Planted the "Summer Zest" bok choy! Still have cabbages, broccoli, and collards to plant. #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #GYO
Last night's adventures in junior gardening included teaching young scouts about how our homes are like hotels between natural areas, how beans and peas create fertilizer plus food, and that violets make great jelly and have exploding seed pods.
They planted pansies, violets, snap peas, and black beans to take home in recycled containers. Yay, Plants!
#gardening report: Finally, a sunny day!!! Made it to the allotment and transplanted 2 types of broccoli, 2 types kale, 2 types collards, 4 types lettuce, 2 types arugula, and some yellow onions. Garlics doing well, 2 small patches of spinach coming up, 1 patch beets doing well. Don't know what the peas are doing, so sowed some more, as well as more beets. Hauled water from home to water transplants. At home, transplanted some parsley into herb bed. Whew tired. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed

How to grow and harvest tulsi (Omicum tenuiflorum)
The chives wintered over, in their pot, protected from windchill. Now, up on a stand and protected from wascally wabbits, they have reached critical mass and will be enjoyed until late Nov. #gardening #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed

Awwww, lovely ^.^ 
(Well, Weedy, actually you wouldn't need ANY money at all. Just organize a community based on mutual help. There is no need for money. We will get there, don't worry ^.^)
#gardening report: still waiting for some drier soil, but some of my plants have announced they are tired of waiting. Doing mental gymnastics to rearrange the garden, hoping soil under row covers isn't a muddy mess. Indoors, I sowed 10 types of peppers and 1 type tomato. Probably should have a second heat mat. Will also need to work hard on the shelf space if the weather doesn't clear up - Shazam, it snowed this morning. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeeds
Haven't done a #gardening report in a while. We're in waiting mode for the soil to dry, sometimes with great patience, and apparently, that's a necessity for the next week. Plants outside whenever it's not raining, back under the lights the rest of the time. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed

An electrifying field experiment =D
(on first sight I thought it's an agrovoltaics experiment, which works really good. But plugging in your garden patch is maybe not that a -bright- idea =D)
What is this weed? Dug out of a Norfolk UK allotment bed.
We saw these little fuzzy leaves poking out of the ground in the middle of our asparagus bed. I dug around them trying to get as much out as possible and my little trowel hit something that went crunch... I dug out this large root/rhizome/tuber... clearly not all of it either. It's huge!
I've no idea what this is.
Edit: as identified by @laurenheywood this is a bryony of some sort ... we actually had this weed growing amongst the asparagus last year and thought it might be some sort of cucumber, but then it had red berries. Turns out it's related to cucumber! I assumed it was some annual, not something with a huge tuber! No we know.
#gardening report: lettuces, arugulas, kales, and collards moved outside to enjoy cool damp weather. Amaranths moved off the heat mat, so put another sowing of basil there. Also sowed wild arugula, regular arugula, and clio (aka Italian dandelion, aka chicory). #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed
Bean transport ... hopefully they survive a ride, they're a little "leggy" and are going to need some support in the ground I reckon (especially on this windy day!) This is half aquadulce broad beans and half vespa field beans. And it's about time I got a second sowing in.
Pondering seed saving: do I need to worry that field beans and broad beans might cross-polinate?
Job I've been meaning to do for about a week... parsnip seeds spread out on damp paper. Trying this method for the first time.
What other seeds do people try pre-germinating before planting in the ground or modules?
#gardening report: moved parsley, collards, kale outside to join the lettuces, all of whom pulled their first all-nighter outside. All will come in before the rains come (tonight?). Sowed alyssum and zinnias. Observed the smallest red sprouts of amaranth. #gyo #GrowFoodFromSeed
