interesting, never done them from anything other than plants or runners. for strawberries, is it just easier to order the seeds, or does it have an effect like w/ potatoes?

dag, yeah been there. looking back, in that year I wish I'd focused on things I could preserve in the move like perennial berries/herbs, and storable tubers, cloves, etc.

Nice, what kind of cucurbits?

Thanks man, I'm alright on my end. Yeah I can still get into streams & things that don't take the kind of consistency growing does, but I ended up losing so much produce as I lost the time to process. Don't want to over-promise, but I'll (probably much less frequently) still do a few smaller things, and turn some of the normal growing spaces into wildflower/cover-crops for this year. Silver lining of building some good nutrition I suppose.

Not likely to be doing much growing this season. In short I have a family medical situation, and there are really no other relatives to step in for now. I'll be around, but I can't put in the consistent time I usually do to pull off a good grow. Who knows, maybe I'll end up w/ some help and can still do a few things - if so, the sheer volume of pre-nuclear seed potatoes could make for an insane grow.

Last year I did zucchini (just 2 plants) and blanched/vac-pac'ed/froze chunks, assuming I'd use it in soups. Have done it a few times, but yeah there's probably still like 6-8lbs in the freezer even now. Does seem to keep pretty well that way since the air is occluded, but was tough to seal b/c it's so watery.

Can't blame her. Unless you're ready to eat it almost every day for a couple months, I feel like this probably happens to most of us.

pure hogwash

Finally getting some ripe slicers! Brandywine, and what I thought was Stripey, but looks like it's probably Mortgage Lifter. Sugar Rush cherries also putting out a good steady stream of fruit as well.

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.

[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.
