Garden Report.

I grew melons. Kajari melons. Similar to honeydew, but with a fresh-from-the-garden elevation in taste. I grew these in my friends' yard up-valley; they wouldn't make it to maturity in the community garden - they'd be lost to 'community' long before that. Anyway, nice melons.

Garden Report.

Spread some shxt on the grow beds, including around the already sprouted garlic. Now the car smells. Planted some lettuce and spring onions I started inside. Also transplanted some overwintered lettuce! All nicely prepped and planned, presently, before it all goes tilt later.

US Republicans scared to face their constituents.

Beauty continues despite us.

There won't be any help coming from the US cowards.

Spent a few hours doing this today.

The big diamond* I cut and set for my person.
