Additional squash photo because I forgot alt text on the last one 🤦🏻‍♀️ #Growing #BlueskyArtShow

Line of yellow squash and zucchini planted in a row with a drip irrigation line against a green fence panel trellis.

Cucumbers doing their summer thing! #growing #BlueSkyArtShow #VictoryGarden

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· 26d

One of my sunflowers collapsed onto the other so I had to saw him down this morning. Damn thing didn’t fit in the compost corral. They’re like 15-16ft each 😂 #sunflowers #victorygarden #WesternNC

Two sunflower plants about 16’ tall. The left plant collapsed onto the right. Lower beds are full of cherry tomatoes and flowers!

Remembered to snap a photo walking in the tea garden last night! Spent all morning wrangling the blackberry vines back into their arch this morning so hopefully an update soon ☺️

My little tea garden at dusk.
Barrel of petunias in the foreground. Raised bed garden of blackberry trellis and strawberries at the far end. Lavender, salvia, various mints below the berry canes.

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· Jul 9

It’s just sooo many cherry tomatoes 😂

One row of cherry tomatoes plants that are producing like at least a gallon bucket a week 😅

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· Jul 9

Came across this one this morning 😂

Miss Cleo talked to Mitch McConnell also today for about 20 minutes 😂

It’s nice to start to see some substantial #growth. Sometimes my vision seems obtuse, but I’m starting to see it! #BlueSkyArtShow #VictoryGarden #WesternNC

Garden update!
Bright marigolds and multiple colors of cosmos are starting to fill in, so it’s not just vegetables! I am so ready for flowers.
Oh man I’m not typing out all the plants again, it’s been a long day. See garden thread and each bed has a breakdown.
So.
Mi jardin. Todos Los vegetales. Ahora con floras.

Now we’re talking 🙌 #VictoryGarden #WesternNC #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

Garden filling in after some good rains this week 🙌
Foremost galvanized bed contains: cilantro, heirloom slicing tomatoes x 4 and like 11 bell peppers and hella basil.
Second bed from front: spaghetti squash that might birth a Flying Spaghetti Monster if I’m not real careful 😅 also cucumbers, yellow and patty pan squash. Oh and two watermelon!
Background beds described in second photo of that side!

Foreground oval garden bed: butternut squash with sunflower.
Cedar bed has zuchini (and sedum but that’s another story 😅)
Middle galvanized: zuchini monster in the end with marigolds, sunflowers and additional mutant spaghetti squash. Back bed is cherry tomatoes, hot peppers and picking cukes!

Everything is getting massive, and I’ve got fruit forming on almost everything!

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 28

Well shit, since @jcsalterego.bsky.social plans to buy all of the eggs in the region I guess I’m making wings 😂

Homemade chicken wings. I finally have a pretty bangin home wing recipe for the oven. Brine em, start em low to render, hit em with some baking powder, finish em high!

I don’t usually cross post from ither places but the cybertits made it necessary. #MuskMustFall

A photorealistic Elon musk telling a little boy “society needs billionaires to keep people from starving”. The boy says he is starving and asks for help. Elon, in typically Elon fashion, responds: “fuck you.”

You guys....we made it all up. ALL of it.

NBC news photo of the White House UFC cage monstrosity being built.

Well I guess we understand the miller discourse better now 😂 This is a new beer can for this summer 😳

My friend posted his beer on fb and commented “this beer might be a parody of itself” he is a PHd climate guy who’s not on bluesky and probably hasn’t seen the Atlantic article. God this is so funny to me.

New beer can reads “Real American Beer” as most prominent branding 😂😂😂😂

Ayyyy, progress! #radishes #victorygarden

A progression of radishes. The first one is the sad little guy from the above pic, the two on the right are actual full size, healthy radishes I pulled out this morning!

