SKULLBIKER'S Everything BUT Peppers 2022 GOLOG(growing other log)

[skullbiker]

Plenty still going on here "midwinter".
That holdout pineapple about half ripe.

The next round of cabbage and Kossak Kohlrabi.

And some more cauliflower.

Yesterday I picked a couple of the current crop of Kossak Kohlrabi and cabbage.

These will likely be featured in my FLOG. I'm thinking fried cabbage and kohlrabi kraut.

SB's golog - premiere institution for patriotic civic reeducation of non-conforming plant. Is beautiful sight.

The late pineapple will get picked today, it looks ready.

The (hopefully) next round of cauliflower plants.

The onions are starting out pretty good. (I know, need weeding)

The Daikon Radishes seem to be getting a good start.

I tried to germinate these old cantaloupe seeds acouple of weeks ago and nothing popped. I’ll try again with better odds!

I also noticed my last post went into last years thread, must be beginning of the year confusion. I’m playing the “Old Man Card”!

I didn't notice, so I'll play along...

I picked my last three Kossak Kohlrabi this afternoon. I have a few recipes I want to try out with these.

Unrelated to the above, if you have a tomato stalk like this, you have "root knot nematodes" and the plant is doomed to an early unproductive death.

A little wildlife in the garden today.
The bad:
Slug with egg clump!

The good:
Little lizard, my watering can would hardly pour and then out popped this guy.

Nice picture of the Root nematode damage! Thankfully, I've never seen it here.

Quite a difference in germination of the 2014 cantaloupe seeds from the last try with zero germination to this time. It reminds me of the saying “Be careful what you wish for”.

I'm happy for you it worked out well. We have tons of melons available here, but they are cut green. They continue to ripen after the harvest and smell attractive, but they always lack the taste of a good melon.

There is nothing like picking a perfectly ripe melon and immediately devouring it!

That's EXACTLY how the deer feel here.

You should reverse that scenerio. The dear can’t eat your stuff if you’re eating them!

I took care of the "seed dump" melon bowl this morning. Twenty four had germinated.

I hope I can give some away, I saved ten.

It was supposed to get down to 28°f last night so I removed the banana bunch from the tree and hung it in the porch to ripen.

A trio of tomato plants. Tomatoberry, Lemon Boy, Brad's Atomic Grape.

What variety is that? Nice haul

I have no idea what it is. The plant was here when I bought the place. They are quite sweet and similar to store variety.

The melon tray is getting a little crowded now.

 

[skullbiker]

Just like my pepper plants, I put one of my watermelon plants under the 8000K tubes and in four days it was flowering. Plant out on melons starting tomorrow.
