So I’m actually going to use my blog as a blog! I’m going to track my days to note my stress and mood, and also track what I’m eating for my dietitian. This can be completely ignored! This is for my benefit only.

Alarm went off at 6:40 but slept until 6:50.

Fairly normal routine in the morning. Got up, fed KitKat, brushed teeth and hair, got dressed. Went outside to do my morning barn chores and saw the chickens were free roaming which is not great during the night.

Got yelled at by the sheep because they hate being in the stall compared to the horse trailer.

Drove to work while listening to a playlist my roommate and I made together. I got three Hozier songs and a Sleep Token song on the drive so that was great! I’m taking that as a good sign.

This was what I packed for breakfast. I drink V8 energy drinks because I gave up coffee. It’s about to be two months without it. I wanted to try sheep’s milk yogurt but it’s far too sour for me unfortunately. It made me lose my appetite so all I ended up eating was the V8.

And I also set these up. They were an early birthday gift.

Started listening to this playlist while I started working in my cubicle.

Checked my application status for the new position and it was very confusing so I really hope that they’ll contact me and at least tell me I didn’t get the job /:.

Have to work harder this week because my coworker is out and I’m in charge of her responsibilities. Yuck.

My horoscope for the day (it’s just for fun).

Snack time consisted of a cheese stick and a handful of freeze dried coconut milk covered in chocolate.

Here’s what I look like today. Bangs are not banging since I didn’t blow dry them yesterday. Also had to pull hay out of hair as per usual lol.

Lunch consisted of vegetarian ramen, green grapes, and sugar free sparkling “water.” Ate half of the ramen and all of the grapes.

Spent the rest of my shift before leaving for therapy filling out my spreadsheets and then checking on the status of my application. I hope they at least interview me 🙏🏼

Therapy was good. I was able to properly vent about everything that’s bothering me. I got home around 5:00 where I had a snack of popcorn and some chocolate. Also my package came in that had the bulk unscented soap and reusable dispensers in it.

Decided to have a meal while waiting for my roommates to come home. I had strawberries, pretzels, caramel popcorn, and a sandwich that was cold smoked salmon, spinach, spicy mayo, and everything bagel seasoning (since I’m out of furikake), on toasted sour dough bread 🥖. Ate everything!!

Sitting outside while the sheep graze. It’s a nice cool day so sitting in the sun is very pleasant. The sheep grazed for a few hours while I sat in the sun. I also changed their water for the second time today since Princess won’t drink her water unless it’s changed that often and filled their hay bag. I fed them their pellets by hand to reduce choking risk and then put them up for the night.

After putting the sheep up I watered the garden. The garden is looking so happy and I’m really glad all that effort I’ve put into it is paying off. I’ll have to buy mulch soon but luckily it’s not a terribly expensive thing. All the sprouts are looking so good.

After the garden was watered I did the dishes. Then I took half of my vitamins. I took a shower and then blow dried and rolled my bangs so that they actually look decent tomorrow. I tried these cannabis seed oil eye gel things that were given to me as a gift to relieve stress and I guess they’re nice? Brushed and glossed my teeth and put on my night cream. Put my laundry away while KitKat ate his dinner.

Here’s my tarot draw of the day.

King of Wands. A good card when I’m trying to move up in the company.

This is actually my favorite deck. I bought her on clearance and she brings a positive attitude to my life when I desperately need it.

At 9:30 I’ll take my meds and the other half of my vitamins and then hopefully fall asleep quickly.

Stress level: 6/10

Interest in eating: 3/10

Exhaustion: 7/10

#June 2024 #6/10/24 #if anyone clowns on my post about my eating habits it’s an insta block

You don't always need a farm to grow your own food. Edible landscapes and food forests can be grown and enjoyed right in your own backyard. With a little knowledge, trial and error, and continued practice, you can learn to grow all sorts of wonderful fruits and vegetables even in the middle of the suburbs.

What is a food forest?

A food forest is an edible landscape that is modeled after a natural forest ecosystem.

A food forest is an excellent way to produce a large quantity of food with minimal effort. Once established, a food forest will require little to no maintenance and will provide an abundance of fresh fruits, nuts, and vegetables throughout the growing season.

A food forest can be created on any size piece of land, from a small urban backyard to a large rural property. The key to success is to design and plant the food forest in such a way that mimics the structure and function of a natural forest ecosystem.

The benefits of establishing a food forest are many. In addition to providing an abundance of fresh, healthy food, a well-designed food forest can help to improve soil quality, increase biodiversity, and provide habitat for wildlife.

Where can you grow a food forest?

A food forest can be grown in any backyard, regardless of size. The key to success is starting with a plan and design that takes into account the specific conditions of your yard.

The first step is to perform a site analysis, which will help you understand the microclimates, sunlight, soil type and drainage in your yard. With this information, you can select the right plants for your food forest.

