Transplanted some of my #BokChoy & purple #tomatillo plants into larger pots. These starters are all being picked up this weekend by a few of my regular plant buyers here. There's some folks who get plants from me, every year

The smell of Juniper trees after the rain!
Und wenn man ein Bild seines gestrigen Mittagessens postet, meldet sich pronto ein großer Hunger. Ich bin sehr einfach gestrickt, aber auch sehr einfach zufriedenzustellen.
Simple, nourishing lentil soup is so yummy on a cold night.
It makes a lot, so adjust as you need.

Benefits of work from home days, harvesting from my garden on lunch break
My first #galia #cantaloupe #harvest
It's super juicy, sweet & delicious!
Galia is a type of cantaloupe that's a cross between a cantaloupe & a honeydew. The fruit is light green on the inside, when ripened.
Backyard remediation project update.
3rd batch of snowpeas sowed are producing peas. Cucumbers are still coming out. Cherry tomatoes are nearing end of fruiting. More compost, lawn cuttings, leaf mulch & topsoil added to cardboard sheets. The sheets are breaking down slowly now.
#FunSocks update for my e-pal, @Melissabeartrix
Halloween is my fave holiday.
Pretty proud of growing this big #SanMarzano striped #tomato
#Cucamelons aka #MouseMelon aka #Pepquinos are easy to grow & do well in PNW areas. Fruits are size of large grapes & they taste like sour cucumbers. Good for pickling. You can eat them raw, like cucumbers. I like dipping them raw into sea salt with some chopped red chili peppers.
It's native range goes from Mexico to Venezuela. Many people grow it in different areas of the world as a food crop.
Today's noon harvest.
2 #cucumbers & 1 #jicama (aka #MexicanTurnip )
