Last fall @waywardtraveler.bsky.social and I planted over 50 Katherine Hodges dwarf irises. The first ones just started blooming, Spring is here!!
They’re so tiny that my camera can barely focus on more than one at a time but dang they’re pretty! I just love that ice blue color!

Going to try my hand at using milk jugs as miniature greenhouses for starting my winter hardy annuals and perennials. In six weeks or so I’ll make another batch of jugs for the tender stuff like squash and zinnias.

My first time seeing orchids growing on trees. The plant is tied to the tree and over time the roots embed in it. The plant never touches soil and does fine like this, it’s pretty neat!

The orchid garden at the Hilo botanical garden is incredible. Some of these blooms smell like sugar cookies!

At End of the World during a high surf and the waves are just incredible! The crowd there was small but even after a dozen takes I couldn’t get a single video without someone in the crowd reacting. I guess that shows how endlessly impressive it was lol

I’ll never get over the contrast between leaving Washington state in the winter and landing in Hawaii on the same day. I’m always in awe of this place.

Everything else I’m chopping down and leaving in place to decompose. In spring I’ll cover it with a couple inches of compost and plant again!

Officially putting the garden to bed for the year. The canna lilies and dahlias generally don’t survive freezing temps so I’m experimenting with keeping them in their pots and storing them in the shed for the winter. For extra insulation I covered them with foam and cardboard.

Feeling pretty competent with smoked ribs now. Even smoked some corn on the cob. All it had was butter was honey, it turned out delicious. The sauced ribs on the right are a mixture of bbq sauce, kahlua, and brown sugar. If espresso were a meat this would be it!

I still laugh when I call these sweet potatoes but tbh they still made pretty decent fries. Gotta use an airfryer though, their thickness isn’t consistent and panfrying mostly gave me burned or soft fries

My first real attempt at smoking whole chickens was a success! I experimented with different seasonings and adding bbq sauce to some of them and they all turned out crazy good. I can’t wait to try ribs next!

Air-fried some butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Oh and I guess some pumpkin seeds are in there too.

Spent most my life thinking artistic talent wasn’t something I had much of with the exception of the occasional humorous shit post or antic.
Then I took up landscaping and gardening as a pastime and wow, I might have some latent talents there 🌸💐❤️
