I grew some silly carrots

Collage night. Had a loose idea of past, present future in my mind, been thinking about time agin lately.

A collage of images including three women dancing, each standing on a globe, surrounded by lush vegetation and water, planets and space blobs in the sky. Yellow daisies are falling from a large brown planet.

This one is my new fav palette. Nothing defeats shirley poppies (or my gardens)

All from my garden! Lillies, shirley poppies, hydrangeas, red currants, zinnias, cosmos, phlox, goldenrod, barnet, and garlic scapes. The palette is oranges with pops of yellow, blue, violet and magenta, and just a few boops of red. Also as a joke to myself I change metadata on my pics because yes I did take this photo in Montejo de Tiermes at 6:56am in the year of our lord 2103 wdym

Finger update because that's what's important right now: antibiotics killed the infection (and my gut biome nbd) and I'm finally band-aid free, though it's still very sensitive. A thick layer of skin came off because everything underneath HAD ROTTED. Staph infections are terrifying

My finger - the area near the nail is healing.

Still playing with light, it's neat how it can change the vibe from painterly to spatial. So much fun. My gardens grew everything, and I found the poor deceased bumble bee in my laundry room.

Getting my head in the flower game again and my head is like "thank god this is way better than writing an essay every time we get pissed off about something"

An arrangement of fancy tulips, daffodils, bleeding heart and solomon's seal, with a backlit white sheer backdrop, sitting on a small wooden table.

This is my life right now and I am 1000% hyperventilating about it

A kitchen sink and white cabinets with dark wood countertops, buckets of lush and colourful spring flowers, mostly tulips, are in buckets on the floor and on tables.

They are beautiful, but don't you dare forget about your desk job

Flower cleanse for yr timeline

A large flower arrangement of multicoloured tulips and other varieties, set on a small wooden table in a kitchen, with me, a woman, in the background leaning on the counter.

Gardened all morning and collaged all afternoon. Happy with how this one came together.

A collage including a woman in a sun dress with her skirt hiked up over her butt, a large white parachute, two birds flying straight up, hammerhead sharks swimming in the blue sky, a large hoot in a heeled shoe, canyonesque mountains, a swan swimming on a dark walkway, and a bunch of other small details that are too hard to describe.

First colour in the garden first arrangement of the season, wahoo

A flower arrangement with white/yellow daffodils, tiny yellow/brown tulips, squill, hyacinth, muscari, and dwarf iris. They're in a short green glass vase on a brown wooden table. I'm out of focus in the background.

I'd been rifling through themes of time again, and mentioned phenomenology as a new theme I was drawn to She went, "oh! Like this?" and pulled this book OUT OF HER JACKET POCKET. She'd bought the book 4 YEARS AGO, hadn't read it yet, and just happened to grab it that day for breakroom reading

A small book titled "Phenomenology" by Chad Engelland, of the MIT Press Essential Knowledge Series. Book is matte black with a red band at the bottom and a negative space black square with four red circles under each corner.

New collage, cut paper

A collage of images including pink starry/space skies, a disco ball in the sky, a car-plane, campanula and daisies, a family of crash-test dummies, a wisteria tree, grassy hills, water and two legs at the bottom.

New kitchen garden! No-till baybeee. Getting more patient with befuddled neighbours - I started a whole acre this way once, and in my last place I replaced the entire lawn with perennials. This is one of four large new beds I'm building for vegetables, fruits and flowers.

A pile of soil half spread over an area that is covered with paper and cardboard. It is in front of a small old barn/shed, and behind a paved driveway. A yellow rake is leaning on the shed and a gouty tree is at the back corner of the bed.

A tidy new garden bed bordered by log pieces in front of a small old barn/shed, and next to a paved driveway. A gouty tree is at the corner of the bed. There is brown/green grass in the foreground and mostly cloudy skies with a bit of blue.

*In sicko* Yes... ha ha ha... YES!

Cutest thing about poppies is they're like goldfish in that they grow to the size of their habitat (within limits obvs), so if you start them too early indoors like I always do you end up with the teensiest little flower garden

Some tiny shirley poppies growing out of a starter soil roll. They are fluffy in colours of mauve, peachy pink and blush pink.

Saraghargh@saraghargh· Apr 10

Cutest mouse house in my garden aaaaaa!! The mouse put the door right by the sign eeeee I die

A small mound of dead leaves and grass with a little entry hole, built at the base of a dormant hibiscus plant. Next to the hole is the hibiscus plant tag.

This is what I'd yearn to become if I was an AI

An image of Nintendo's Toad: wearing a white and red-spotted round hat, blue vest, brown shoes, and a large diaper-like piece of clothing for pants. Black beady eyes, big smile, no nose. Waving as if to say "hi".

New paper collage, I found a butt

A collage of images, clockwise from bottom left to bottom right: a bum peeking above a grass hill, behind it a buck mid-call, a small garden of echinacea and tall grasses, a pile of blob, a microscopic close up of mutated cells, two black holes, a red airplane, a sunsetty sky, a colour wheel, snow-covered mountains, a small full moon, a woman on a chair and a high-elevation mountain climbing guy. A little alien guy is in the middle.

I have an emotional support Meyer lemon tree next to my desk and the wafts of jasmine and citrus are giving me life

White blossoms with five narrow petals and delicate stamens in the centre, surrounded by green oblong citrus leaves.

Collage night because winter is taking forever

A collage of images that are blue, yellow, black and dark tones - the finished image is on a cutting mat on a coffee table with a pair of scissors and a utility knife nearby. And a tv remote and a playstation controller and some crumpled paper towel.

A collage of images, clockwise from bottom left to bottom right: purple hyacinthe and blue muscari, sprigs of green, a group of four old men having a conversation, an aerial view of desert cultivated for crops, a gold holograph of the earth with a small rocket blasting off in front of it, blue in the middle, dark shrubbery, a hand holding a daisy, some landscape and more daisies, and a tumbler glass of yellow liquid with a woman's golden head in the liquid.

I had to leave this life behind and it nearly killed me. I'm SO EXCITED to start 'er up again this summer.

Buckets full of flowers including yarrow, godetia, cerinthe, campanula, pearl yarrow, poppy pods and Iceland poppies.

Been sorting through photos from my flower farm to use on my new website and ghuuuuhhh

I'll never get over how cuuuute baby plants are. I started these alpine strawberries from seeds I saved from my AB city gardens, which were started from seeds saved from my flower farm (I start everything from seed). Hellooooo bebbies!

A close up of my tiny baby strawberry plants - each seedling only has its first two cotyledon leaves and one fanned "true leaf". They are in soil that is rolled up with kraft paper like a cinnamon roll.

Upon closer inspection I wonder if this wood pile WAS a little mushroom farm - these look like plug sites, no? The woman who owned my place before was a master gardener and herbalist from China, lived here till she passed at 81. Hell yeah I love this place

Several logs piled with small, evenly spaced holes drilled in them.

Saraghargh@saraghargh· Mar 2

Leak from a pipe above has resulted in a possibly ideal spot to grow mushrooms in my basement utility room? Why waste a good leak amiright (plumber has also been alerted)