Once you have a plan, the next step is to prepare the soil. This may involve adding amendments to improve drainage or adjusting the pH level. Then, it's time to start planting!

When selecting plants for your food forest, consider both annual and perennial crops. Annuals will provide a quick harvest, while perennials will provide a longer-term food source. Be sure to include a mix of fruits, vegetables, nuts and herbs in your planting scheme.

As your food forest grows, it's important to keep an eye on weeds and pests. Hand-pulling or using mulch can help control these problems naturally. With a little care and attention, your backyard food forest will thrive!

Assuming you have the space, there's nothing more gratifying than growing your own food. And, while a traditional vegetable garden has its merits, why not go big and plan for a food forest? With a little bit of planning (and some hard work), you can create a backyard oasis that will provide you with an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables for years to come.

Here are a few tips to get you started:

1. Choose the right location. Make sure you pick a spot that gets plenty of sunlight and has well-drained soil.

2. Select a variety of plants. When it comes to fruit and vegetables, the more the merrier! Plant everything from berries and grapes to tomatoes and potatoes.

3. Give them room to grow. Remember, most fruits and vegetables need room to spread out so don't plant them too close together.

4. Be patient! It takes time for a food forest to reach its full potential but it will be worth the wait!

Growing your own fruit and nuts can save you money at the grocery store, and it’s a great way to get outdoors and enjoy some fresh air while you’re tending to your garden. Food forests can also provide habitat for wildlife, and can help to purify the air and water in urban areas.

The Ultimate Guide to Growing Tomatoes in Europe: Climate, Soil, and Indoor Seed Care

Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables grown across Europe. Originally from South America, tomatoes were brought to Europe in the 16th century by European explorers. However, it took some time for Europeans to warm up to the fruit. Initially, tomatoes were primarily grown for their ornamental value in gardens rather than for consumption. Over the centuries, Europe’s Tomato Seed gained popularity as a food crop across Europe. Nowadays, countries like Italy, Spain, France and the Netherlands are major producers and consumers of tomatoes in the European region. Climate and Soil Requirements for Europe’s Tomato Seed For successful tomato cultivation, it is important to understand the climate and soil requirements. Tomatoes grow best in warm temperatures between 18-30°C. Most parts of Europe experience suitable warm summer months for tomatoes to mature. However, northern regions may require protection from early or late frosts. Tomatoes also need at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day for optimal growth. In terms of soil, tomatoes prefer loose, well-draining soil rich in organic matter. Heavy clay or soggy soils prone to waterlogging should be avoided. The ideal soil pH range is between 6-7. Soil enrichment with compost or well-rotted manure before planting helps boost fertility. Growing Tomato Seeds Indoors In colder parts of Europe, Europe Tomato Seeds common to start tomato seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected spring frost. This allows seedlings to develop into strong transplants ready to be planted outdoors once temperatures warm up. Sow seeds in seed starter mix in small pots or cell packs. Maintain a temperature of 18-24°C and provide bottom heat if possible. Make sure the soil remains moist but not soggy. Seedlings usually emerge within 7-14 days. Provide adequate sunlight, such as under grow lights. Harden off seedlings before transplanting outside for at least a week. Transplanting and Planting Outdoors When night temperatures remain above 10°C, tomato seedlings can safely be transplanted outdoors. Prepare the planting area by clearing weeds and loosening the top 15cm of soil. Space transplanting 60-90cm apart depending on the variety. Dig holes twice the width and depth of each seedling’s container. Gently remove seedlings by squeezing the sides of the container. Plant at the same soil level the seedling was growing in indoors. Water thoroughly after transplanting and apply a 2-4cm thick layer of mulch around the base of each plant to help retain moisture. Stake or cage tomatoes for support as they grow. Varieties of Tomatoes Grown in Europe Over time, many tomato varieties have been specially bred to thrive under Europe’s Tomato Seed growing conditions. Some commonly grown varieties include: - Cherry/Grape Tomatoes: Ideal for containers or short seasons. Varieties include 'Sugar Lump', 'Tommy Toe' and 'Sweet 100'. - Plum Tomatoes: Excellent for sauces and canning. Try 'Romantica', 'San Marzano' and 'Gianni'. - Beefsteak Tomatoes: Large slicing tomatoes great for meals. Favorites are 'Ace 55', 'Super Steak' and 'Brandywine'. - Heirloom Tomatoes: Unique flavors and history. Popular kinds are 'Green Zebra', 'Black Krim' and 'Cherokee Purple'. - Cherry on the Vine Tomatoes: Long clusters of cherry tomatoes remain attached to the vine for easy picking. 'Sungold' is a top choice. Common Pests and Diseases of Tomatoes in Europe Unfortunately, tomatoes do face some pest and disease issues in European gardens that growers need to watch out for: - Tomato Hornworms: Large green caterpillars defoliate plants. Handpick and destroy.

