🌱 Sadly, one of our two very old (9+ years!) Chickens, Bluebell, passed today. Found her in the upstairs of the coop. She lived a wonderfully pampered life. The first pic was from a heat wave just over a month ago when we fed her frozen corn. And the other is from a sunny day last January. #pdx

Pumpkin so thick, April carved his face with a 1/2" drill bit. 🎃

🌱 Day 121 of Popcorn Progress. Well, Progress will be a bit boring for the next 4 to 6 weeks as the kernels dry on the cobs. Temporary resting place amongst April's art supplies. So, occasional garden pics for 4 to 6 weeks. Here are two Dark Knight Pumpkins from the garden. #zone9A #pdx

🌱 Day 120 of Popcorn Progress. Harvest Day! Not a ton of ears. Trial and error having not grown Popcorn since I was a young kid (and not paying attention back then). Probably wider spacing and two more rows next year. Beautiful ears, though. Now 4 to 6 weeks of drying in the house. #zone9A #pdx

Shout out to Portland Street Response! If they were not around, our last option this evening would have had to be incredibly ill-equipped police dealing with a person having a crisis on our street. I ❤️ PSR!!!! #pdx

🌱 Night 119 of Popcorn Progress. Another night time shot. Last one of ears on the stalks. Shift in weather coming starting tomorrow evening. So I'm harvesting the ears from the stalks tomorrow when I get home from work. Great luck with the weather that I was able to wait until Day 120. #zone9A #pdx

A preview of the late season, farmers market berries pavlova I'm making for my family gathering this evening. The meringue before baking.

🌱 Day 114 of Popcorn Progress. Stalks and ears are drying out appropriately. No rain in the weather forecast for the next week plus and no critters getting after them so going to be patient and wait. Check out my reply below for our monster tomato harvest today. #zone9A #pdx

Daily bunny no.3062 is up a creek without a paddle

🌱 Day 113 of Popcorn Progress. Pumpkins with Popcorn in the background. Neptune says the Dakota Black Popcorn is just about ready. And, I tipped the folks at Meta Pizza ) metapizzapdx.com?utm_source=g... ) with some Garden Goodies. #zone9A #pdx

🌱 Day 101 of Popcorn Progress. It's been since I was a little kid that there has been Popcorn in my family's garden. So been learning more about harvesting this weekend. The ears are supposed to be papery dry with no green when ready. From today's pic, I need to be patient. #zone9A #pdx
