Gardeners may be very familiar with this woman, Ruth Stout. But, I just became aware of her. She’s an absolute bad ass. 😆 #gardening

I popped some more seeds in the indoor raised bed today to fill it out more. Some more lettuce and then a few more peppers. It seems I will have too many peppers this year! #gardening

These Black Hungarian #Peppers are absolutely killing it. They will need to be repotted soon. #gardening

My Black Hungarian peppers are growing up strong. I have a few habanero sprouts. But, this one here is doing the best. And I think I see some lettuce peaking through! It’s been nice keeping an indoor winter garden. 👍🌱 #gardening

Folks - these Hungarian hot peppers are coming in purple and I think they look just delightful. #gardening

I still standby this statement @thejeffbyrnes.com 😆
Bluesky - where local government electeds and officials still won’t acknowledge you. 😆

Call me crazy. But, Burnin’ by the Wailers is still a great record.

I can only hope to get a rest in ‘power’ when I die. 😆

I’ve said this before, but does anyone have a good recipe for #broccoli #leaves? I need to harvest some soon, as they are getting real big. #gardening

Here’s a take: “Commuting is archaic” Enough with the ‘hybrid’ working scenarios.

I saw a headline from Nat Geo the other day that we could be living in a black hole and that the Big Bang was the formation of that black hole. Crazy to think about. 🕳️ #cosmos

The #broccoli is #growing the best for me right now. I’m thinking of cutting off some leaves to make a dish soon. Let me know if you have any #recipes. 🥦

#Broccoli! #gardening Any thoughts on if these are too close together? They shot up like crazy!

Anyone else looking to see #Hamnet?

I’m creating an herb pot from the sage seeds I harvested this year. It’s a work in progress. I’ve been trying to make use of these damn pails that I inherited. Reduce, reuse recycle, I suppose.

I seriously don’t get how I start growing food indoors and I get aphids. Freaking aphids. SMDH. #gardening #indoors

The slang use of ‘based’ is widely credited to Berkeley, California rapper Lil B, whose 2007 album with hip-hop group The Pack was titled “Based Boys,” and who counts “The BasedGod” among his aliases.

I mean—are we really going there with this so-called leftist tone deaf, elitist perspective? Thus, proving that this is a divisive issue, will drive neighbors apart, and shouldn’t have been put on the ballot in the first place. SMDH.
If this really bothers you feel free to chuck a couple of bucks at Lockheed Martin about it. The defense contractors might thank you for helping them arm genocide
Personally, I think Question 3 should have never been on the ballot in #Somerville, #Massachusetts. We’ll see what happens now that it’s been passed, but I foresee a lot of wasted time and money and political infighting ahead. SMDH.

Indoor garden is doing okay. The basil is doing great. The dill looks like it won’t come back after the aphids did it in. And those bean plants have some aphids as well on the underside of the leaves that I removed today. Everything else is all good. Funny how bugs work. #gardening

I start growing herbs and veggies indoors and I get fucking #aphids! I can’t win with this old ass #Somerville basement. 😆 I don’t even get aphids outdoors. 🤷‍♂️ #gardening #Mass

My indoor garden is doing pretty well. Carrots & radishes on the right. Then basil followed by bush beans. Broccoli on the left & some beats just started to come in. Had a killer case of aphids that took out the dill in the middle. But, they didn’t seem to get anything else.🤞 #gardening
