Worth's 2017 Accidental Garden. - Page 25

Rattlesnake coming up, I just happened to have some pipe to tie the string to.
Gave them all a shot of miracle grow.
Also the test fennel is viable from the half pound of spice seeds I bought.

I was looking for a rattlesnake. Then I remembered there are both Rattlesnake Watermelons and Rattlesnake Pole Beans.

Worth1 · June 4, 2017

I have both.

Odd how both our cats seem to get in our garden pictures. I'm trying to recall one I've posted without a cat butt in it.

both cats or both ratlers or both?

I have the bean and the melon and the cat.

I have worked my tail off today.
The giant agave got so big I couldn't get out of my driveway without great difficulty.
The other plant got tied back too.
No sooner than I finished and went on a cooling motorcycle ride as soon as I got parked in the garage it came a downpour.
Yes that big ole thing is in a container.

I rather suspect that the roots are no longer in the container...

Tequila!

Cole it is a lot of work to make that stuff.

The rattlesnake beans are hitting on all eight cylinders.
The leaves are a nice dark green.

I do need to by some ironite for the rest of the garden and one of the big tubs.

CR, that page has a really good description of the tequila making process. By Mk. I Eyeball I'd estimate that Worth's piña might make well over a gallon of effective juice. Now all he needs is a steam oven, a grinding stone with oxen, a press, fermentation vat, stills, and maybe oak barrels. And several months.

On second thought, I think I'll buy it.

I am picking few okra and beans.
I will make some beef stew with bean, okra, tomatoes , potatoes, peppers : All from the garden. Of course , except the beef. Maybe I should raise my own cattle.

Worth1 · June 6, 2017

Sharpshooters back in full force.
If I cant take out the nest on the other side of the road I will never get rid of them.
This is only the second year I have ever seen them here and that was years ago.

I have one or two polls coming up in a new thread.
I really would appreciate participation.
Just in the poll, you don't have to comment, some of the questions may be personal to some people.
I am just looking for numbers to better guide me in the right direction.

What lurks behind curtain number two?
A mortgage lifter that is now safely in the house.
I have had socks and now this foam rubber hiding tomatoes from deer.

Found both of my thermometers and now have them both at the same time.
They were within 2 feet of each other in the kitchen.

The reason is I am going to do a little testing of the soil temperature in the tubs and see just what difference color and shading make.
I figure it will take anywhere from 24 to 48 hours to get a good reading.
This will give all of that mass time to adjust and settle down with no added water to mess up the readings.
