Watch out, slugs! Got crushed egg shells, diatomaceous earth, beer, and (hopefully 🤞) going to build a fortress around the brassica seedlings… bring it on, you slimy bastards! #slugs #snails #eggshells #diatomaceousearth #beertraps #Garden

Cardboard mulching in an attempt to keep the borage forest under control, and a little lasagna gardening (to be followed by manure, straw, and then hoop tunnels). #Garden

Summer treasures in the #polytunnel. Quick harvest before the storm. Not bad for a 4th of october! The precious and delicate "fior di zucca" will make delicious fritters, together with the lettuce and cucumbers, that's dinner. The freshest healthiest yummiest dinner.

The only nudity is these naked-seeded pumpkins! I really love this new variety, 'Little Green Seed'. I grew it as part of a breeding effort to stabilise its genetics. If you want to get involved next year, here's the conversation: https://www.theeasygarden.com/threads/naked-seeded-pumpkin-project.23866/

The seeds are small and fat, just like grocery store pepitas, and don't require any hulling. We got 2.6 kg from four plants!

Naked-seeded pumpkin project

A.k.a. hull-less. The green ready-to-eat seeds are often sold in the U.S. as pepitas. There are several commercial hull-less varieties & several heirlooms, most are the "Styrian" type. Those pumpkins generally have dark green seeds in large, mostly empty seed cavities. Has anyone here ever grown...
