thegardendude 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️🇵🇸Anyone growing beach plum or Chickasaw plum?

YvanJob I've been meaning to do for about a week... parsnip seeds spread out on damp paper. Trying this method for the first time.What other seeds do people try pre-germinating before planting in the ground or modules?<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/GYO" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GYO</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/Allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Allotment</a>

Dorgaldirs GardenStarted four different types of sunflowers indoors today! Hoping that giving them a head start inside will help them grow strong before they face the great outdoors (and the ever-hungry slugs and snails). Fingers crossed for some blooms this year! 🌻🌻🌻 Do you have any tips for protecting young sunflowers from garden pests?

It is not developing in the way kham does, nor does it stir into the ferment like kham does. And, being a PH of 3 should mean that yeast won't develop (?). I am hoping instead that it is a vinegar mother forming. 🤷 So will keep watching.(Any ideas? Pls let me know.)At least 3 more weeks of daily stirring, perhaps longer 👩‍🍳 * Kham is a harmless yeast, but it does impact flavour.<a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Food</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/Fermenting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fermenting</a> <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/GrowYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GrowYourOwn</a>

Robot DiverSpoons be damned, the Haida potatoes are going in the ground (well, bags) today, because for Gus they have become an undying obsession. He truly believes they are his potatoes and how dare we interfere in their destiny. No other potatoes will suffice. Their little eyes are fully budded, and I don't see any more sub zero temps, so today will have to be the day. Granted, I understand his obsession, though mine has less to do with them looking like mouse sized party favours. <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/growYourOwn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#growYourOwn</a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/historicalPlants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#historicalPlants</a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gardening</a> <a href="https://starlite.rodeo/tags/gusTheCat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gusTheCat</a>

YvanAh, so Just Seed are one of those examples of something that comes up on Evilzon a lot but in fact you're actually better off going direct to their own website. (Note I speak from being in the UK here!)I use Just Seed because they're the only place I've managed to source a "correct" form of Japanese green shiso (perilla) from. Everywhere else has the less-frilly large leaved Korean variety. Shiso seeds have a short viability so our 2 year old packet seems to be kaput, so time for some new ones (and we should remember to gather our own seed, much like with parsley our best shiso crops have been once that self-seeded, unlike the parsley unfortunately that hasn't sustained itself year on year... not sure why.)<a href="https://justseed.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://justseed.com/</a><a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#growyourown</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/gyo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gyo</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/seeds" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#seeds</a>

YvanRighty, got a bit distracted by yesterday evening's happenings which derailed me from the old tomato planting task... have caught up on that now ... so that's 10 varieties of cordon tomatoes sown, plus two varieties of tomatillo, and some cape gooseberries.Now tucked up in the "hotfridge" for speedy germination.<a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/growyourown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#growyourown</a> <a href="https://toot.ale.gd/tags/gyo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#gyo</a>