Types Of Blueberry Plants

Blueberries are for sure a delightful treat. They are extremely well known, in the culinary world as well as in natural science.

All things considered, blueberries have a high healthy benefit.

Blueberries have a place with berries in the natural sense, and other organic plants incorporate tomatoes, grapes, and cucumbers.

The class to which blueberries have a place is Vaccinium. A few different plants that have a place with the Vaccinium variety are bilberries, blackberries, cranberries, and raspberries.

I seriously love berries as a rule, yet blueberries stick out. While I was eating some natural product biscuits, I checked out at the blueberries and asked myself, "do blueberries have seeds?"

I have the response (you'll figure out how), and presently I need to impart it to you.

Continue to peruse and figure out the solution to the inquiry "do blueberries have seeds?". We will likewise give you some other data associated with blueberry plants.

Do Blueberries Have Seeds? cut blueberry with seeds

Blueberries are little, so individuals think the blueberries are seeds themselves.

They are not seeds themselves, but rather blueberries contain seeds. The seeds, as in most of berries, are inside the blueberry.

There is one motivation behind why blueberry organic product is confused with blueberry seeds. At the point when you eat a blueberry, you ingest the whole berry.

The seeds are little and, similar to blueberries themselves, are exceptionally delicate.

Since you don't rapidly see little seeds doesn't mean they aren't there.

You can see the seed once the blueberry completely matures.

The Elements Of Blueberry Plants hands picking blueberries from plant

These plants are among the best natural products that exist. Most cultivators plant blueberries because of their high dietary benefit.

It'sIt's not weird that these plants are known as a superfood. Blueberry plants contain a great deal of nutrients, particularly L-ascorbic acid. I'm certain that you've previously caught wind of their cell reinforcement highlights.

Indeed, even the seeds are plentiful in L-ascorbic acid, vitamin K, and fiber.

There are carbs in the blueberries, yet the rate is low — just 14%. The plants are 84% water, which makes the carbs insignificant.

Protein and fat rates are likewise low, which makes the plant helpful.

This kind of berry is additionally wealthy in fiber, so you can consume the plant to work on your wellbeing.

The high measure of nutrients and minerals will likewise further develop skin wellbeing and forestall blood thickening.

Sorts Of Blueberry Plants There are two Types Of Blueberry Plants: lowbush blueberries and highbush blueberries.

The blueberries you see on the racks of stores are highbush, and they are monetarily developed.

Lowbush blueberries, then again, are for the most part developed on ranches. The plants are normally filled in wild knolls — predominantly in North America.

Andean blueberries (wild berries) are accessible all over the place, particularly in Australia.

Developing blueberries in your nursery will rely upon the environment you live in.

Instructions to Develop Blueberries — The Necessities daylight on blueberries

Each plant needs great consideration, and there are a ton of necessities to meet. Light must be changed, as well as the watering plan. Picking the right sort of soil and mulch will likewise assist your plant with flourishing.

Light Prerequisites A few spots in your nursery are more presented to the sun, and as blueberries love the sun, try to place them in those spots.

Blueberries aren't overexposed to the full sun. Right at home, blueberries don't get a lot of sun. At the point when developed external our homes, they will flourish best whenever put in a bright spot.

Great lighting will assist their evergreen leaves with sticking out.

Soil Prerequisites Peat greenery based soil is ideal for planting. As peat greenery based soil holds a decent dampness level, your plant will not endure lack of hydration.

It will likewise guarantee a decent seepage level to forestall overwatering.

In the event that you choose to develop the plant in a pot first, add sphagnum peat greenery.

Numerous producers develop blueberries hydroponically.

The most effective method to Prune Blueberries Producers shouldn't manage blueberry plants during early development stages.

Prune the old stems during winter and leave youthful or moderately aged ones.

This strategy will support the creation particularly on the off chance that the blueberries are developed as natural product plants.

Focus on the mulch when you plant interestingly assuming that it needs recharging.

Leaf drop is a sign of lacking mulch. For this situation, add nitrogen utilizing soybean feasts.

Making a Tree Guild

For the past year I've been working on turning our family house's lawn garden into a self sustained permaculture garden. The physical work and energy that goes into tending lawn is incredible. In addition it needs a lot of water to keep it green all the time!

It's hard work to get rid of lawn at once. So I started making circles around the fruit trees and planting perennials.

////

Ağaç Birliği Oluşturmak

Bir seneye yakın bir süredir aile eviminizin çim bahçesini kendi kendine yeten bir permakültür bahçesine çevirmeye uğraşıyorum.

Çim bakımına harcanan fiziksel güç ve enerji inanılmaz dercede fazla! Üstüne üstlük çimi her daim yeşil tutmak için fazlasıyla su harcamak gerekiyor.

