Cool! I liked yer seed crop and strategy. Is that fruit you're throwing on the flower beds for soil amendment?

no

they fall of the tree and roll down to the beds....

usually, I dig holes and dump all the apples I've gathered into the holes at the back of the garden,,

ahh thanks. I'll bet you that Apple "depository" must be some good compost.
By the by purty sunflowers too.

then got green beans to pick soon. whole garden was a month late.
so they are shorter bushes but is a lot i can see.

then the yacons. should be much taller. i hope for a long season.

we have a short season only every few years get melons. so looking good.
i did not take photo's of chives, carrots, beets or last potato in bloom.
the russet potato has died back. need to dump trash can and collect them.
orchard is full of fruit. could use some rain.
anyway not bad oh i got 1 more artichoke about done. need to replant
them next year. only had 1 plant make it thru winter.

when sun goes behind clouds sunflowers will face each other.
they share the light reflecting between them.
i thought one of my melons was ready. but i figured i should read
how to tell when ripe.

Cantaloupe: Color, Smell and a Slight Tug
The first signal that a cantaloupe (or a muskmelon) is getting ripe is the color under the netting of the fruit changes from green to tan. A ripe cantaloupe also tends to have a pleasant aroma. Finally, check the spot at top of the melon where it attaches to the vine. On an unripe cantaloupe, the stem end will be firmly attached and smooth at the point where it connects with the melon. As it gets riper, the stem end may rise off the fruit slightly. When the melon is ripe, the stem will separate easily from the melon. Many times the melon may detach from the vine on its own. That's why it's important to keep an eye on melons that are ripening so they don't sit in the garden unpicked too long.

i would have fucked up not tan skin yet.

picked some green beans and more soon.

was just doing a little research on Gelato 44, aka Larry Bird
offspring of Sunset Sherbet and Thin-Mint Girl Scout Cookies
Sunset Sherbet is offspring of Girl Scout Cookies and Pink Panties
Pink Panties is offspring of Burmese Kush and Florida Kush
Thin-Mint Girl Scout Cookies is offspring of OG Kush and Durban Poison
top take-away: Larry Bird's grandma is Pink Panties
