I’m told this is where my tech friends hangout now. I shall start posting tech content, not just gardening.

Handful of strawberry in my apron in front of strawberry planter

A bundle of garlic scapes

Garlics are growing nicely, scapes are coming out which means one more month or so till harvest. 🧄

A basket of Napa cabbage, red and white turnips

Today’s harvest from my yard. Turnips (red and white) are going to be pickled.

Potato beds

Over view of crop garden

Sweet potato slips are finally in! Potatoes are doing good, crop garden is filling up !

wheat, onion, garlics
, sauce tomato are all in, cabbage, broccoli, squash, corn waiting to be planted :)

I need wildfire up north to calm down because I got sweet potato slips to plant !(long over due)

Garden with in ground and raised beds planted with tomatoes, peppers, eggplants

Finally planted my yard with some tomatoes 🍅

10days forecast for where my garden is

Maybe finally it’s time to plant tomatoes (I’m told night temp should be above 10C)

Freedom rangers in pasture with red chicken coop

It’s the once a month chicken restock day at farm stand (it’s an event for regulars! We showed up 15min past opening time and chicken freezer was already low on stock.)

Since we moved to CT, we switched to buying from this farm since their pasture meat tastes so much better)

Plant seedlings in flats and a bag of Myoga roots

Woke up early for pant sales day at one of Japanese owned farm in CT! Japanese eggplants and cucumbers :) and bonus Myoga ginger root!

(Eggplant I gave up on making my own seedling, they need to start early, and in this climate needs more baby sitting for warmth. Gladly pay farmer for it)

A bowl of “Japchae” with white thin noodles, or glass sweet potato starch noodles

Office day today!

Let’s check out Asian section for lunch!

Oh! today is Korean!

…this is labeled Japchae, but, but, …but this just looks like fried rice vermicelli??????

(Asian dish naming at office cafe is always questionable and I find it funny every time I spot it)

A 4oz fiber and a 4oz DK yarn both hand dyed from Shirsty Cat Designs.

A very minimal stash enhancement!

Going to Connecticut Sheep and Wool today despite rain.

Pray for my stash to _not_ acquire any more sheep fleece. (I still have 3 sheeps and 1 alpaca fleece to spin).
