I got a couple of books to help me understand the process better.
Seed to Seed by Susanne Ashworth and Breeding Your Own Vegetable Varieties by Carole Deppe. They have been immensely informational and they are the ones I'll be referring back to for the process

First tomatoes of the season have formed! I need to brush up on how to breed tomatoes again pretty quickly here now that the first ones have started.
I wanted to save some True to type ones first so i can have better regionally adapted seeds to work with later. 🌱

Almost all of my tomatoes have at least one set of flowers now! In the past couple years I've always removed the first blooms, mostly because they weren't in the ground yet.
But this year I've added compost to the bed and they have been in the ground for several weeks. So they'll be staying on 🌱

I love it when things you didn't expect to perennialize, just stick around. I realized this morning as i was walking through that I planted this dill plant in 2023.
It fed black swallowtail caterpillars in the late spring, survived the texas summer and now is once again thriving
Plants are cool 🌱

Main crop of tomatoes planted in ground, now it's time to add a some sunflower seeds so they'll shade out the tomatoes during the heat of texas summer because i don't have a good way of putting shade cloth over this part of the garden

I am a gardener, and i do a bit of embroidery myself! I mostly post about my gardening life on here.
But i also like video games and books and all kinds of art. I also have dogs and cats that are goofy and silly.

I tried to live alongside the gophers, i tried planting onions and garlic to keep them out. But peace was apparently not in the cards for them.
I understand that pickings are slim and i would make a whole garden just for you to eat if i could afford to water it all. But alas...

Finished adding more cardboard and coffee grounds. My set up also requires frequent watering because it dries out quickly as it's exposed on all sides to the air except the very bottom.
This picture is from yesterday before the additions because I'm too tired to take another right now. 🌱

I recommend an olla, a homemade one if you don't want to spend a ton of money on a premade one.
But they are an ancient irrigation technique that I've used to irrigate grow bags in the past with great success.
Bury all but the top inch of the olla in your growing medium and then fill with water

This kinda coverage is what I am looking forward to doing in my in ground beds this upcoming year.
This complete coverage of the soil is going to benefit my garden in several ways.
1. I get to grow more stuff
2. The coverage of the soil surface helps eliminate water evaporation

So far in Nigeria this practice has been very successful and has even allowed the restoration of the water table in some areas! Here are some pictures from the same video above showing the progress in just 8 years 🌱

This is a low tech way of trapping water and allowing it to slowly absorb into the soil rather than allowing it to erode the topsoil down and away from the site.
This picture is from Andrew Millison's youtube video about these. But it demonstrates the function well. 🌱

I believe so! This plant and i have one other one like it that's now almost 2 years old. I got the seeds from Baker Creek back in 2021 or so and it tastes great in soups and stirfry and smells as advertised: like lemongrass

Despite our recent foils and overconsumption, the world that we inhabit is so full of love and hopes and dreams of those who came before us
