I have a surplus of tomato seedlings so I decided to create a small vegetable patch near the curb to grow "free" tomatoes for passersby. The soil in my front yard is crap so I made kind of a mini Hügel. I dig a trench about 2 feet deep and threw in some birch logs and staves from an old rotted barrel planter, then added leaves and compost, back-filled it with the original soil, then covered it in a layer of cardboard and mulch. I made sure to leave a space in front equal to the deck on my lawnmower.

I cloned these shiitake from a supermarket specimen a long time ago, and this is the first time I've grown them out. I don't know what strain they are, but I'm already liking them better than the 3782 variety I usually grow, even though the yield seems to be a bit lower. They have very chonky stems, but also a nice meaty cap, and a beautiful smooth brown surface. I'm going to find out how they taste presently.

Fresno chilis indoors under a $8 LED grow light. So far, so good. 💡🌶️

Hot sauce finished and bottled. Home grown Fresno chilis, fermented 6 weeks. It's not murderous, but it has some kick (and lots of garlic). I'm going to be gifting it for Christmas mostly, so I need a pithy name for the label.

I'm glad to be back to indoor growing. No weather, or slugs, or hungry raccoons to contend with.

I seem to have been bitten by the gardening bug a little late in northern New Engalnd's short growing season. My Hügel is doing nicely, especially the tomatoes and broccoli, but I wish I had planted more, sooner. I've decided I'm going to try to get some sweet potatoes going, but I don't think there's enough warm weather ahead, so I'm going to start them in a large pot indoors, and try to transplant some shoots outside next spring. In the meantime, maybe I'll get a harvest.

About a month since planting, and the Hügel is doing "OK". The tomato plant on top is going like gangbusters, and the broccoli seems to be doing well. The English thyme is also starting to spread. A few plants are hanging in there but not flourishing, such as the peppers and strawberries. These were the ones that bore the brunt of the skunk attacks though (which have stopped now that the fence is there) and were uprooted several times. Overall I'm encouraged. These mounds are generally not expected to be very productive until year 2, and the stuff I planted was chosen arbitrarily. I'll take some cues from what works well this year, and plant more of that stuff next year.

I got the new hose timer dialed in just in time for a really nice cluster of blue oysters (P. ostreatus).
