Photos from in and around Sage’s Acre
The candidates for this year's 20th anniversary batch of slow fermented hot sauce include a super-sized batch of my Thai/Cayenne cross and a Honduran pepper called "culebra negra" (black snake).
These are Corno di Toro sweet peppers I've been breeding to a larger size so I can stuff and grill them as well as fry. Sweet and crunchy, I've always got plenty of seed at the end of the season. DM me if you'd like some.
Ever meet two siblings that look nothing alike, but if you sort of squint, you can see how each sort of looks like their parents? Check these two squash. Both from seeds of the same yellow straightneck squash.
The tomatoes are starting to ripen. In the photo, clockwise from top left, it's Carbon, Brandywine and Roma. Lots of saucing and canning is in our future.
The fireworks are cancelled, but that hasn't stopped the water hyacinths from putting on a display of their own. Happy Independence Day, America. Let's BBQ something!
Whatever kind of tomato this is, it's not a yellow pear like the note I wrote myself said (drinking and gardening is harder than it looks). I must have crossbred something. Anyone have an idea who the parents of these lobey tomatoes might be?
This Forex pole bean in flower made the gray skies of "June gloom" a little brighter.
It's official. I've completely lost control of the keyhole garden.
These beauties are Allure, a bicolor organic synergistic sweet corn that can only be described as the purest, sweetest form of corn decadence.
An aeonium in the new succulent garden I'm creating. The light through the yucca tree hit it in just such a way to bring together the colors and symmetry in an almost hypnotic display.
