Here are our grape vines, this year. There isn't much variegated grape leafhopper damage. There were lots of leafhoppers, but they disappeared, and came back, and I think they might be gone again.

Here's a grape cutting that survived and apparently rooted! We've had some cool and wet weather that probably helped it out.

I was eating some burritos, today (baked frozen chimichangas), and decided to wrap the last one in some chilacayote leaves from the garden, as I had done first recently. I first put a stack of leaves in the toaster oven on bake for a few minutes (to make them softer). Then I wrapped the burrito ...read more

I harvested some bunching onion seeds, today, likely Crimson Forest. I took a brown paper bag, put the heads inside, and shook them to get the loose seeds to fall into the bag. When I finally looked in the bag, it had lots of earwigs in it! I hadn't seen any in the flowers, but I guess they hide...read more

SunGold F1 tomato
These super popular 1", 1–2oz, cherry tomatoes are supposed to be quite sweet, tart, prolific, and even early. Some say it splits easily. Note that SunOrange F1 is supposed to be similar, except with larger fruit, less prone to splitting. SunGold F1 is often compared w...read more

I'm trying to figure out what species of grass this is. This is an unusually succulent-looking specimen. It's one of our predominant weeds. It clumps and grows maybe 2.5 feet tall.

This is one of the kinds that is often found on roads and dry soil. when mature (this one isn't mature), they make a sound when they fly, and they have black with yellow shown on their open wings.

Here's a picture of our beebalm, this year. It's at least a few years old. I'm not sure which species it is, but it gets red flowers.

I think it's some kind of Euphorbia similar to Euphorbia serpens, Euphorbia prostata and Euphorbia maculata, but is seems to grow flatter with smaller, rounder leaves than those (maybe you can't tell its flat tendancy now, with the rain we've had). It's one of the most drought-tolerant p...read more

Here's our oregano plant, today. It was planted last spring, I believe. That's awesome that it's a perennial. It was a purchased plant, last year, probably from The Home Depot.

I've had a grapefruit tree for 24 to 29 years. I planted it as a seed. I planted several others, which sprouted, but they got something like mealybugs and all of them died, except this one (which became free from the pest after a while).
We use my tree as a houseplant. It's never been outside...read more

I'm growing some tomatillos in a container. However, in one of the containers (not with the biggest of the tomatillo plants that I'm growing), it's chalk full of purslane! I don't know how it got there in such large numbers, but it did.
Purslane is edible and I like the idea of having it in a...read more
