Specifically, black beauty zucchini and yellow acorn squash.

Early this month, I had several weird, pale yellow zucchini that shriveled on the vine. I didn't catch on until I found an acorn squash that grew longer and longer. I'm not sure how to tell when it's ready to pick, but I look forward to taste-testing it.

There's also a new baby Orca in one of the southern Puget Sound pods. I believe it's L pod. I've seen pictures, but not a live sighting. It's just beautiful seeing it swim with momma.

Currently, I am decluttering the shed- ruthlessly- it is so easy to pick up stuff from the thrift store that I wind up not using. I will be mulching the paths, putting sheet compost on the beds and generally tidying up.

The pale yellow zucchini that shriveled on the vine may not have been pollinated, or may not have been pollinated enough to get bigger.

Your acorn squash may not be getting longer because it was cross-pollinated by zucchini this year. It may be the result of seed that was somehow cross-pollinated last year. Zucchini and acorn squash are the same species.

Race against time here in SE PA. I put my cherry tomatoes into the ground too early, and for some reason when the temps hit optimum they put all their energy into growing tall, but little into budding. Now I have hundreds of buds and lower temperatures. Maybe three weeks until first frost, about October 20th. It's going to be close.

I think I understand why farmers will only key on growing one crop. The complexity grows the more crops you grow. I do know that next year I will devote at least twice as much area to growing stuff. More lettuce, more tomato, more cucumbers. Basic salad stuff that is not cheap at the grocery store, but with the addition of some small quantity of protein should cover at least one healthy meal a day.

My advice to a beginner would be to concern yourself with growing lettuce and tomato, then expand from there.

39 Grass seed, especially Bluegrass, is going to be far better planted in the Fall than in the Spring.

I'm convinced the problem is Marketing. A garden shop that doesn't sell Grass seed and Fertilizer in the spring, and counsels customers how stupid it is to try and grow grass from Spring into Summer, would lose a lot of business.

So they stock everything up and sell it, because the Customer is an idiot, but we do need to take his money, or else who really is the idiot here in the equation?

45 We are finally getting a whole lot of much needed rain. We had about 6 weeks of hot and very dry weather. It started raining and windy very late Thursday night and continued through last night. Still raining but the wind has stopped howling across my hill. Not soon enough. My 20 year old redbud tree is now broken. One large limb down. The shitty old pecan tree has multiple larger and smaller branches down.
Better news.... My hydrangeas have flower buds! I have never seen one bloom the same year it's transplanted. One had a full flower in August but now all of them have flower buds. It's crazy how late this is happening. I hope it doesn't cause trouble next summer when they should be blooming.

Last year I was taking a stab at trellising my tomatoes, and when it got hot, I hung shadecloth over the trellises and ran a mister under it to try and keep the temperatures down. I am never very sure if I ever got anything right, but I did get a lot of tomatoes. It might have been because of the watering though.
This year I half assed everything and did not get much beyond cherry tomatoes. Next year I will go back to trying to do the shade and misting.

49 From Boise area: Highs 77-93 F, lows 46-64. Returned from a trailer trip on Sat. 21st. I told friends to come get free food - they didn't. I found many too-large zucchini, which I had to compost with a machete. Lots of red raspberries at first, though they've slowed down. Also lots of Sun Gold tomatoes, which are producing steadily. Slicing and paste tomatoes still coming in. Husband picked a few of the apples and pears we got - if we want to make cider, we'll need to buy apples. Gasp!

I've dug all the flowers out of one bed - they came from a hummingbird mix years back, but I don't see hummingbirds on the flowers that have survived, they aren't good cut flowers, and the lupine attracted aphids like crazy. Time to put that bed into food production!

We just dug 2 more of our potato bags but I haven't weighed them yet. A number of these will become seed potatoes, since they're green.

We had to pull the irrigation tubing (known as The Squid) out of the corn patch - heavy weeds this year... Husband has also had to repair my toilet, replace the bathroom fan in the trailer, and call a washing machine repairman - a rough week for our infrastructure.
