Adventures In My Four Season Garden

Artist. Gardener. Easily amused by medieval marginalia.
Julie's Secret Jewel Watching Friend.
Happy Holiday Cactus season to those who celebrate.
I'm hugging you with my brain, Gill.

Here's a picture of strawberries (Mara de Bois) in my garden, taken yesterday. They are tucked in under a dome of greenhouse plastic, growing and putting out flowers and fruit even with night temps dipping to 24F. I hope sweet things start coming your way soon.

Thoughts I'm thinking after seeing Seabiscuit Sidepiece posing with Sarah Jessica Parker a day after H&M were spotted at a party hosted by the Kardashians...

I also have a red and a pink one!
I don't know what cultivars they are by name though.

My third thanksgiving cactus has bloomed for the first time. This one was called Thor by the grower I bought it from
Sort of between salmon and coral in color

They haven't all bloomed yet and already the room smells of paella

btw, this is the dress Eva Peron wore when meeting the Pope.
Apparently she tried to wear a peineta also, but it was confiscated by Vatican staff? She only wore the mantilla.

@juliethecranky.bsky.social looking back on other royals that have visited the Vatican...

Queen Sofia of Spain. ABSOLUTELY ENORMOUS peineta.
Of course only Catholic monarchs have the Privilège du blanc

I'm annoyed b/c it looks like Bride of Chucky might have worn Her Late Maj's pearls from her dad

This was me painting The Holly King last week. I ran out of my usual gilding adhesive and bought a substandard brand locally. I will not be using that on your piece. New bottle of proper adhesive is already on order.

@juliethecranky.bsky.social I feel the sentiment speaks to your household.
Feeling cute, might paint a sign for you later

Just found this chilling out in my greenhouse.

Any idea what it is?

Biggest moth I've ever seen in my garden!