Çimden birdenbire kurtulmak çok zor olduğu için ben de meyve ağaçlarının etrafında günden güne genişleyen daireler açarak çok yıllık bitkiler ekmeye başladım.

1.COMFREY // Karakafes Otu

I heard about the benefits of comfrey a lot while reading about permaculture,but there was no way I can find it here. While I was walking around I found a native comfrey which is Symphytum orientalis. The only difference from the officinale one is that this one has white flowers and has no medicinal uses. I uprooted a couple of them from the sidewalk and planted them around the trees. Now and then I tear the leaves to make a mulch full of minerals. Also when they flower in April bees love them!

////

Karakafes otunun faydalarını permakültür kitaplarında çokça kez okumuştum.Ama bizim buralarda onu bulmak oldukça zordu.Gelin görün ki çevrede yürüyüş yaparken yol kenarında yerel bir karakafes otu gördüm (symphytum orientale). Officinale'den yani kitaplarda bahsedilenden tek farkı çiçeklerinin beyaz olması ve herhangi bir tıbbi kullanımının olmaması. Hemen kaldırım kenarından bir iki tanesini söktüm ve ağaçların etrafına diktim. Arada bir yapraklarını kopartıp, mineral dolu bir malç olarak toprağın üzerine bırakıyorum. Bir de Nisan'da çiçek açtıklarında arılar coşuyor!

2. ARTICHOKE // ENGİNAR

While I was living in Ayvalık right across Mitilini, I got very familiar with artichokes as they're being grown so much around the area. They are a living mulch with their large leaves that keep the soil moist and a wonderfully beneficial vegetable. They give out suckers (in Turkish they're called bastards) which can be planted elsewhere in the garden.Once you have 1 plant you can have many more!

///

Ayvalık'ta yaşarken enginarı bitki olarak tanıma fırsatım olmuştu. Her bahçede mutlaka birkaç tane olurdu. Enginar kocaman yapraklarıyla toprağı nemli tutar, kuruyan yapraklarından malç yapılır, hem toprağa hem de insana faydalı güzel mi güzel bir bitki! Bir de yanlarından çıkan sürgünler (piç deriz biz) sökülüp bahçenin başka yerlerine ekilebilir. Yani, eve geldim bir tane , bahçeye ektim bin tane diyebiliriz!

3.DAFFODILS // NERGİS

Daffodils are flowers that are grown from bulbs. They hold moisture and prevent nutrients from washing away with rains .I found some bulbs online, but it took nearly a month for it to get here because of covid-19. But they were still in shape and I planted them right away in February. It took a little while to see the shoots and I had to protect them from our jumping kittens but they made it through and bloomed so wonderfully! They cheered up me and the bees in the gloomy cold days.

////////////////////////////////

Nergisler soğanlı bitki türlerindendir. Topraktaki nemi tutar ve besinlerin yağmurlarla topraktan akmasını önlerler. Nergis soğanlarını internetten ısmarlamıştım ama covid'den dolayı gelmesi 1 ayı buldu.Neyse ki hala ekilebilir durumdaydılar ve Şubat'ta soğanları kayısı ağacının etrafına ektim. İlk sürgünlerin çıkması biraz uzun sürdü ve onları hoplayıp zıplayan yavru kedilerimizden korumak için çeşitli numaralar bulmam gerekti ama sonunda çiçekler açtı! Karanlık soğuk Mart günlerinde çiçekler beni ve arıları çok mutlu ettiler!

4.CALENDULA // AYNISEFA

Another of my favorite plants!( I have a litttle blog post dedicated to its benefits,you can read it here) . It attracts beneficial insects and deters pests. It's a self seeding plant and new seedlings come up all the time.So I just move the seedlings wherever I want. The best part is that they bloom nearly all year long!

///////

En sevdiğim bitkilerden bir tanesi! Kendisinden burada bahsetmiştim. Yararlı böcekleri kendine çekip zararlıları uzaklaştıran bir çiçek. Aynısefa kendi kendini tohumladığı için devamlı etrafta yeni filizler çıkıyor, ben de onları bahçenin muhtelif yerlerine taşıyıp dikiyorum. İşin en güzel tarafı da neredeyse senenin tamamında çiçek açması!

5.WILDFLOWERS // YABANİ ÇİÇEKLER

Once I cultivated the soil underneath the trees, all kinds of native flowers came up. They're bees’ favorites, add color and joy to otherwise boring lawn, some of them are ground covers that spread prolifically and they need no special attention: they can take care of themselves!

