First crop of leaves got harvested earlier than expected at the #barqranch yesterday. More coming soon!

The look of disappointment #drizzt gives me when he finds out my 18yo son has never seen me wear this ICEWIND DALE TRILOGY shirt by @rasalvatore.bsky.social. Maybe I should have cleaned out my closet sooner. Oops.

I still don't know what I'm doing but at least I am getting better at it. Whatever "it" is.

Can't go wrong with a purple ball of yarn as a weapon.

That's really a mace.

Sometimes i forget about #gardensky. I think I need to spend more time with my plants. And my #gardening feed.

I wish these tulips at the #barqranch lasted longer.

Vygotsky said growth requires obstacles.

I've had enough obstacles this year that I'll grow 3 times my size soon.

In the meantime, read my substack [ substack.com/@thetk42one ] or watch my YouTube [ tr.ee/Oiafgb65YS ] or send me $ [ www.venmo.com/u/thetk42one ] or look at this pretty sunrise.

Just another Monday at the #barqranch. Crawling under the house to install some bracing for a new wall. Yay home improvement!

I just... I don't know what to say. I'm shocked that I have seeds growing in my basement. It's almost like being a new parent all over again. Except this time I plan to eat the babies. #gardening #gardensky #barqranch

3 days and my seed has sprouted! Yay! #gardening #gardensky

Seed update from the #barqranch.

Day 2 - the only thing I've grown so far is condensation.

Hope everyone is staying warm! #barqranch

I never thought I'd say this, but I don't know what to do with all this except sell it.
