Nice! They can be challenging with stalk bores and downy mildew
Time for a punkin chunkin!
Good looking mellon, glad you got some after all that work
Awesome. I don’t recognize stump’s… honey mushroom? Never strayed that far afield in what I felt comfortable IDing myself
I should have looked closer, I thought they were chickens
Not sure now, ill check
Yo @StumpNocker
Thats a jack-o-lantern mushroom i think and not edible. It might be a honey mushroom as suggested, but its hard to say without holding it and the book at the same te.
Well, its edible i suppose, but it is poisonous to people.
DO NOT EAT THAT ONE
I went mushroom harvesting one time in that late 80s. We’re out there at 05:30 before it got daylight. We went to a cow pasture and found these little mushrooms with these little purple ring around them.
Hahaha

You can boil those and drink the juice, or so Ive heard.
They used to say at the rainbow gathering “please feel free to spike the tea”
No wonder there are big gaps in the 80’s I cant recall

I tried some reefer once, but too scared to drink the tea. We had to baby sit a high school friend and it has scared me for life on trying shrooms. If they ever legalize reefer I think I’ll get some edibles, smoking makes me cough.
58° in Greenville this morning.
Had a couple appointments at the VA in Charleston today.
They out there given away veggies.
I ain’t shy I got me a sack full.
some big ass carrots.
Real pretty cucumbers.
Usually keep a bowl full in the refrigerator with Italian dressing.

Sorry I missed that one ! I was there yesterday Day old bread. But I have appointments there Friday.
I’m jealous of a bushel in the freezer. Great job, never tried peanuts.
Those look great.
How long will they keep frozen?
Freeze them in water and they’ll last until next summer. Take them out, boil them on the stove until hot and they taste just as fresh as the day they went in. Its the way dad did it and I actually prefer them that way.
EF, I used to blanch and freeze. Now I boil till done. Put in bags and freeze. They’ll make it a year, but in my experience if they make it 8 months they start getting a little “grainy”. I did a few gallon bags and the rest quart. I’ll grab a bag frozen and put in the cooler when fishing/boating. Throw it up on the console and let it thaw and eat em. I even enjoy them when they are half frozen. Like a little salty peanut popsicle.
23, after your lime addition and knowing that area, I’d imagine you could grow them pretty well, except for your deer population. But remember for you the labor involved for keeping them weed free might not be worth it. Just swing by Benton’s and I believe it is $80 for a bushel of green Peanuts. They told me they would have them until October. Not sure what a bushel boiled is. A 1/2 peck of boiled is $18.00
If you do decide to grow them, when you first start seeing the little yellow flowers dust them down good with Land plaster.
