Marked safe from Grocery store raspberries 😂 (The heat wave the other week was not kind)
Ok we give it a 7.5-8 out of 10 but we recognize that it is an absolute crime against multiple cuisines so please don’t at me. Note although I made the sauce we didn’t eat it. And I googled like 5 versions of this to decide how to do it. But yes “dumpling lasagna” which is neither is delicious
Sometimes I’m not actually convinced I work at THE Johns Hopkins University because surely they would not expect us to do world class research with fume hoods full of water and rusting (I was just minding my business trying to do lunch and got pulled into yet another facilities side quest)
I planted two kinds this year and cannot for the life of me remember what the second one is (the first is genovese) Any basil experts know which one this is?
Why do I do this to myself? The good news is I have toned it down. This is about 1/3 the number of plants I usually do

Hey Baltimore Bluesky! I don’t think BARCS is here (please tag them if my search skills failed) but looks like they are in a dire situation with back to back intakes of a bananas number of dogs (92 animals in 2 days). Today no adoption fee and if you have the capacity to foster they are desperate!
Happy Monday from the one billion wildflowers my husband planted for me and all of the pollinators that live here now. I sure hope one of our neighbors has hives. Also if you’ve ever thought let’s just till that grass and plant wildflowers. Yes (This is one of four large strips!)

The next entry in our continuing series Sarah tries new Oreo flavors: The BTS brown sugar pancake Oreo. It was this or rocket pop Oreos and honestly I was scared I was gonna have to do those and then got saved by these They weren’t as good as the queer space Oreos but they are pretty damn good
In other Maryland gardening news? Apparently last summer we missed the massive patches of black raspberries at our new house. Help
