Looks like I grew a purple jalapeno plant, how cool is that!! This is the 1st one. ☺️ #patiogardener

A fully ripe purple pepper, possibly jalapeno.

I'm still on the fence with the Saucy Mary tomatoes. They have a nice mild taste, low acid but not bland. It gave me kiwi vibes but that could be the green flesh. 🤔🤷🏾‍♀️ Oh & before me shoved a Roma tomato in a empty pot & now I have instant transplants. #patiogardener #miniharvest

A green pepper & a mini harvest of tomatoes varieties some still blushing (Saucy Mary, Tiny Tim, Orange Hat & Roma).

I wanna be upset about my lack of harvest this yr but if I'm honest I haven't been as good about the garden as I should. 2 much outside noise from the world clouding my mind. Anyways the tomatoes said "bitch here I am". 😏 #patiogardener

My 1st tomatoes!! 🥳 Not sure what variety they are but I'm keeping some of the seeds to use for my 2nd plants of the season. 😁

This is what I came up with. Using a grid I can keep track on my phone, tablet or laptop in a spreadsheet. 😁

Seed starting trays filled with coco coir with vertical letters of the alphabet on the right side & horizontal numbers 1-4 on their tops under the pinkish glow of grow lights.

The patio eggplant is putting out soooo many flowers. 🥰

My 1st chili pepper. 🥹 #patiogardener

Ro@mtlqwn· Jun 19

So I think these are saucy Mary tomatoes but I'm not 100% sure. 😬🤦🏾‍♀️ #patiogardener

Ro@mtlqwn· Jun 5

My 1st tomatoes of the season. 🥹 The sun bleached the ink off the name tags so I have no idea the variety but I'll enjoy it just the same. #patiogarden

I'm sick of all this shit going on.

This #JonnyJump-upViola coloration is so pretty. I hope I can get seeds from it so I can grow more just like it. 🥰 #patiogarden

I know we're supposed to direct sow beans & peas but I tend to forget about watering them. With that being said I started some & in cells & it seems to be working out. ☺️ #patiogarden #growingbeansandpeas #seedstarting

Ran out real quick to get the pic when I took things out of the greenhouse to get some of Mother Earth's free water. ☺️

Blooming petite knock-off red roses with various pots & yellow primrose blooms in the background out of focus.

*squealing* @ajillionreasons.blacksky.app sent me seed mail. 😁 Some of my flower seeds didn't sprout, guess it was a sign that I needed to have space for this abundance of garden love. 🥹

The herbs seedlings transitioned well outdoors. Just waiting for them to get bigger before I put them in their spots. I have to get some starter pots for the extras because I've decided I don't want to cut slits in solo cups this yr. 😒

This is too real 😭

Noooooo

I'm lazing around the house & just realized my grand needs a new item for May 4th. When he was a baby I made him a bibs, he's almost a preschooler now so I'm thinking a stormtrooper button up. 🤔

Drop an album that was important to you when you were 19.

Slayer 'Seasons in the Abyss' album cover from 1990. It has depictions of skeletons in doorways, tombstones with falling crosses (some upside down) & skulls.

Welp looks like someone is learning the hard way which sucks in the economy. A ticket & maybe higher car insurance. 😬🤦🏾‍♀️

Text above an image of a car windshield cracked almost broken from snow and/or ice smashing into it.

"Leaving that snow and ice on your car while driving? Think again!

If it decides to take flight and land on another vehicle, you could be charged with failure to secure a load. (Also, if you get into an accident and your view is obstructed by snow or ice, you could be held liable!)

Ask our captain who met one of these "flying ice balls"!"

Stay off them ppl's roads until conditions have improved. Y'all putting everyone in danger & wasting resources because you can't sit still. 🤬🤬

Ribbing is complete & I'll work on the body of the hat using my tunisan crochet hook tomorrow. My hands are very tired but not bad progress on my 1st day back hooking. The band is 60 cm long or 23.5 inches.

Green, tan, brown & black acrylic yarn crocheted into ribbing for a hat band.

Ro@mtlqwn· Nov 20

After some trial & error with the instructions because they were for a different model. 🙄 Anyway…I now have some very lovely cakes of yarn. It's only a few skeins of acrylic but I'm happy. Some have a more pronounced comb but again today's my 1st day using the machine. ☺️
