Pea Shucking Time! One more harvest to go and it's time to close out the pea season here in Maryland Zone 7. The folks that pluck peas together, shuck peas together? With the most beautiful. @kebens.bsky.social

Maybe about 4 or 5 days early, From one lb. there are many. Refilled the grow bags, added some fresh compost and fertilizer and put two each of the potatoes back in each bag. Plenty of time before the next frost to get a second batch.

For the record, 500 Boysenberries equates to 2 lbs of yum! About 25% of the two Boysenberry Plants picked. 🥰 Homemade is better jam and jelly, although back in the day Knotts Farm Jams were top notch. To bad ConAgra got them, very sad.

There can be only one set of peas! Yeah, as I said before, we got one more big harvest of peas to do. 2 lbs 4.2 ounces of peas! That's a new one time harvest Cassiopeia Garden record! Pea fans rejoice! Grow what you eat and eat what you grow. Someone call Guinness... I need a beer 😃

Never had my hen & chicks blossom! Wow, pretty! Garlic has been telling us it's ready in some beds. Glad she's comfortable laying eggs in our garden for the second year 😊

Today is Semper Gumby Day... 😊 Instead of a bewitchingly mad hatter day. We had a weather cancellation. Shifted to making and canning some Pickled Middle Eastern Turnips! Exciting and new, smelled incredible too! Spices added were: Coriander Red Pepper Flakes Bay Leaves Garlic Powder

Submarine Qualified Fruit Picker. 😆 Seriously, what other kind of cross-threaded, floppy eared wingnut would be up at the crack ass of dawn, bowls in one hand and coffee in the other? Product of our little backyard farmette and urban orchard. Blueberries, Red Currants, and various Cherries.

Another 4 lbs. and change of Turnips ready for FRED. We can get just about 2.5 lbs. per batch. Reduced to one 5x11 inch mylar bag with an O2 absorbent pack. They got a bit of a sweet taste then the peppery heat kicks in when freeze dried.

I seriously would have planted these Nanking Cherries, maybe I did? Getting old sucks hahahaha 🥰😂 Oh well, they're here now and quite tasty so well done to us or the B1RDs 🙂

Pulled another 3 dozen onions from their restful slumber in the Cassiopeia Gardens this morning before work. It's a good smell in the AM, onion and coffee 😂🥰🌿 Guarantees a respectful distance between others and my work self 😜

Intermediate and Long Day Onions start bulbing here in Maryland Zone 7b when sunlight hits 14 hours a day. While it's a given you should wait until the onion neck "breaks", you also need to consider size, weather, and soil condition prior to harvesting too. @kebens.bsky.social

Everyone, introducing Prunus avium Regina! Regina will be producing sweet cherries in a couple of years and compliment another later spring blossom cherry we have. Regina had her hole dug 6" deeper than her pot and 2.5 times her pot width. Backfilled with soil from her new home & other soils.

I think we're all broken just a little bit. How you tend and heal that bit though is on you.

Well, we didn't get the afternoon rain here in Havre De Grace, so I got a weekend project done after work. Gazebo Gateway Connector completed, on budget and ahead of schedule to Parsons Bypass. Watch your speed through the gates of course 😉😂

Your future was sold for a pittance…👇 Oh, and btw, wash all your fruits and vegetables real good. Enjoy. 😎✨

We added two more 300 gallon IBC totes, food grade, still had to wash them out a bit. Not a bad thing, paid 50 each. Have to do a x-over from the first two, but we got a plan for that.

Maryland, US Zone 7B. Time to weed, feed, and mulch around the fruit trees here at our little urban vegetable garden and orchard. Pictured are a plum, peach, cherry and one apple tree. 8 done, 14 more to go 🥰 We try to keep a 3" base of hardwood chips, as that seems to be a good amount.

Spring has really sprung at our little urban farmette and orchard. 3.5 blocks from the city hall. Another few years until I retire to become a full time fruit picker.
