I pickled some peppers!

Nice! My stack from yesterday:

Y’all! I got a community violation on TikTok for posting these photos asking for help to ID the plant!! They said it was drugs. It isn’t drugs, even tho I don’t know what it is. Can y’all help me ID? It was in my potato bed.

As a former photographer, this is a prime example of how what the photographer focuses on (& excludes) is VERY subjective. These are very different from the peaceful protest Live streams and even the video of cop aiming and shooting a reporter with rubber bullet.

Sometimes there are garden tasks that are no fun at all and so I procrastinate. Today I got one of those done! Woo hoo! (It was deeply digging around a blueberry bush to both get stubborn weeds out and add peat moss to help acidify soil so it’ll produce next year.)

I had a tiny basil sprout in this container with my tomato plant, but some animal (squirrel probly) hopped the fence and snatched it! I now hace a cage over the container.

Some of the books I’m reading and referencing atm.

Today I dug a bunch of huge rocks out of ground and planted my strawberry patch (in addition to more seeds in raised beds)!

This month’s banned book selection is Firekeeper’s Daughter!

A few Swiss chard, arugula (photo below), and bronze mignonette lettuce have sprouted.

The Kansas legislature is trying to find away to declare fetal personhood, this time under the guise of fetal child support. I just submitted my written testimony in opposition to this bill HB 2062, and you can too! Deadline is 1:30 pm CT! Bit.ly/NOHB2062