///////

Ağaçların etrrafındaki çimi kaldırdığım ve toprağı çapaladığım için birer birer yerel çiçekler ortaya çıktı. Arılar bu işe çok sevindi! Çim varken monoton görünen bahçeye renk ve neşe geldi. Çiçeklerden bazıları yer örtücüler, yayıldıkça yayılıyorlar (çim alanını azaltmak için ideal bir özellik) ve kendi kendilerine yetip özel bir ilgiye ihtiyaç duymuyorlar!

Lamium Purpureum (dead nettle) // Ballıbaba

Dead nettle was the star of the wildflowers! It was everywhere and I was so joyful to see all kinds of bees -especially bumblebees- buzzing around in cold March days. It's an edible plant with lots of healing properties.

///

Işte bahçedeki yabani çiçeklerin yıldızı ballıbaba! Bir anda heryerde çıktı,büyüdü ve çiçek açtı! Çeşit çeşit arıları vızır vızır çiçeklerinde gezinirken görmek soğuk Mart günlerinde neşeme neşe kattı! Ballıbaba yenebilir bir bitki ve saymakla bitmeyen tıbbi özellikleri var.

Cardamine hirsuta (Bittercress) // Acıtere

With its curly little leaves and tiny white flowers it was growing all around! It's edible and very pretty. It has a funny way of dispersing its seeds. Once the seedpods are dry, as soon as you touch them the seeds fly all over the place! At first I thought they were tiny little insects that were jumping around,but no! They were the jumping seeds!

Acıtere kıvır kıvır yaprakları ve minik beyaz çiçekleriyle bahçenin her yanında belirdi! Yenebilir yaprakları olan şirin bir bitki. Tohumlarını çok komik bir yolla saçıyor. Tohum keseleri kuruyup iyice olgunlaştığında, dokunur dokunmaz tohumlar dört bir yana uçmaya başlıyor! İlk başta ne olduğunu anlamadım ,acaba ufak böcekler mi zıplıyor dedim ama hayır! Zıplayan tohumlardı bunlar! Böylelikle bahçedeki yerini garantiye almış oldu acıterecik.

Veronica persica (speedwell) // Mavişotu, cırcamuk

It almost took over the lawn.It's a creeping plant,a great ground cover and has tiny blue flowers which bees love! I just learned from juliasedibleweeds.com that Gypsies use this plant as a blood purifier. It also heals eyesores,removes excess mucus,soothes internal tissues,treats asthma,coughs..wow!

//////

Bu bitki neredeyse çimi ele geçirdi. Yayılıcı, minik mavi çiçekleri olan güzel bir bitki. Çiçekleri çok küçük olmasına rağmen arılar onu çok seviyor. Bu blog'tan öğrendiğime göre çingeneler mavişotunu kan temizleyici olarak kullanıyorlarmış.Üstelik göz enfeksiyonlarına iyi gelmesinin yanı sıra balgam söktürücü, doku iyileştirici, astımı ve öksürükleri dindirici etkileri varmış...vay be!

St.John's Wort (hypericum perforatum ) // Sarı Kantaron

I see it here and there and I keep it in protection. It's one of my favorite plants! I use its flowers for making an infused oil that I use for making salves. It heals burns and scrapes with incredible speed,like magic! Also an infused tea made of its flowers is an anti-depressant.It cheers you up without even noticing it!

When it's not flowering it develops roots and gives out shoots all round, which makes it a great ground cover.

///////

Bahçenin orasında burasında sarı kantaron bitkisini görüyorum ve hemen koruma altına alıyorum. En sevdiğim bitkilerden birisidir kendisi! Çiçeklerini zeytinyağında bekletip, o yağdan merhem yapıyorum.Yanıkları,kesikleri inanılmaz,sihirli bir hızla iyileştiriyor! Çiçeklerinden demlenen çay da depresyona çok iyi geliyor.Farkına bile varmadan bir bakmışsınız ki yerinizde dans etmeye başlamışsınız!

Bu bitki çiçek açmadığı zaman gücünü köklerine ve etrafa yayılmaya veriyor, bu da çim alanını azaltmak için güzel bir özellik.

Muscari armeniacum (grape hyacinth) // Arap sümbülü

In winter I noticed dark green allium like shoots coming up around the borders of the garden and I let them grow to see what will come out of them. At the end of March small flowers came up and there it was: grape hyacinth! It's such a delicate flower and YES it was also a native plant!

It's wonderful to see how many beautiful and beneficial plants lay underneath the boring lawn!

//////////

Kışın bahçenin kenar kısımlarında çıkan,koyu yeşil soğansı filizler dikkatimi çekti.Bıraktım büyüsünler ki çiçek açınca ne olduklarını anlayayım. Mart sonunda minik mor çiçekleri açtı ve anladım ki bu arap sümbülüymüş! O kadar kibar bir bitki ki...ve EVET o da yerel bir tür!

