Pinging the List.
I went for what may be the last motorcycle ride of the season this afternoon. It was so windy it almost kncked me over at a red light, and it was a struggle to maintain control. PLUS it was c-c-cold. Brrrrr....
Time to set up the ol’ gal for hibernation.

I have a strange request for the ping list: Does anyone still have bindweed actively growing?
I need some leaves, from the Convolvulus arvensis species. It has been shown to have strong anti-tumor properties. There are other forms of bindweed, but this is the medicinal one. Here’s a page that shows how to tell which is which: http://oregonstate.edu/dept/nursery-weeds/feature_articles/vines/vine_weeds.html
Back in February, my cat, who is the sweetest cuddliest kitty in the world, was diagnosed with lymphoma. The vet gave her 1-3 months to live. I’ve been experimenting with different herbal treatments, and they definitely help her feel better, but the tumors keep growing. I’m hoping this might be the missing ingredient. I only came across the study a few days ago, and the bindweed on my land has gone dormant. I couldn’t find a single trace of it!
If anyone has any still growing, please PM me!
Miracle - thought I’d lost my broccoli, but as weather is turning colder, the cabbage worms are gone. Lots of damage, but they’re coming back. I might even get a few florets.
Need some help: I am pulling up weed barriers (useless) and want to fertilize, put weed killer and pesticide down. What order and when??
Not much going on here. Had to cover up the planters one night. The temperatures have risen back to the mid-40’s to 60’s range, Pansies producing nicely. Happy Thanksgiving!
Got to decide whether to pick my green tomatoes on my big plants tomorrow. One news source gives a freeze warning and the rest still it’s high 30’s. Ugh.
I can fit all my pots except the 2 biggest best mater producers in the house and I’ve got em all cleaned up ready to go in.
