Well, those garden aliens went from looking like white asparagus to these flowering bits. They popped up where all my peas were while the peas were dying off. I was very weirded out by them and started asking around as to what they might be. No one knew. All my friends, family, facebook connections. No one had answers. The mystery built up until I finally went to the local famers coop. I asked one of the guys there and he told me that it is an, "orchidea spontanea" Spontaneous Orchid. Weird. Doesn't look like any orchid I have ever seen. Ah well! Mystery solved. I tried searching info on how these orchids occur but there really isn't much out there. The only things I am finding is that they are typical in Tuscany and some very rare species can be found.
Back to intentional growth! My first batch o potato!
...and Stella.
The growing pepper.
Zucchini almost ready.
Round zucchini? I have no idea.
I did something kinda bad. I mixed up all my zucchini, squash, pumpkins..anything that has that sort of look to it when planting. So, I really didn't know what was going to come up. Here is an example. And strangely...I don't remember ever buying and saving seeds from something like this.
These yellow guys have been growing larger and getting bumpy. Does that mean they have a problem?
My first Carrot. Of course. A dancing carrot.
I <3 my garden.
