@GrandmaJ They are! so far I have tomato, spaghetti squash, beans, and beets coming on. No zuchinni yet but I'm monitoring closely :) Eggplants and peppers are still teeny tiny. I've never raised okra before so I'm having a hard time gauging their progress.
@BetryPackard I believe it is called the "menopause sucks and everything makes me gain weight diet." I'm convinced the core premise is starvation. She runs 2 miles per day, walks another mile with the doggo, eats one veggie heavy meal, and has cut out all the junk food and snacks. I am slowly finishing off all the food in the pantry that isn't on her diet. I already eat pretty healthy, but I've also started running, cutting down on wine intake, and reducing food quantity (smaller meals).
@XanHart ohhh good idea. I hadn't considered doing that. It never occurred to me that something would try to get into the bed by burrowing underneath...between the mulch, the weed barrier, the height of the bed, etc. I don't think the critter will be successful, but interesting that it would try. Maybe it's because I fenced off the beds at the top and cut off the easy access.
@anamuk 😂 the macro tag...priceless
The graduating class of May 14th ladies and gentlemen. May they go on to do great things! #gardening
@XanHart I was admiring your setup when you posted pics the other day! Something tried to dig under mine this week. Going to move the game cam and see if I can catch it.
@XanHart I think it's time to add another garden bed.
@Helical_Code 😂 I would lead a very bland life without stealth spice
@XanHart Sounds like the US crops aren't doing great either.
@Helical_Code SO says Cayenne (we like ours spicy), salt, pepper, and garlic
Doggo 1 has eye drops. I have an appointment for covid booster #2. Slow cooked carnitas turned out amazing. The SO's diet has me down about 4 lbs. Okra seedlings are ready to go out to the garden bed. Coffee is going in. It's going to be a great day. Happy Saturday my friends.
@Helical_Code before roasting. I don't think they need anything else, but I am notorious for under seasoning dishes so my SO often seasons my dishes for me during cooking without telling me... there could be extra seasonings that I'm not aware of.
@Helical_Code I'll eat them any way you cook them, but I'm a personal fan of balsamic vinegar with a touch of honey. Annnnnnd now I want brussel sprouts for breakfast.
@qgr my manager was sitting in an in-person, unmasked work meeting when his wife called to let him know that two of his friends tested positive and his allergies probably weren't allergies.
My WoW guild is streaming the original Friday the 13th movie tonight. Great way to start the weekend :)
@homebird and I thought I was being so smart by putting my contacts in before cooking... still managed to screw it up.
On a side note...do not rub your eye after you've been chopping jalapenos #damnit
The SO couldn't sleep so the entire house woke up at 4 am. SO went to work. I spent an hour prepping pork carnitas and got that into the slow cooker. Going to be a long day of tortuously good smells. Doggo 2 hit Doggo 1 in the eye with her happy tail so there's a trip to the vet somewhere in our schedule today *sigh* And why are there already six meetings on my calendar today? Meetings should be banned on Fridays. #thisisnotok #morecoffee
@GrandmaJ I love poppies! They make awesome photography subjects.
