Learned this evening that my kids had forgotten I used to try to make them fun lunches. We were watching something where one of the chefs opened a really pretty bento box. My son said ‘I wish we’d had that‘. 💀

I’ve looked at the green bean plants everyday. Everyday I have missed the beans. Look how many there are!

CORN. STOP. What if are you doing? There’s nothing to tassel. There’s like one silk in the entire patch. 🤦🌽

So pretty.

More lemon blossoms!!! Maybe I just stick to indoor plants? I mean they’re not fruiting but they smell amazing.

Mini mators! #Garden #Tomatoes #IveTurnedOnAFilterIDon’tKnowHowToTurnOff #WontStopMe

My butternut squashes are the only things really thriving in my garden. I can see disease creeping through my tomatoes. I don’t know how to photograph them without it looking slightly obscene.

These #tomatoes were gifted to my #garden, I just knew they were #heirloom. Today we learned they’re purple! #Purple and huge!!! Huge I tell you!! It it weird they’re only growing at the very bottom of the plant?

The garden is FINALLY producing! It‘s so easy, I don’t know why everyone doesn’t do it. It only took 5 months, $250 (every year for 5 years), 3 full grown women, hours in the heat, bug battles every day, sleepless nights, & a dissertation worth of research. So relaxing. #Garden #produce #Abundance

Spotted a deer.

Giant strawberry. I’ve driven past this on the way to the beach my whole life. Literally for as long as I can remember. I always wanted to stop, and finally did. Only took almost 40 years.. #SmallWins #Berry #Architecture #Roadside #NC

Took the prettiest wave picture of my entire life by accident.

I don’t believe Blanch will survive the heat wave. I’ll be shocked if any of my plants do. 😭

Halfway to boiling. (FIFA rules for the ad in the middle- no freebies).

I’m going to be devastated when something happens to her and her fuzzy little children. I had no idea watermelons started out fuzzy?

I thought I couldn’t grow okra. That it was one of the plants that alluded me. But look! It’s sprouted! That’s a lot further than I’ve ever gotten before. 🌕🚀 At least I’m pretty sure it’s okra? Burgundy okra.

I’ve named this Butternut squash vine- Nanette. Everyone say ‘Hi Nanette!’.

Look how much bigger she got overnight. Holy cow.

It’s a pumpkin Charlie Brown!!!!!

It’s a miracle! 😁 We’re going to have pilgrims from all over coming to see it, ruining the yard. ☹️ After an informal survey, I present ……The neighborhood’s only ripening tomato. 🍅

I take back almost all my complaining and frustration. Look at this tiny, perfect perfection of a mini watermelon.

Potato harvest (from 2 plants!). I’m only two generations removed from share croppers. It appears the farming gene has completely missed me. Aren’t potatoes supposed to be easy to grow? Famine food? We would not survive the winter. #Garden #StillFun #OneExpensiveTater

Sun chokes are blooming!

Cucumber growing in the middle of the yard.

He has a hat.

I’ve been crocheting for years 🤣🥹I just make circles lol. I don’t know how to follow a pattern.

My daughter got a bunch of wobbles for Christmas. She’s cleaning out her room and found this one. She asked me to make it. It’s not going great. it looks like I very quickly went from a double to a single stitch.

Noooooooooooooooo #SquashBugs #OnTheFlowers #LeaveBritanyAlone #GardenWoes

My garden looks green & healthy & full. But it’s not really making anything. I’ve had 4/5 zucchini from 6 plants, & now none of them have any coming in. No signs of bugs/leaves are healthy. This buttercup squash is growing a 1000 vines, but no real fruit. My whole #garden is like this.

I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong with my tomatoes and peppers. They’re all different kinds. Roma, cherry, big boy, and heirlooms. I have them in three different spots in my yard and not one of them will ripen. It’s like they’ve been stalled for weeks. #GardenWoes #Tomatoes #UnHarvest