Tips for caring for blackberries in the fall

Blackberry is similar to raspberry except that its fruit first turns red and then charcoal black. To me, they have a more interesting taste than raspberries, but the seeds are more visible on the teeth. Thanks to the work of plant breeders and the completely thornless varieties they have produced, and thanks to travelers and tourists who have brought new foreign varieties with high-quality fruit to our continent, blackberries are becoming more and more popular and can be seen more and more often on garden plots. However, blackberries tend to grow well only on a trellis, which must be erected in the second year of planting on the plot. The trellis can be placed in the most primitive place. If you have a dozen varieties of blackberries on the plot, plant them with a distance of 6.5 feet (2 meters) between rows so that they do not interfere with each other.

At the edge of the rows, hammer in ordinary metal tubes of 5-6inch (12-15 cm) diameter, make holes in them, and stretch strong wire through them. From the second year on, you can hang blackberry shoots from the wire or twine. Throughout the summer you will be harvesting blackberries and when autumn comes you will be wondering what to do next and how to caring for blackberries! Don't worry: before you remove the blackberry from its stand and place it on a bed of soft leaves or wrap it up with it, you need to prune it hygienically and fertilize it, combined with hydration and moisturizing.

PRUNING BLACKBERRIES There are many subtleties here. You must prune in such a way as to ensure the full growth and development of your blackberry plants later on. Of course, the first order of business is to remove all broken, dry, diseased shoots (no doubt about it), but what's next? Next, you need to relentlessly cut off all shoots that have already borne fruit this year. However, if you are a lucky resident of the southern United States, it is possible not to cut them off completely, but to shorten them to a height of 5 feet (1.5 meters).

All other blackberry shoots, in the current season, unfortunately, our harvest did not satisfy us and you need to prune, removing about 6-8inch (15-20 cm). Most likely, this immature part, even under mulch, will start to behave badly: it may freeze, start to rot, and decay. Naturally, after such an event, all the cut blackberry shoots must be taken out of the area and be sure to burn them, the ashes can be put in a bag: it will come in handy. Let her eat a little, but it (we do not tire of repeating) contains potassium and trace elements that can be fed to, for example, houseplants.

FERTILIZING AND WATERING BLACKBERRIES In what order to do these necessary procedures does not matter at all. Fertilize first and then water, or water first, and then spread the fertilizer on the moist soil - the way you think best.

WATERING BLACKBERRIES Watering well is really just hydrating and moisturizing. If someone tells you he doesn't water his blackberries at all and he has a luxurious yield every year, he is either lying or he has never seen a luxurious yield of blackberries at all. In the first year after planting, when there is no trellis yet, you can only pour 3-4 buckets per square meter of soil. This is best done at the beginning of October when the soil is definitely not frozen yet and it is best to loosen it slightly beforehand. But remember, it should only be loosened slightly. The roots of blackberries must not be touched, and if the roots are damaged then they will start to grow and regrow shoots from the ground (usually with thorns, even if the original shoots did not have any thorns at all). Plants that are still on the trellis, that is, the second and later years after planting, will of course need to be watered twice as much. This is fine. The water will soak deep into the soil and freeze slowly, without causing any damage to the roots. And, if there is a provocative winter thaw, the roots are unlikely to respond to it, and this thawing of blackberries will not cause any damage.

FERTILIZING BLACKBERRIES After watering (let's decide to do just that) fertilize. 50 grams per square meter of dry calcium superphosphate and 25 grams per square meter of potassium sulfate have proven to be the best for blackberries in the fall. You can also cover them with humus about 1 inch thick.

Important! Nitrogen fertilizer should not be applied in autumn, as this will stimulate the growth activity of the shoots and all of them will freeze, maybe even in the quilt.

The easiest thing is done, now it is necessary to carefully remove and cover the blackberry bushes from the trellis.

Important! Alas, but absolutely no damage to the blackberries can withstand frosts of a few tens of degrees Fahrenheit without exceeding a few tens of degrees Fahrenheit. Then already begin negative changes in the tissue, especially at the tips of the shoots. There have been cases where temperatures have dropped sharply from above 32°F (0°C) to slightly negative values, but within a very short period of time, e.g. within a few hours, resulting in death or severe frostbite of uncovered blackberry plants.

THE RIGHT TIME TO MULCH BLACKBERRIES The most appropriate time is often the end of October (in the middle of the US) when it has started to freeze and you can't wait for the warmth to arrive. The most dangerous thing is if the mulching will be followed by a week or even two weeks of really high temperatures or even rain, which can lead to blackberry rooting. For annuals, this is not fatal: from the root buds, the branches rejuvenate again like a bird's "phoenix". Of course, the gardener will lose the whole season, and if he makes repeated mistakes, he will lose the second season. Here we must be guided by the indications of the weather stations, which sometimes tell us exactly when a steady cold spell is coming. And while we wait for the cold, you can treat blackberries with a 3% Bordeaux solution to rid the plants of winter stage pests and diseases.

