I downloaded this Sunday thinking to use the bitmoji here. Thought better of it because it is very admirable to grow "over 20" varieties of just anything. You are so much rising above the common, fair-weather gardener, Branching Out 🎖️. Admiration of an accomplishment is a wow! But now, you are...

Quite a change in the weather, the recent 2 days. With all the clouds, the thermometer never climbed above 70°f (21°C) degrees on Monday. We didn't see the sun for the entire day and there wasn't much sunlight nor much more warmth, yesterday. By afternoon, we had a thunderstorm! Boom! The...

@akroberts 's picture of Whiner made me think of this :D.

Cabbage rolls –– with DW's homemade salsa sauce, Yay! The Tiara cabbage is so quick. The rolls have to be small because the leaves & heads are small. Developing that way results in a very early cabbage variety. Next, the roots and stem above ground will develop more heads and with some thinning...

I think of "goatsbeard" when Bay' mentions that weed. That's another name for salsify but, from the way salsify grows around here, it probably doesn't like locations where it has tons of rain. Well, maybe it might –– what do I know? I have trouble imagining how or why people forage for salsify...

At a bustling construction site, a young worker couldn’t stop bragging about his strength, claiming he could outdo anyone. His favorite target was one of the older workers, constantly poking fun at him. After a while, the older man had enough. He turned to the young braggart and said, “Why...

Things are going okay here. On the herbal tea front, the neighborhood Tortoise Shell Cat has been beating up one of the catnip plants I transplanted. I think that it has just about had it but I will put some rocks around it and see if the roots survive and send up new growth. The other...

I have no experience with poison ivy. Poison oak is the western torment if one gets into it. And yet, I seemed to have moved far enuf inland/north(?) that I don't find it ... Calamine lotion certainly came to be what we used in other climes. Do you think an antihistamine cream (benadryl)...

Kai Lan was used with broccoli to develop the broccolini hybrid but I am not familiar with that veggie. Brassica oleracea cousins but that is a varied group. You will probably find Kai Lan in Asian stores but that availability seems somewhat recent in this area. Our experience with it has taught...

Kai Lan. Previous basket, pole beans. And, now a steady supply of small tomatoes. The 2nd and 3rd Muncher cucumbers ⬆️. There was an earlier zucchini but I don’t know what happened to it … :)

Peanut butter, raisins and banana sandwich with sliced honeydew melon on the side, oolong – for breakfast . Heat in the forecast so I will need hydration before starting the mower after I give the neighbors time to sleep late. Laundry Day!

At the least, @Marie2020 , it is taxing. You are witnessing my therapy — reading comics. Equal time, for sure. I will be making myself a 🥪 shortly :). Take Good Care! Steve
