Hey, I got a squash! Did I pick it a couple weeks early? Shut uP!!!

We’ve been getting corn, plenty of salad greens, green beans out the wazoo, tomatoes galore, and plenty of peppers!

I’ve been collecting the ground cherries dropping off the bush and made my first jam ever! It didn’t make very much… BUT IT’S DELICIOUS. It tastes like…roasted pineapple pie, maybe?

Correct, it’s Diatomaceous earth that got wet. :)

We had a windstorm last week and one of my tomato trellises snapped, ohhh noooo! The good news is all the vines survived with minor injuries and are on a new trellis.

I’ve been getting ground cherries by the handful! Time to make jam…

We’ve been getting green beans galore, the peppers are peppering, and the corn continues to corn!

I’m very happy, as my pumpkin vines decided to grow four new gourds! Hooray! The kabocha I’m growing is also doing great, and has a couple new gourds as well! We won’t starve this winter!

The bad garden news is two out of my five cucumber vines have perished, for no real reason I can tell :(

I’ve started a bunch of mesclun to keep the Baby Greens Train rolling! The garden is providing green beans, and the torrent of tomatoes has just begun. The Shishito peppers are coming in nicely, and the ground cherries have started dropping off the plants!

The children yearn for the mines

I’m doing Kabocha and Blue Hubbard~ The hubbard squash was supposed to be a trap crop in the less controlled wildlife garden, but gourd fortune smiled on me and no pests showed up; the vine has gone nuts with 6 viable (large!) fruits on it. It’s my second year trying to grow squash, so 2 outta 3 ain’t bad!

Turkeys!!!

I feel you on the pumpkins, I think I’m only getting two this year. My other two squash varieties are doing great, but there’s just two green pumpkins on the vine…and a bunch more sad ones :(

Those are some lovely blooms! Bee pics plz.

Our tomatoes are finally blushing!

The peppers are all peppering, including this CHAMP Shishito matching the pepper size of the others! You grow on now! (All the other Shishito plants are normal size)

I’ve got a decent number of Kabocha squash growing, exciting!

And a number of Hubbard squash hanging around getting big!

For some reason, most of our sunflowers didn’t come up this year. Only a few did, and they all seem to be facing away from the sun??

I’ve been trying to grow marigolds for Día de los Muertos as we always seem to get to the holiday week and have to scramble to find them. It’s going well!

Is it The Wandering Village?

There’s always room for more

Looks really cool. I’ve been working on implementing SSO through Authentik for every home lab service that supports it (Like Proxmox!) Do you think you’ll add SSO/SAML? If you do, I recommend not locking it behind the enterprise plan to encourage adoption.

Symfonium can create playlists and push them to Navidrome. It’s got great import/sync options.

Congrats! Glad y’all’s teamwork paid off!

Gotta get with the times, yo.

It’s a busy spring for me! This is year two in a new home, and I’ve started converting larger chunks of boring grass into wildlife gardens and raised beds. So far this year I’ve put together:

• New herb garden - Thyme, oregeno, borage, chamomile, sage, you name it! Already Planted!

• A small cornfield - currently growing crimson clover and lettuce greens.

• A small squashfield more crimson clover! And getting the eventual companion beans going!

• A small wildlife garden - sunflowers, more clover, blue hubbard squash, and scarlet runner beans. Food for critters (and also trap crops to keep em off the human food!)

• A second raised bed (for square foot gardening) - Currently has little gem lettuce, red fire lettuce, oak fire mustard greens, carrots, turnips and moooooore~

• I also got a small plastic greenhouse this year, so now I have TEN MILLION tomato babies. Hooray! The peppers I’m growing are not quite ready for transplanting yet, but they’ll get there.

food prep is love, food prep is life

Don’t sleep on the video walk through, it can be truly invaluable.

To be honest, would a spreadsheet not be a good use for this? There are FOSS asset trackers, but a simple .ods with a pictures column might serve you well. Are there additional features/conveniences you are looking for?

That’s the neat part: you don’t!
