I'm no astronomer (or astrologer, for that matter), but I think this is #Venus and #Jupiter, as seen from my bus stop this morning. #planets #skywatching #stargazing

Thanks! I think it cracked from being knocked off the stand I had propped it on (it was hanging over the edge of the raised bed). I am keeping hope alive for the other two on the vines.

Cheese. Lots of cheese.

Picked this watermelon today because it had a crack (right side of photo). Seeds are huge. Taste is not sweet. But very juicy. What do you think? Needed more time? Overripe? I have another the same(ish) size on the vine. Wondering what to do with it. #watermelon #gardening #gardenquestions

I bought black chickpeas from Rancho Gordo. Thought I'd try to make kala chana masala. #ranchogordo #chanamasala #mealprep

I felt like my bugs needed fresh greens, so I pulled up the mixed greens bed and planted half of the bok choi I started indoors. The other half will stay indoors as a little "indoor grow experiment." #gardening #bokchoi #indoorgrow #foodforbugs

I am the only person in my section today, so I am trying to determine the earliest I can sneak out with no one else noticing ...

I made a lamp. #pottery #madebyme #lamp

Garlic/Ginger/Horseradish graters and a carved dome thing. #pottery #glaze #madebyme

Who doesn't love Summer, the time of year when you can use your Hagi-yaki corn plate with no shame? #corn #pottery #hagiyaki

I am busily trying to convert some of my colleagues to Stevenism and to follow the 5 Pillars of Virtue: Laziness, Food, Telework, Sarcasm, and Spilling Shit Just for Spite.

My former supervisor is a Teleworkian and it's against her sincerely held religious beliefs to have to come into the office.

And make it a double!

And I added 2 more pieces to the garden totem ...

Lamp bases - ~6" tall, Somen bowl - 9.5" wide, 3"tall, Ghost light - 5" tall. #madebyme #pottery #glaze #porcelainclay

A co-worker and I have started to refer to our break-out rooms as "breakdown" rooms.

When you leave for a long weekend, make an initial sweep of the garden, and then make another sweep. So much shishito! Also, any ideas when okra gets so big? Is it still ok to slice and use in stews? Or will it be too fibrous? #okra #gardening #shishito #beans

That's a long dang time to wait ... however, I may be visiting Maine in August. Lol

Today's Harvest. Shishito, and okra, and beans. Oh my! #gardening #todaysharvest

St. Anthony has been found!

And, then, I made a cold shishito soup.

Also, roasted tomato sauce using tomatoes from the farmers market.

Corn stock

I should have picked all this last week. It is not sweet at all. I cut it off the cobs and have 6 cups in the freezer. Maybe I will make a corn pudding or something this Fall. The cobs are currently being turned into stock. #corn #grownbyme #gardening

What do you do when your lost item is your St.Anthony carving? #patronsaint #lostthings #saintanthony

It's (supposed to be) sweet corn - called "Bilicious"

Follow me for more #corn related content ... there may be a #shucking video at some point.

I think I will harvest it all tomorrow, cut the kernels off the cob, freeze them, and make stock with the cobs. #wastenotwantnot.

#Corn. It is dimpled. Which I think means, I waited too long to pick it? I read I can still use it for cooking (but it tastes pretty terrible raw. Lol). Any ideas? Thoughts? Still, not too bad for the first time. #garden #gardeningproblems #gardeningquestions

This is some sort of #phlox that I bought at the farmers market a couple of weeks ago. So pretty! #prettyinpink

Minus some eggplants that I've already eaten. Nom nom nom
