pickled green tomato experiment is a go

a black countertop full of red tomatoes, basil, two types of bean pods, and squash

two full bags of tomatoes

a large box full of green grape tomatoes

All the stuff we grabbed to rescue from first frost - I am reading the Four Horsemen cookbook and they have a recipe for pickled green tomatoes that I feel inspired to try out 🧐

15 butternut squash in a black wagon w/ some pears

please send your favorite butternut recipes I have grown 15 beautiful butternut squash this year and I am ready to party

an orange party bag full of calendula flower seeds

this morning I collected some fresh calendula heads & noted just how much I had missed in the past few weeks just based on how many seeds were available! I like to collect seeds for next year in these party bags so they can breathe well

24 hours of sauce

Gotta give props to GDC for solving the issue of fomo for ppl outside the US who can't go anymore.

twenty-four giant heirloom tomatoes in various shades of red and yellow

The tomato situation here might be getting a little out of control.
Any extra space in my freezer is already filled with jars of homemade tomato sauce and there are still so many heirloom tomatoes ripening on the vines - not to mention each individual tomato is huge

the log slices that megan cut, laid out in a garden path with mulch through a strawberry patch

Spent some time in the sun and learned something new yesterday despite still being sick! All for a garden path through the strawberry plants 🥰

a view of a towering mystery bean plant that sprouted from some beans my partner won in a poker game in New Mexico

beans are lowkey elegant plants

Waiting very Patiently and Respectfully for my butternut squash to be ready for harvest

we turned them into really yummy hash browns 😋

a small bowl of tiny potatoes

I'm in such a catatonic state of existential despair that I can't bring myself to do a lot of things rn, but I CAN keep posting inconsequential garden / food processing updates through the harvest season. For example: here is a small bowl of tiny potatoes from my potato baskets #garden #potato

these cobbs turned out better than the first two I picked so I'm doing a test batch of prepped frozen corn! I'm sure the cookie sheet flash freeze is kind of extra but I'd rather be safe than sorry (i.e. eating a future frozen corn brick)

I always love those lists of "35 under 35," but as I get older, I find that I would love to know about innovations/art from people over 65. "65 over 65" please. Elders have incredible ideas that are the result of having seen the full lifecycle of previous ideas and learned from it.

oooh that's a great idea!

the pointy little hat on it is killing me

two hands full of blackberries in the evening sunlight w/ blackberry juice-stained fingers

3 mutant corn cobs - one is a double-cob and one is a cob missing half the kernels with a teeny tiny baby cob growing off the side

one of the double cob pieces removed from the husk - revealing that it was only half-polinated

My first attempt at growing corn lmao

This was a really important read for my morale rn

the vibe over here rn

hear me hum and play guitar in FROG BARD a whimsical poetry experience where u play as a FROG who is a BARD driving between gigs and looking for writing inspiration (just like me) ~

thanks Amila 😭💖

We will be stronger if folks are willing to admit that genocide is wrong, Palestinian lives are precious, and apartheid and attacks on civil rights in the name of “Jewish safety” are a Christian nationalist-driven Trojan horse that will destroy us if we don’t shut it down

Portait of a woman covered in sludge. Only her arms are uncovered. But within the sludge, her face and body are partially visible, revealing a floral pattern on her face and body, pink and white flowers on blue background. This is a repaint of an illustration I did a decade ago. In the original there in equal sign superimposed at the bottom of the canvas. The equal sign is still there, but it is empty now.

A world without Trans people has never existed, and it never will. More than visibility, we need safety 🏳️‍⚧️

y'kno, attending GDC right in the middle of moving into my house did not work out as smoothly as I had hoped! Sorry if I've left anyone hanging! I am in fact STILL moving into my new place