As long as the temperature goes down below 32°F (0°C) and doesn't even rise above 32°F (0°C) during the day, blackberry mulching is very possible. As we have already said, the period for mulching blackberries is usually in late October or early November in the central part of the U.S. However, this is in the middle of the country. If you live farther south, you may not need mulch at all, or even be prohibited (shoots will be prohibited because inside, under mulch, a lot of completely unnecessary moisture accumulates, and if there is too much moisture, you can even start rotting the roots, and then the blackberries will die completely). If you live in the north, then you can start mulching a whole month earlier. Therefore, before you mulch, you need to remember some important rules.

Rule #1: Blackberries can be ruined not only by a winter with no snow at all but also by a provocative thaw where frost suddenly turns to rain. In this case, the buds will freeze to death, so try to use extra, such as dried leaves, in addition to the main shelter, which can "take the hit". Rule #2: Do not rush to cover blackberries and wait for a light but steady frost, otherwise both roots and buds will simply uproot. As we have already mentioned, if you rush to cover, a lot of water will accumulate under it; in fact, a greenhouse effect will occur, which will damage the above-ground parts of the plant and the root system. In addition, due to the excess of water, various fungi and bacteria develop very actively. In this case, the shrub will regrow in spring, only if the above-ground part dies or if the top is a bit podgy, but if the roots are affected, the site will have to be laid again. Rule #3: If you live in a western area where the thermometer doesn't go below 14°F (-10°C) in the winter, forget about mulching or use a single layer of agricultural fabric, which "breathes".

Those who have mulched their grapes will find it easier, while those who have not will find it more difficult. Blackberry branches, very carefully so as not to break, should be removed from their supports, wire, and placed on the surface of the soil that has been taken by frost, and gently pinned to them. If the bush is large, tie them together with twine before laying. To exclude the blowing of blackberries, or at least minimize it, it is necessary to cover the shoots already laid on the surface of the soil with dry leaves (or lay branches on top of them, sprinkled with leaves in advance), and afterward with a soil mulch film, something that should be fixed and not tear the wind. This can be bricks on the edge, crates, plywood, etc.

THE PERFECT MULCHING MATERIAL Gardeners have debated, are debating, and will continue to debate what is the best mulching material for blackberries. Some try to mulch with film, others use agricultural fabrics exclusively, but trust me, whichever way you choose, it still has pros and cons. Take film for example: if you live in the middle of the country, that's fine, but if you're near the south, obviously the temperature changes in the winter can create condensation under the film, leading to the consequences mentioned above. If you have decided to use film, or if you don't have anything else handy, you can use a layer between the plants and the film, for example, a mulch, as in a layer of moss - with double protection: against moisture and against frost. Then there are agro textiles, a relatively new non-woven material that has perfect permeability to water and air (they "breathe"). Even during the thawing period (which occurs in autumn and winter), agro textiles show their good side: they let water pass through and allow it to evaporate.

However, if there is too much water (i.e. active snowmelt in mid-winter), it cannot cope with the evaporation of excess water and it thaws. Therefore, in areas where thawing is active, you better warn yourself and use fir wood, corn, or at least dry leaves covered with twigs or branches. If you have to choose between light and black wool, it is better to choose light wool, because black wool gets very hot in spring (if you live in the city and your blackberries are in a country house, when you go to the country house it will be cooked under black wool). It is recommended for northerners to use sintepon synthetic mulch film, but it should not be placed on the plant, but on pre-layered leaves, dry and free from all kinds of diseases. However, in warm winters with low snow, plants in northern areas may suffer under this type of mulch.

MISTAKES WHEN MULCHING BLACKBERRIES The first mistake: is not appearing under the cover of the poison of mice (believe me, they eat all the buds). The second mistake: is using sawdust as insulation for blackberries. They absorb moisture very quickly, turn into just a block of ice, and then melt very slowly. I personally found a piece of ice as late as July in a pile of sawdust. What's wrong with that? Blackberries don't warm up in the spring, they slowly wilt under the ice and rocks instead. The third mistake: is using straw for mulch. Straw actively attracts rodents, who settle in it, build "apartment buildings" and live there, eating blackberry buds and nibbling on shoots, and in spring it is not easy to remove all the semi-digested winter straw from the site.

The fourth mistake: is delaying the removal of mulch material. Remember to run to the site as soon as the snow melts and the temperature rises to remove the mulching material: a strong frost will not, but a thaw may occur. Make sure you remove the mulching material before the buds on the blackberries swell. Basically, there is nothing particularly complicated: a dozen shrubs, primitive trellis, no less primitive shelter, and the main thing - all the time and at the same time, do not forget the rodents.

All parts of kudzu can and should be harvested all year round in north america, due to the severity of the invasiveness issue. However, certain parts have better results in certain seasons, which I have marked below.

