We’re in zone 10b. We also primarily do container gardening. The determinate varieties that grew really well for us were Ace 55, Supremo, Patio Choice Yellow (cherry), and Cream Sausage. All Botanical Interests bush variety seeds. No joke, those yellow ones grew like gangbusters
My flavor of neurospicy is spending $100 on materials to convert a $5 hardbound notebook into a spiral one cause it was a cute design but I like spiral better. Is it perfect? Nope Did I have all the right tools? No Did I have fun? Oh yeah Would I do it again? ABSOLUTELY
Warm weather calls for frozen treats 🍧 Tossed a few churus (squeezy cat treat) in the freezer for kitty otter pops.
ALSO, if you’re in an area with the potential for wildfires, download the Watch Duty app. It’s one of the best apps for information. Additionally, see if your local town/city has an emergency system that will text or call if you have to evacuate.
So happy to see the “gentleman cat” pose will live on in the next generation 💖 He just started doing this in the last week
Today is this guy’s Sweet Sixteen 💖 He’s currently spending it doing his favorite thing, sleeping. He doesn’t hear as well these days, but he still purrs all the time. Happy Birthday my sweet boy!
One tip I came across last year was using a fan on the seedlings to help them get stronger before outside transfer. And while antidotal, we did end up growing bonkers amounts of tomatoes last year with very little space.
Ok Bluesky, I need suggestions for an easy drip irrigation system. Emphasis on EASY. Last year I diy’ed ollas out of terracotta pots, but it would be nice to have something for when we’re away from home. The garden is mostly containers. New to the garden this year: 🌈 🌽
Currently playing a Magnificent 7 themed Draw Steel one shot. Meet Moranna “Ranna” Talgranas and her hellhound Clause #DrawSteel
My orange boy Star who made me fall in love with cats (and orange cats especially). I still miss him every day 💖
Proudest moment of the year thus far, yelling at my Republican rep so much on FB that I earned a “top fan” badge 😂🤌. (This is one of the only reasons I still have a FB at this point.)
One of my favorite discoveries (for myself) this year was T. Kingfisher’s books. Her humor and banter hits just right, and she’s one of the only authors where my books look like this. (I’ll never think of horse riding in fantasy the same)
The penguins! Honestly, the most fantastical part of Batman Returns was implying that Michelle Pfeiffer’s pre-Catwoman Selena Kyle was even remotely “ugly”. Disbelief NOT suspended.
She’s good at enforcing that work life balance. It’s important to take breaks. And even better if those breaks include playing with her favorite toy 💖
Kitten is happy to celebrate Banned Book Week, but may be disappointed with the subject matter (thanks to @airalos.bsky.social for the brilliant joke)
It’s been awhile since I did a garden update. This was our peak harvest, which I’m honestly shocked by considering it was our first year. We planted a new set of tomatoes, so I’m curious to see how those do as we go into fall. We also have been dipping our toes into canning (it’s mostly salsa)
Happy Friday Bluesky, I feel like this pic perfect captures 2025 thus far. Feel free to caption!
