Millet. I had some extra space at the end of a pepper row so BAM, this ornamental grass that should have gone in the ground some time ago. I’m skeptical of the tight spacing but I’m following instructions ‘cause what the fudge do I know? We’ll see how it goes… #poormansgrain
Bug’s eye view #habanero What you don’t see pictured here is the soul-crushing heat on high 🥵😵💫
When my mother sent me this ridiculous, sombrero-sized hat, I immediately dismissed it as a serious clash to my sense of fabulous but it’s hot as Hades, folks, and this beast is like standing under a tree at all times. Glorious. Also, did you know that an unexpected boulder directly beneath a new vegetable bed can cause marital…tension when your wife suddenly kicks out the fulcrum suspending it above your feet? It can. Like goddamned Looney Toons over here #ththththatsallfolks
Blue-eyed grass, apparently. I stole a bunch from nature to incarcerate within the tyranny of a plastic pot. But look how nice it is #plantslavery
Starting off this market season at a . . . brisk walk 😂
Tomatoes! Finally got ONE variety in the ground. The white powder pictured is about a million pulverized eggshells. Hopefully that’ll nip the blossom end rot I’ve been having trouble with. If anyone has any tricks, I’m all earholes. Transition clunk 1: Next year, I’m going to shorten my beds to 50ft instead of 100. I’ll be able to play with more varieties that way without activating any latent OCD when I see their branches rubbing against each other. Also easier deal with row cover and mulching. Transition clunk 2: I’ll be at the Sussex Farmers Market tomorrow with tomato and pepper plants but then it’s back to transplanting come Saturday 🥵 ~Fin
