2025 Garden!

[JShane]

One of my beehives is working hard this year when they aren’t chasing me. I had put a fourth box on the hive a while ago and they hadn’t touched it. Check two weeks ago had bees in it but no work. I checked last week, a week later, and all the frames had been built and we full of a light honey. Frames weren’t capped so I left the box alone.

I had a very strong intuition that it might be clover honey. My yard has a white frost on it right now with thousands of bees working the clover.

I checked the bees today and the frames were full and capped on the big hive. I decided to take the box.

It is a very light, mild honey. I assume it’s clover but no honey is pure. I’m not sure it’s as good as the “normal” honey we gather but it’s interesting.

I’ll give some jars to my neighbors to try to keep them happy with my shenanigans.

Our neighbor has a neighborhood raspberry patch and I heard they were ready so I went and grabbed a bit before the neighborhood girl bike gang pillaged them.

Finally have beans blooming, peas, cucumbers too. Zucchini are doing their thing don't know how much longer I'll keep them. Corn finally taking off and growing.
Raspberries are growing and a couple bushes blooming. I figure next year they'll really grow and produce. I lost over half of them after the transplant. But they are getting a lot more water and the other half isn't cussing them when he had to mow around them in the yard.

well my garden sucks this year. I thought my prickly pear cactus was dead but it might do ok after all.

Morning pick before work - red and black raspberries, last of the strawberries, blueberries and peas. . I only picked half the peas. We have another 10ish artichokes ready too. Artichokes and elk steaks sometime in the near future.

Two pineapples and a mango today .
This is our second mango from a tree we planted and it’s fantastic.
I don’t normally like mangos , it’s the wife’s thing , but these are excellent!

Tree/vine ripened fruit makes such a difference, vs the stuff in the supermarket picked green. Pineapples look awesome.

The garden has been seriously neglected the last week with the new baby. Threw away a bunch of tomatoes that were cracked or otherwise damaged and still had a bunch. Finally harvested some spaghetti squash.