Kudzu root (winter harvest) use cases include:

ASSISTING in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal symptoms (ASK YOUR DOCTOR FIRST)

A roasted vegetable to mix with your carrots and potatoes

A mashed vegetable with cream/butter/fat, garlic, and/or gravy

A soup vegetable with broth, other veg, and/or meat

Mashed in broth until porridge, which is nice for sick people, very easy to digest and unobtrusive in flavour

A pickle with vinegar (rice or white), sugar, and chili flakes (finely sliced or grated)

A thickening powder for soups and gravies (dried and ground)

A dry shampoo (dried and ground, then sifted to remove the woody parts)

Kudzu Leaf (spring harvest) use cases include:

Steamed or boiled leaf vegetable (Young, tender leaves only)

"Cooked" in lemon juice then used for salad or sandwich (Young, tender leaves only)

Fry with onions then mix with eggs in a scramble, omelette or quiche (young, tender leaves only)

Baking parchment, especially good for fish IMO (clean and fresh older leaves, layered about 3 thick; fresh leaves are safe even on open flame; good for campers!)

Forage for chickens (any leaves, but only the leaves! Chickens won't eat the vine, which can then root and grow in your coop invasively)

Kudzu Blossom (Summer harvest) uses include:

Flavouring for syrup or honey, which is then really nice in tea, water, or soda water

Boiled and crystalized in sugar for candy or a cake decoration

Fermented in sugar water to produce vinegar (the flowers are pretty yeasty, like cabbage and grape, so they ferment quickly once sugar is available)

Fermented in sugar water with wine yeast, to produce wine

Fermented with honey for a surprisingly grape soda like mead experience

Kudzu Vine (autumn harvest) uses include:

Stripped to fiber to make a thread or yarn and used accordingly (it's very shiny)

Shredded, mulched, or mown, it is excellent forage for sheep, rabbits, and goats, especially goats, goats love this stuff

Train your goats to become kudzu predators then rent them out as an extermination force

Kudzu Seeds and Pods/Beans are TOXIC!! DO NOT EAT THEM! (they're safe to touch, just wash your hands after). Honestly I hesitate to call the beans "useful" in any way, given the invasiveness of the plant. You could maybe dry them up and use them for art or something? But no one in north america should need to make seedlings, you know? If you want a kudzu seedling like... walk near any vertical growth of kudzu and you'll find the seedlings!!

not gonna lie kudzu has shot up to the top of my list of favorite plants so fast. she's such a bad bitch.

Known as the Brazilian grape tree or jabuticaba (Myrciaria cauliflora), the fruit and the flowers of this grape tree actually grow on the tree trunk. They are only grown in Brazil.

Native to the southeastern region of Brazil, this grape tree has been nurtured since pre-Columbian times. The Tupi people named it jabuticaba: jabuti meaning tortoise and caba meaning place. The Brazilian grape tree grows in places where there are lots of tortoises. As the fruits mature and fall to the ground, the tortoises have a feast in the shady mulch beneath the trees.

It takes a long time to grow a Brazilian grape tree from seed, but once established, it can grow to 15 meters in height, and it’s considered an evergreen as it has the potential to sprout leaves and fruit all year long. In fact, given the warm climate of southeastern Brazil, this tree has been known to produce 2-5 crops annually as long as the tree is sufficiently irrigated. With white blossoms that hug the trunk, the tree in bloom, looks like it’s covered in snow.

In 1904, the tree was introduced to California, but it didn’t survive. A smaller variety grows in southern Florida, but it remains a tree that only does well in tropical climates.

Other varieties grow in Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Paraguay. A member of the Myrtaceae (myrtle) tree family, the Brazilian grape tree is related to the eucalyptus tree, allspice, and guavas. They are indeed unique and are grown as miniature trees by people who enjoy bonsai, particularly in Taiwan and parts of the Caribbean.

The grape-shaped nodules that project from the trunk and branches are about 1-2 inches in diameter. Much like the muscadine grapes of the southern regions of North America, the Brazilian grape has larger seeds, usually 1-4 per fruit. When ripe, the grape ranges in color from bright green to purple-black, red-purple, and burgundy-purple. It tastes spicy and slightly acidic.

The outer skin isn’t eaten. It’s bitter and astringent with a high tannin content that can be harmful if eaten frequently in large quantities. However, the white, gelatinous flesh underneath the skin is very popular fresh off the tree or made into a wide variety of sweet concoctions including jams, marmalades, desserts, and wine.

A new harvest of Brazilian grapes is highly anticipated locally. The fruit perishes quickly, usually within 3-4 days, making export impossible, so the fresh fruit is only sold close to the areas where it’s grown. (source)

The tree is called “jabuticabeiras” and the fruits “jabuticabas”.
