🌱 I think my first try did not post. Here’s a sweet potato I grew weighing in at over 2.5 lbs. They love the summer heat

Finally found out what’s eating my pepper leaves and leaving semi circle bite marks. This is caused by leaf cutter bees. They are beneficial and great pollinators. The “damage” to the plants does not hurt the plants and is far outweighed by the benefits of pollination 🌱

Saw these hiking in BC. Someone else says they are Hydnellum caeruleum but those appear to have blue caps whereas these have blue stems. Any mushroom experts know for sure? 🌱

🌱 The bees just love this bloom. I believe this is a Yucca Faxoniana. There are probably 20 to 30 bees at a time all day on this bloom. Hopefully they also pollinate my other plants!

Harvested these yesterday. Overwintered in a row tunnel that gives about 7° protection and these made it through lots of nights in low 20’s and a few upper teens 🌱 zone 8b

🌱 Pulled back the row cover on one of my raised beds this morning. Cauliflower is heading up nicely despite a pretty cold January. That’s extra good news since I need that space for pepper and tomato seedlings in a few weeks.
