mother and daughters on the ol' garlic trim-tray. Jen's family=ExraordinarilyHelpful.
chillin' on vashon's venice beach. burton across the way would be .. Japan. surf's down.
William's Pride? Akane? Holstein? Karmijn de Sonnaville? Liberty? Gravenstein? Elstar? Honeycrisp? Early Fuji? Spartan? Red Jonagold? Transparent? Gala? Ginger Gold? Empire? King? Cameo? Pink Lady? Granny? newcomers we are andunno.
melon crop. outdoors and still produced this year, though each was small. Sprawling and do better in heat, the black plastic works well to collect temperature and suppress weeds in-tight. Jen seeded the uncovered paths with a clover. This week, we pulled the final harvest and the plastic and put the chickens on it. The field needs nutrients and organic matter, but the texture is just fine.
our neighbor Gene is our conduit to Vashon's recent and ancient history and this plot of land's history. (and a genuinely neat guy). He tells us that these are planted in the 50's. During intern interviews, Jen had prospective prospectors brush cut invasive blackberry canes out of the grape row. Tom Rizocki built a post and wire trellis and Gene pruned them on the 3and5 pattern, a good pattern for these American (slip-skin) grapes. Gene the other month gave an arrowhead he found on Vashon to the University of Washington after an archeologist from there informed him it was made 8,000 years ago (6000 bce). take time-out to wonder what their lives were like. free yourself up for 5 minutes. lay down, maybe?