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 25

I can’t take pics from the old angle to update on this side because the spaghetti squash in the end of that bed are now 3’ tall 😂 the cucumbers coming up nicely and yellow squash starting to fruit 🙌 #VictoryGarden #RainyDays #VegetableGarden #GrowWithMe

Raised bed garden progress- pumpkins and sunflowers in the oval bed, broccoli, carrots and cauliflower in the cedar bed, 12’ galvanized bed of spaghetti squash on left, cucumbers in the middle and yellow/pattypan squash to the right! Nasturtiums should fill in the flower boxes soon! The 12’ bed behind it in the background is full of heirloom tomatoes and peppers 😊

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 21

I genuinely had no appreciation for how large spaghetti squash leaves would get, so fast 😳 #VictoryGarden #Gardening #wintersquash #vegetablegarden

Big ole honking spag. Squash leaves climbing out the end of its galvanized bed. The bed is two feet wide for scale 😂

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 21

At this point there is a decent chance someone is punking me 😅 I have been thinning squash for 3 weeks. All evidence to the contrary. I didn’t even plant this many seeds 🤨 #VictoryGarden #Gardening #WesternNC #GrowWithMe #FarmersMarket #ThePeoplesMarket

So many giant, glorious squash bois in a galvanized raised bed.

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 20

So many berries.

Blackberry canes starting to put out real volumes of fruit!

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 20

We officially have squash. So that’s exciting. #VictoryGarden #GrowWithMe #SummerSquash #Gardening

Yellow squash with flowers/fruit forming in a mulched bed against green fence trellis. Marigolds bloom brightly in the background

If you missed this story this week, please enjoy. I honestly believe Melania is the better troll of the two of them. She made a white house honeypot. And then the bees attacked him. 👩‍🍳 😘 #honeypot

Trump swats away a "viscous bee." Why is he trying to harm one of Melania's White House bees?

Good #Morning from the garden #BlueskyArtShow

Multilayered terra cotta fountain overlooking a galvanized raised bed garden. The fountain trickles lazily in the bright blue Appalachia morning. The bees will arrive shortly ☺️

These executives believe they are bulletproof. They are rapidly realizing that WE the people, make them what they are. These men are NOTHING behind their brands. Make them all toxic. #DestroyTheBrand #DestroyTheMan #MuskMustFall #BanishBezos #DumpTrump #TheAristocrats Catch me at Q3 earnings ✌️

Man this half dead clearance #scabiosa has now made enough babies to fill four layers of this stand in two years! Worth the effort for sure! #GrowWithMe #Bloomscrolling #VictoryGarden #ClearanceClout

Three tier galvanized planter box with strawberry plants and large purple whirlygig scabiosa flower darlings everywhere 🤩

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 12

A.) your garden is magical! B.) my dog does exactly this in the garden when I take pics too 😂

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 12

Okay so I ALMOST know how to grow radishes 😅 #GardenSky #VictoryGarden #GrowWithMe

The teeny tiniest mini-dollhouse carrot looking radish you have ever seen. Fucker had a beautiful top and looked ripe for the picking, alas.

Blackberries are actually making berries 🤩 #VictoryGarden #GrowWithMe #GardenSky

Thornless blackberry vines poking through green fence trellis. The flowers have just started to turn to berries and seem to have been pollinated adequately 👊

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· May 9

Update on the cucumber bed 🤩 #GrowWithMe #Gardening #WesternNC

12’ galvanized raised bed filled with red mulch (it’s what we had 😅) foreground has sprawling spaghetti squash with big squashy leaves, both marigold flowers and dill are starting to grow up nicely, AND the cucumbers along the goat fence trellis should start climbing any day!

Courtney 🗝️@courtneykey· Apr 24

The thing about large scale gardening: very hard to appreciate in photographs until the big stuff fills in 😅😂 #WesternNC #VictoryGarden #GrowWithMe

View from cutting flower perennial beds: Bright purple salvia in the foreground
Mid ground: vegetable garden 12’ raised beds 3 rows on each side 😅
Background: woodshop nestled in front on the tree line.

Marigold and dill starting to fill at the end of the cucumber bed. (12’ galvanized bed with irrigation hose and goat fence trellis)
