Atheopagan, dirt worshiping grower of growing things. Mother of heathens. Sharing my love of gardening with my twins as we gleefully destroy our american lawn, and disrupt how people view the average yard.
It feels good to open the freezer and pull out a bag of sweet luscious peppers from last season, while looking out the kitchen window where our seedlings are growing up for this year. We hope one day to meet 100% of our yearly produce but honestly, 80% or so isn't bad for a little quarter acre yard.

Small happy projects, getting the yard tidied up and the gardens cleaned and ready to plant. Sometimes you just have to make something cute while screaming into the void #GardeningAsTheWorldBurns #Atheopagan #HappyLittleSanityProjects

Now that we have our lil greenhouse up, it's time to up-pot tomatoes and peppers that have been waiting. Potring up plant babies is one of my favorite spring tasks. We sit, working together, in our pocket of peace #SolanumLycopersicum #GrowFoodNotLawns #Atheopagan #SpringWork #ThePeacefulGarden

We adopted a hoophouse frame that someone was tossing with a leaning worl table. Some time, laughter and teamwork later, we have a lil greenhouse. Even our elderly uncle pitched in. #RenewRebuild #OldJunkToGardenTreasure #Atheopagan #GrowFoodNotLawns #TeamWork #HeathensWithTools

The air is cool, the sun warm, the radishes are peeking up, unfurling those adorable and amazing cotyledons. They grow so fast! Which is good because I can't wait to eat them lol.

The herb garden got a cleanup and spring prep. I hope to have several perrenial patches. This one is bunching onions and chives along the front, taller herbs in the rounds. Figuring out the tower, but something yummy for sure! #Atheopagan #EdibleAllium #GrowFoodNotLawns #GreenSanity #MicroFarm

Tomatoes and peppers. Each day they get a little outside time to harden them off then back inside for the night. I can't wait for temps to be safe enough that they can be up potted and left in our little seedling greenhouse. #Atheopagan #Nightshades #GrowFoodNotLawns #GardeningWhileTheWorldBurns

Ground cherry seeds are so teensy! I know there are smaller seeds out there but wowzercats. Sorting out two for each cell is tedious. Worth it but still tedious.. lol... #Atheopagan #LoveYourLocalPlanet #Physalis #YummyNightshades #GrowFoodNotLawns #GroundCherry

Getting ready to plant more seeds and preparing for the great up-potting marathons that will be happening in the coming weeks. I love the process because I get to touch each seedling and ensure it's. #Zone7 #Atheopagan #GrowFoodNotLawns #LoveYourLocalPlanet #HeathensInTheGarden #GrowAllTheThings

It's a feeling, looking at what will be so much of the garden, sitting on a shelf not even two arms width wide. Having lovingly nurtured them, knowing that soon they will be out in the garden. Worrisome and wonderful at once. #Atheopagan #GrowFoodNotLawns #LoveYourLocalPlanet #HeathensInTheGarden

Looking through the tomato plants from the side is like a view through some strange and wonderful secret forest. Check out those sexy trichomes! What amazing plants! #SolanumLycopersicum #WolfPeach #LoveApple #Atheopagan #GrowFoodNotLawns #LoveYourLocalPlanet #HeathensInTheGarden #GrowAllTheThings

The tomatoes are getting so strong! Almost time to up-pot after some gentle hardening off to get them used to our tiny little outside greenhouse.

There are 2 storylines here:

- The one that paints a picture of despair.

- The one that paints a picture of action.

One says, "This is what's happening. There's nothing we can do about it."

The other, "This is what's happening. Unless we stop it."

Knowledge is power IF we create action from it.

In the yard with my spawn, planting seeds and laughing. So grateful that my twins and I can share this peaceful, rewarding hobby. Just dirt and seeds, air and sunshine. We have such a pretty little planet. Also, We got this nifty planting tool to help with spacing. Useful gizmos are useful.

I love radishes! So many colors and shapes and sizes. They grow so fast so give you that good spring productivity fix and reward you've been craving all winter. It was a chilly day but thw sun was out and the soil workable. It was a great day!

Sweet potato slips! I can't wait to see them cascading out of the grow bags, sprawling around the gardens. The leaves and shoot are also edible and delicious. #IpomoeaBatatas #Atheopagan #GrowFoodNotLawns #LoveYourLocalPlanet #HeathensInTheGarden #GrowAllTheThings

It's that time of year, I find myself roaming the yard poking the soil, trying to will it into thawing. Then, just like that the crocus here there, reminding me of the persistence of the seasons. Spring really is here. Our little planet is so very beautiful. #Atheopagan #LoveYourLocalPlanet #Spring

Look at those beautiful, amazing tomato stems. Look at those stunning trichomes! Sexy plants are sexy

Last week, a video of a rare black seadevil anglerfish spotted near the ocean surface made headlines because anglerfish typically live in very deep waters.

Dr. @sternarchella.bsky.social joins us to discuss the video and recent research on anglerfish evolution.
Why The Internet Was Captivated By A Hideous Fish
A video of a gloriously creepy anglerfish inspired tears and poetry online. But why was this deep-sea dweller near the surface at all?

Elon 'wrote' a children's book about him being bullied. Turns out he got pushed down the stairs for bullying a classmate over his father's recent suicide.
