I’ve got a situation here… I’m about to pick Sugarsnaps first csa, but we had our first frost last night and the pods have a bit of frostbite. 🥶I’ve taste-tested and they’re still good. Does everyone still want them or should I replace them with something else? 🫛

Nap-a Time!

Purple is still a couple weeks away but the green heads are fat and sassy, ready for kimchee, stir-fry, or salad! 😋

In the early post-flood recovery season, I was not finding many caterpillars or pupae anywhere. Most “cutworm” moths pupate in soil so that wasn’t surprising. But as the season progressed, I started seeing more moths at my moth light, and a few caterpillars in crops. I was relieved to see quite a few little ones this week, and aphids. And my pest control technicians are on top of the situation.

In the Brussels sprouts and kale, the various sparrows are actively foraging. First here is a Golden-crowned Sparrow, and two White-crowned Sparrows arrive to defend their territory. But there are also Song Sparrows, Savannah Sparrows, and tiny Lincoln’s Sparrows (my favorite 😍). Later Fox Sparrows should arrive too.

Somebody said, if nothing is eating your plants you aren’t growing an ecosystem. I am proud to support all this biodiversity.

In this week’s bouquets, I used “Sonja” Sunflowers, Cerinthe, “Agave” and “Queeny Mix” Zinnias, and purple and w**e China Asters.

I picked one green bucket (second photo) to make three bouquets.
