One must be cautious when walking in the garden at night. Almost walked through this. #AmGardening 🌱

I've been pruning my tomato plants regularly this year, in the hope that I can keep them somewhat under control. They're finally starting to ripen. Started harvesting today. #AmGardening 🌱

Today I harvested the garlic flowers that I allowed to go to maturity. The little bulbils inside will be planted this fall. Next spring I'll harvest the scapes, then dig up the small bulbs for re-planting the following fall. #AmGardening 🌱

I've been watching the leaves on the garlic since I harvested the scapes, and this afternoon I decided it was time to start harvesting the bulbs. Tomorrow I'll get the rest of them out of the ground. #AmGardening 🌱

There appears to be more garlic back here than I first thought. I left a dozen or so to flower and spread more seeds. I've never attempted garlic cultivation before today. 🌱 #AmGardening

I can't understand why we get a bat or two in the house each spring with so much garlic around.

Please note that we've lived here for three years and never planted any garlic. #AmGardening 🌱

We're getting the garden ready for the seedlings that are in the grow tent. 🌱 #amgardening

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I love how incredibly purple the dame's rocket flowers are.

Some plants are ready to go into small pots. We planted two more 72-cell trays tonight. Tomatoes, peppers (sweet and hot), beans, peas, cauliflower, broccoli, cantaloupe, and pumpkin. Writing out the tags is the tedious part. #AmGardening 🌱

I've never welded anything before. There are things I want to make that require welding. I might as well learn how.

If my direct deposit fails to materialize, I'm coming to your front door, motherfucker.
Lutnick, a billionaire who recently gobsmacked conflict-of-interest watchdogs by promoting Musk's Tesla stock on Fox News, added to the controversy, telling the "All-In in DC!" podcast: "Let's say Social Security didn't send out their checks this month. My mother-in-law, who's 94, she wouldn't call and complain. She just wouldn't. She'd think something got messed up and she'll get it next month."

Happy to see the goldfinches in the yard today. The sparrows are always hanging around.

Thanks! Still a couple days till the day, but I'll celebrate whenever i can. It's so very strange to see someone like Emil Bove and realize he's sixteen or seventeen years younger than I am. I feel pretty good for my age in comparison.

It does my mental health good to see some things.

I'm certainly not one to claim to speak for anyone else, but this probably isn't the kind of social media that's yearning for that kind of connection.

Well, it's okay if you get rid of it. It's kinda rough.

I'm jumping back in to my IRC project in Perl. Because it's a personal project, I feel no pressure to do anything other than satisfy my own needs with it. #AmCoding
