Grow Logs: A Little Lost
Maybe it is because I'm doing this on a Samsung tablet , but I cannot get into the page called "Glossary" that is in progress On my air Garden Blog, so I looked and all of my grow logs are missing.
So until I have time to check it out I will just add some of them here, with the notation "Grow Log" at the top.
In a large Blue pot is elephant bush (Portulacaria afra). Left in the small blue pot Is a rainbow elephant bush (Portulacaria afra 'variegata').
Started it from a stem cutting March 6, 2021. It grows nicely together with Malabar spinach.
Hedge Turnip is a Tasty "Weed"
In progress.
Can I make this shunned weed legal? Someone needs to.
Sad Looking Jute
Jute (aka Eqyptian Spinach) seeds sprout overnight but the seedlings are tiny and can take months to get big enough to eat. When they do start flowering the plants will quickly bolt, so I like to take cuttings before that happens in order to get more plants in a shorter time.
Diminutive flowers are edible as well as attractive. As long as I keep picking them off to eat, new flowers will keep coming. If I miss some, they will turn into tiny pods which are tasty and nutritious when they are small and tender.
This may look deader than a doornail just a few minutes after the stem is cut, but by morning it will be completely recovered and in a week or so it will have viable roots. The parent plant will then branch out instead of continuing to grow straight up on a single stem.
Raspberry jam
Adjustment pending? Fast resolution on this one. I have a similar photo of Seedless Strawberry Jam on my other blog. Exact same issue with 2 different sellers. A set of 6 glass jam jars shipped without any padding and only one of the jars in each big box was smashed, but it got goo all over all the others. What a mess. They would not be able to resell the good jars in that condition, so they issued a no-return refund for the full amount.
They have kept a customer happy without overburdening the landfill, RFLOL.
PS: The seedless jam is really good. I use it to flavor my home made ice cream. Yes, sugar, but not as much as in the average commercial product.
