I have a couple of Mahonia nervosa waiting to be planted. Very excited! Also thimbleberry, red flowering currant, salal, and lingonberry. Plus we took some evergreen huckleberry from a campsite we were at recently (where they were very abundant), but I don't think they made it.

I was going through some old pictures, and here's one from a hike on Table Mountain. The king proteas were in bloom.

Awesome! Was just chatting with my brother and his wife who are now living near the woods in Poland, and they've been gathering bilberries too. Apparently they're the indigenous European blueberry, vs the North American varieties that are commercially produced.

If it were this side of the Atlantic, I'd suspect salmonberry. It's definitely Rubus of some sort. Maybe cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus)?

MEIN RAVEN posted:You know, we were too tired to do an autopsy. We got them REALLY ripe this year actually, in June. I think we didn't add enough sugar and it just tasted like bad gritty vodka, none of the smoothness and such. I do wonder too if the walnuts maybe rotted in the liquor, as they were really ashy when we pulled them out. Container was a mason jar with a secure lid, has worked in the past. Stuck them in a cool dark place, but we don't have AC here in the great northwest so....who knows. We'll revisit next year and try again. We have SO MANY of them in the area. For what it's worth, nothing lives in 80-proof liquor (assuming that's what you were using). But I guess the nuts could have rotted before the ethanol had a chance to properly soak into them? Is there a reason not to coarse chop/grind the nuts?

Just watch out for worms. As I understand, the thing with walnuts is that they get infested if the groundfall isn't cleared away. As in, if they're wormy, you could clear up the groundfall and after a year or two they'd be good.

In the nuts. But check them before you get too sad about it! They might be fine!

Horseradish? Cauliflower? It's kinda hard to tell, but I think I see one root half out the ground that looks horseradish-like.

CommonShore posted:Looks to me like it could be canola I guess I think of canola leaves as being smaller, but that would be after it "bolts". I don't think I've actually seen it earlier in the season. So yeah, could be. I'd guess cauliflower would be transplanted as seedlings to get more even spacing than that.

Scarodactyl posted:It's brassicas all the way down. Yeah horseradish too. Tias posted:Well in Denmark we grow a great deal of raps, the local european canola - but are we not too late in the year for it to be in the start of its life cycle? Was going to ask - would probably need to be southern hemisphere to be canola. Horseradish makes more sense to me - looks pretty similar leaf-wise to canola, and now might be more like harvest time.
