Sugarbaby watermelon plants staying extremely compact, but really not producing fruit any more densely than the much more expansive Mickylees. Overall, Mickylee way ahead at maybe 5 fruit, w/ 3 nearing ripeness off 2 plants, and afaict only 2 fruit w/ 1 well-on for the Sugarbaby. Maybe still worth growing if you just start more plants depending on what we see in flavor. -

alright guys, you won. i thought vegetables were a healthy form of sustenance but they seem full of cyanide-related compounds and even deadlier fructose, so i'll leg you having fun without me. i'm going to pave over my garden.
looks like permaculture is even worse than battery farming.

Grape going well its first in-ground season. Hopefully I can start establishing some good woody shoots for fruit production down the line. -

Well, these 1st-gen-after-seed potatoes sure are vigorous - they're nucleating tubers on the stems above the soil line lol -

@graf the bio alone would've been reason enough -

Onions sizing up well. Not a perfect crop, but definitely an improvement on the blanks and plants that didn't bulb vs. last season. -

To anyone who got the impression I'm making light of Jim's misfortune. bostonscientific.com/en-US/products/stents--coronary/synergy-xd/synergy-xd-48-mm.html ...I'm not a funny man, but I try. -

@Zealist @bexferalgoddess Is it something like the Sweet 100? I've seen pictures of those w/ some pretty nutty trusses. -

Very nice trusses on this Sugar Rush cherry tom I got from a neighbor. May grow again if I'm doing cherries next year and the flavor's there. -

The "gotta have it" sweetcorn is entering peak ripeness.
With the weird more-than-week maturity distribution, that peak should be very spread out and I can almost keep up w/ what hits it by just eating a ton of corn every night until near-mid August. Idk, we'll see how that goes.
I may hold a portion back and vacuum/pack it. We definitely won't have anywhere near as much as w/ the six-shooter from last year (which I still have probably 5-6 _gallons_ of in the chest freezer). Awesome stuff tho - if it's not too much of a p.i.t.a. to store, I could get into the variety in future. -

@Zealist @smokescreen @graf @Rennegade Ime it takes a _lot_ of compost material to make enough such that it'll cover an appreciable area's fertility needs, then again I'm extremely amateur when it comes to things like what you get from cover crops.
Can't speak to chickens but I live close to some goats that I feed every once in a while. The only thing I've seen is that their leavings are extremely compact (not much bigger than rabbit pellets), so unless yours will be on a hard/flat surface I'd think that gathering them for compost will be difficult. Maybe more moving them into plots you're cover cropping in as a first stage before tilling? -

@Zealist @smokescreen @graf @Rennegade I didn't have the gumption/time to go out into the field and gather pats last winter, plus there were a lot of weed-seeds ime. Works great fertility-wise tho. -

@Rennegade Pleurotus ostreatus? Nice. Almost never found them not being attacked by some kind of bug or other in the wild. Must be nice to get some pristine ones growing at home. -

@IAMAL_PHARIUS I think for corn this is the earliest year I've had, but I took a bit of a risk putting it in the ground when I did and just got lucky. Think I'd normally be in line w/ you. -

+ Graf tells me we apparently won't need to be offline, so ignore that I guess. -

@Zealist sorry - Idk if I shared w/ you already but Hoss tool had a video on how they do a fert schedule that I've found pretty useful. Most crucial thing I'd say is that unless you have insanely fertile soil, expect to use some npk, like a 12-12-12 or something, and at a fairly high intensity. -

[Since we'll be offline, doing a couple off-normal-hours poasts to cover the gap]
Have taken maybe half a dozen test ears. The couple that were really filled-out genuinely were some of the sweetest corn I've ever had w/o some kind of unnatural syrupy quality. They were however about as inconsistently finished as the stalks were to put out tassles - as you can see here, a fair number still had some filling out to do despite the completely browned-off silks. -

Finally have some nice beefsteak/slicer trusses setting up. Idrc for the images which was which, but we've got Stripey, Brandywine, and Black Krim here.
