@BowsacNoodle Ah, it's sweetcorn and yeah, even having grown a couple other varieties, this is the shortest I've seen - maybe only 5-6ft. However sweetcorn is generally supposed to be shorter than corn for meal, feed, etc. iirc. -

@BowsacNoodle ? I don't follow. They're just about ready now. Sorry if I'm 'tism-ing and missing a reference...I don't really know pokemon either. -

Corn's tassles just about browned-off in a few cases (again, this 'Gotta Have It' is much less timing consistent from plant-to-plant than anything I've yet grown). Going to be taking some test ears in the next few days. -

Pulling weeds by hand and met this little guy - the Io moth's caterpillar. Those bristles sting. In the vicinity, although not as bad as a beesting. Then again I had some numbing spray. Tried to just throw it out into the field b/c whatever it was eating inevitably got pulled up, but idk if it could find something else in the grasses. -

Cut back that one Salad Burnet plant that survived the winter b/c plenty of its seed looks to have ripened. Incredible cucumber smell. -

@Zealist There's a channel, Deep South Homestead; I think the guy's down in Louisiana - Grows a looooot of sweet taters. He has all kinds of videos on growing/preparing/harvesting/etc., and that's where I got into doing them in dirt. Ime, wouldn't go back to water. -

@Zealist Same. Yeah, I'd guess something like Georgia Jet just from the potato color and greenery's shape/color, but Idk. -

@Zealist Not sure if you're just going for slips in this arrangement, but they won't produce new potatoes until the slips are separated from the root/potato that produced them. -

@Zealist Unless you're somewhere that doesn't frost until close to December, it'll be difficult to produce full sized taters if your slip-producing taters aren't doing that yet.
I have a bunch of extras if you have like a p.o box you feel is sufficiently anonymizing.
That aside, are they in water? If so, I always tell people - dirt works way better ime. I also put them on heating mats to get going a little earlier. poa.st/@collatz/posts/AWwt2XnAqSyag42twe -

Tomatillos are amazing. Haven't intentionally grown any for like 3 seasons, and I think I intentionally pulled all the volunteers that popped up last year, but they're still popping up. -

@Zealist same, but I rolled the dice w/ a bunch of new flowers and herbs this year to see what does well. the front of my house was kind of a mess when we got here, and I'm trying to build up some low-maintenance/self-seeding/perennial things to leave it nicer than we found it as well as learn about a kind of growing I don't do so much -

@Zealist It's a flower that a lot of allotment growers seem to like. I may have to wait until next season to see why lol -

Hello to the extremely-late toms; At least they're in the ground and putting on leaves, but I don't imagine I'll have anything until late July aside from cherry tomatoes.
In order: The most-advanced Sugar Rush cherry tom gifted by a neighbor before and then after pruning suckers (only one that needs it so far lol); Stripey yellow slicer (a local fav); Black Krim dark-shouldered slicer and still my long-time personal fav; and what I thought was Mortgage Lifter although I either confused my seed or it crossed w/ the Brandywine b/c that 'potato leaf' is characteristic of the latter.
