Fall harvests are unique and special. Our shiitake logs flushed for a 3rd time right before Thanksgiving. I squealed! #gardening

PSA: You cannot test once and assume you don’t have #covid. It took 4 tests over 4 days after my symptoms started for me to show a positive result. My mother and father contracted Covid in the ICU as there are no mitigation protocols whatsoever and though I masked 24/7, I still contracted it.

Few things bring as much joy and wonder as seeing life emerge from a tiny seed and produce such beautiful food. Tomatoes and eggplant are doing very well so far! #gardening

This year I added a GreenStalk vertical planter, a Freyr trellis, and an Epic Gardening A-frame trellis to my garden, and I’m so pleased with all three! Can’t wait for 🍅 tomatoes and other summer veggies! #gardening #8b in coastal NC

First 🍅 spotted in #8b coastal NC, with peppers and eggplant not far behind! Botanical Interests seeds have done incredibly well, including the flower seed mixes you simply shake and rake in. Can’t wait for the season ahead!

You should try! It’s much easier than I thought. I’m growing 8 varieties now and had a near 100% germination rate using Botanical Interests seed. This is my simple garage set up.

We have German shedders so I can relate! Mine like to get dirty first then come inside. But they’re so worth it 😊

8-day-old kale, bok choy, and Swiss chard. Growing helps my mental state more than any other activity. Growing is hope for the future. #gardening

This year I added citrus trees to my garden and this is my first harvest. Displayed in a bowl that’s special to me; it’s from an annual trip to Highlands, NC with my parents purchased about 20 years ago. #gardening

My daughter no longer believes in Santa but still wants to experience the magic. Tonight I found her note to Santa in her elf, eagerly awaiting his arrival.

Grades submitted and back in the garden on this beautiful Monday. Making plant gift pots for friends. Today I learned Swiss chard roots are pink! Always something to learn while #gardening. 🪴 🌞
