“All the world's a stage…”
Zelus longipes, aka the milkweed assassin bug, performing a monologue from As You Like It in the front garden, part of our popular “Shakespeare for Insects” summer series.

I am super excited ! "Something" has "blossomed" in one of my mini-mini-gardens of moss and ferns. It's microscopic, hence the poor quality of the pictures, sorry. Can someone identify what it is ? Several filaments are spreading upward since a few days. One of the filament had a small green ball at the top, and today several little translucent blueish balls appeared, each less than a millimeter. Or, is that eggs from an insect ? (I have baby slugs in another pot btw). It's not reacting if I touch it.
Two days ago: we picked and ate our first good batch of nectarines from our tree! Then we made nectarine jam 🫙
Yesterday: we picked and made a nectarine cobbler 🍰
Today: we picked and made nectarine mango strawberry smoothie and ice cream!
Tomorrow: there are plenty more nectarines on the tree! 🤩 but they are all ripening at the same time! 😱
If you plant lovely things on land that is not legally yours, it's called guerrilla gardening.
Not a bad term, but I think seeditious gardening is better.
September — sure, why not? 🍓
Strawberry plants make no sense to me. 🤷🏽♂️
The tyranny of front gardens: we cut and trim them out of social pressure, not pleasure

After two hours of watering and making messes, the birds arrive.

The compost area on the plot. The compost in the bays will be turned into the daleks to mature. More compost from elsewhere on the plot can then be added to the bays. #Compost #Composting #Mulch #Gardening #Allotment #NoDig
It's that time of the year. The garden is producing a lot this year. This is today's output.
Pulled out Homemade cucumber plants today, end of season for them. One day earlier than when I pulled cukes last year.
Not the best harvest compared to last year's bountiful Wisconsin SMR harvest, but I didn't have to worry about powdery mildew since Homemade has more resistance.
Up-potted Prizehead leaf lettuce into pots the cucumbers were in.
From the Victory Seeds website, I learned Prizehead was introduced in both D. M. Ferry and W. A. Burpee seed catalogs in 1881.
Proud of myself this morning. I removed an old, overgrown, kinda ugly, juniper shrub in front of my home, which opened up a sunny space for more plant containers. It will also be a nice spot to plant those free tulip bulbs I got last week. 🪴🌷🌞
#gardening report: watered because it's just so Dry around here. You can tell it's late season and cooler night temps when I start harvesting unripe tomatoes. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed #share
