OT Might be problems with our food chain this summer or fall, so thinking about planting garden

I still have the original copy of that LP album that's very collectable...as well as Abbey Road and The White Album...little bit of trivia; the guy who engineered Abbey Road also engineered Dark Side of the Moon....Alan Parsons.

 

@SlyPokerDog , which fruit or vegetables did you finally decide on planting in your garden?

 

Yum. Good choices.

Pork chops, eh? Well, that's better than human bodies.

 

yeah you fucked up if you didn't save room for a baby toe bush. Baby toes are lush in protein and sooo smooth. Just melts in your mouth.

 

I don't know if you looked into it or not, but some vegetables do well or even better with companion plants.

Here's a link to
Good Companion Plants for Beans

 

Wait. I get it now. That's awesome!! Head over. I will stand ten feet back and make sure you are doing it correctly!

 

You know whats awesome??? working away in the garden to some old school Mary J. Blige in the background.
Jump in the studio for a quick bonger and back out in the beautiful weather, back at it! Just planted a raspberry and Blueberry bush.

Ill post some blurry pics later.

 

Grow mint. Make mojito.

 

All my Beatles records were 45 except for the Beatles White Album which I still have.

 

I still have all my original Beatles albums.

Grow lemons. Make souffle.

 

i almost bought a lemon tree, and an orange tree while at home depot yesterday, but those are southern state plants. Florida, cali, georgia... will the grow well here in the pnw? If so im gonna buy one of each today for the property

not sure if you know, being from the bay area. If not, anyone else?

 

Don't know how well citrus grows up north. When I first planted my lemon tree it didn't do well, hovered between life and death for several months. Then my beloved cat Celia died at ripe old age of 18 and I buried her under the lemon tree. About five weeks later the tree started growing like crazy. About the time it would take for a small body wrapped in cotton towel to break down. I call the lemon tree Celia's 10th life.

 

My father used to talk about how lush all the vegetation was in cemeteries.

 

Roses just beginning to bloom.

 

My favorite is the tight new bud of a Mr. Lincoln. Mr. Lincoln is the most beautiful rose I've ever seen, A deep red rose whose buds are nearly black.

 

I have about two dozen roses, just a few blooming. There is one brief time every spring when the entire collection all bloom simultaneously. Only happens once, after that more sequential. A riot of color.

Not so exciting but more practical, planted another crop of carrots, celery, chard, beets, scallions, cauliflower, spinach - have tons of kale & lettuce so not planting more right now. Harvested a handful of carrots.

 

I got the garden bed worked up this weekend. I found out that the local farmers' market is taking on-line orders for starts and that you can just drive through and they'll load them in your car. We plan to pick some up next weekend.

 

Just got out of the shower when Lucia ran in and dropped a mouse on the bath mat. I assured her I have plenty to eat, although why someone would prefer boring vegetables and legumes to fresh meat she could not understand. Humans are weird! While I dried myself she ate the mouse.
