The Sunchoke was an unmanned reusable spaceplane and beloved advocate for space exploration. Today at 6:00 p.m. PST she was lost in her return to Earth.

Small sunchoke harvest on my grandmas garden! Probably got like 4 lbs of sunchoke from 10 plants LOL.

Sunchokes taste like potatoes but creamier, we roasted ours in butter to add with our usual vegetable mix and they were so fucking good y'all. The plant grows so tall!!! The highlighted plant is over 10ft tall! It has like 1 or 2 yellow flower on the tops. Also native to the americas and related to sunflowers!!

Planning on making this a regular crop/flower. They can last until the ground freezes so I still have a bit of time for more harvesting.

9.30 2024 update

Hello to you gardeners, urban homesteaders and frugal or sustainable folks :)

Got a small update today of garden and kitchen stuff~

I've got some armenian cucumber seed! Their drying right now and I gotta do a germination test before getting too excited- but still! 🥳 Once that's done I'll be planting some new ones in the garden and bagging some to share with friends and save soem for later.

Seed started some brocoli

And left side louffa. Running low on them now. Right side cabbage

Also seed started some other stuff

Theres a small golden melon I hear grows real sweet in winter. I got it on suggestion from a local grocer.

Patty pan, it's a summer variety but the seeds getting old so I'm just gonna see if it grows.

Cocozelle squash and golden yellow.

Direct seeded some carrots, radish and kale.

The sunchokes are staring to get a bit lush, here's hoping to see some blooms again soon.

As well the sweet potato started flushing colors, I'm hoping it's related to the heat and not a nutrient deficiency. Not enough leaves in my opinion to harvest yet, hoping to see more growth with weather cooling down.

Food wise,

Today I'm going to be working on making tortillas, because we want to have tacos this week. Tortillas have been on my learn to make list, so we're excited to try

I'm also going to be making some Chile sauce, egg salad and if time permits a pumpkin pie :) (and pumpkin fritters, a special suprise)

That's it for the update currently :)

I can't take more hits I'll disassociate from it I should face my shit I'm uncomfortable as it is I've got things to do That I still haven't gotten round to So I don't count on them And instead, I'm just a fugitive

I'm on the run I'm so mad at myself, I could choke the sun I feel the heat And it's burning up the soles of my feet

Out of sight, out of mind That's the way I wanna live But we all know the drill So instead, I'm just a fugitive

I'm on the run (I'm on the run) I'm so mad at myself, I could choke the sun I feel the heat (I feel the heat) And it's burning up the soles of my feet

I know these days are never easy I just keep on falling, free-falling as fast as I can I know the comedown's never easy I just keep on falling, free-falling to where I began

In the fall, the bumblebees all converge on the huge sunchoke “bush” that grows in our backyard.

The crazy swirly background was accomplished in camera using the bokeh filter below.

Simply cut out of thin cardboard, the small holes act in the same way as the single hole in a regular bokeh filter would except that the multiple variously shaped bokeh it produces all overlap. The larger hole at the bottom provides a bokeh free area to shoot through. It is held in place by a cheap Cokin filter holder knockoff. Adjusting the filter up and down and rotating the filter holder gives some control over the position and amount of swirliness achieved.

Poste-processed with Affinity Photo v2, with the bumblebee and some of the flowers sharpened using Topaz Sharpen AI.

November 2, 2024

October came and went like a lightening bolt, my apologies it's been a bit since I posted, things have gotten a bit crazy this way with some personal things. With luck now the October shuffles just about done and the November tubslide will be a bit gentler.

Onto some urban homesteading and otherwise~

I'm going to have to restart my fall seeds. Unfortunately, there was a bit of a situation which killed off my seed table and started plants entirely. For the most part, it's sorted, but I'll have to begin my fall and winter crops from scratch and hope there's time for em to grow. Otherwise I'll need to figure some other crops instead. Probably more chicken food or flowers/peas instead.

Thankfully, the already established in ground crops were okay for the most part. Some a bit stressed or stunted from lack of consistent watering.

Sweet potato has already started flowering now, i really didn't get any greenery from it so far (mayby a pound), so I'm just gonna let it keep going for now. When it msotly dies back I'll dig them out.

The sunchoke has now begun flowering, it's rather different than the last flowering I thought it did. Mayby a regular sunflower got mixed in? I did plant them around the time the regular sunflowers started sprouting.

I'm pretty excited to try the Tubers out, if there's enough for a decent harvest. Otherwise I'm taking them and spreading to another bit of the garden for fill in and propogation.

I can confirm, we do have a rooster. His name is Heihei. He's not gone through full second molt, but we've seen his curly feather, now hear his crowing and have caught him doing what roosters do lol.

Looks like I may get to try out hatching after all :)

No new layers so far, but hoping soon :)

Spotted this feather, which i believe belongs to one of the local woodpeckers. (I didn't take it, not allowed where I live)

Also have started spotting hummingbirds more locally and regularly. The parrots have returned again, though they aren't currently visiting us (no sunflowers yet ) and I think we've had a few female cardinals visit the lambs quarter plant I'm letting go to seed. Haven't noticed much in new bug species.

I got to learn how to change tires on a dolly this month. It was quite a bit easier than expected, cost less than $30 and gave new life to a good tool.

Thats it for now, ive got some chores to do and hopefully some time to get garden set up a bit :) new photos and updates coming ASAP!

🌱🍊Happy Urban homesteading🍊🌱
