This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here’s what I’ve got:

-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more

-Plant beans/peas earlier

-Plant okra later

-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!

-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em

-Wouldn’t bother with celery again, probably

-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I’d do kohlrabi again too

-Planted too many types of lettuce

Huh, I’ve never considered estimating the weight of my hands, but after reading I can see the importance/application.

Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.

Leishmania too.

Saving this to send to coworkers next time we have to go to a meeting that could have been an email

I spent all day Saturday weeding my vegetable garden and adding some radishes, leeks, summer squash, and wax beans I grew from seed. This is my first year growing ground cherries, and they’re really taking off! They taste funky in a good way.

I don’t have chooks anymore but joining to get my chicken fix vicariously, until I move and get some again of course!

That would be an interesting shake-up to the current models of endometriosis. Seems like it would warrant an examination of total intestinal and genitourinary microbiome in people with anemd without endometriosis.

I struggle with that too. It makes me feel a little better that they’re going straight into the compost pile to become nutrients though.
