Never have I been more grateful for 80° and slight humidity than after coming back from 110° and the wind is an oven. Got to work in the garden and greenhouse, the harvests are looking nice!

Home and recuperating from Botany 2025! Really amazing conference, I met so many incredible people and had such an awesome time (in spite of the UV index). My second Botany was a really amazing experience and I'm so excited to see everyone next year in Tuscon! (And some of you at SICB in Portland 🙂)

Really happy with how mine and @writerbynight.bsky.social's back door is looking :) and our little garden plot at the community garden is getting going too! Some stuff still has to get planted and land in a final destination, but over all, doing good :)

Had an awesome second field day yesterday looking at Penstemon morphological funkyness on some PA shale barrens around Raystown Lake as part of my Master's thesis! What a cool study system and an awesome environment :)

I've been teaching myself to crochet lil guys to make my brain be quiet, and then I've been placing them in our little free art museum to be adopted. It's been a great way to practice without feeling guilty about just having practice pieces build up. Here's the roster from this week!

@writerbynight.bsky.social and I have started working on our plot in our local community garden! Over the past 2 days we've got it about 2/3rds weeded which is nice, I really wanted to get ahead of the weeds and the dang zoysia grass. We have a very unhappy Robin that we covered it up
