    Your first clue on #WhatsForDinner? tonight is that I made this rice a few hours ago and it’s been in the fridge… #food

    And so it begins… I don’t even grow zucchini anymore, I just tell all my coworkers and friends that I like them and inevitably still end up with more than I can use.

    One of my girlfriends discovered a new berry farm, so of course I decided to get more blueberries! #blueberries #harvest

    After two weeks of my spouse telling me about the deer with two fawns, I FINALLY got to see them all tonight!

    I just discovered that herb scissors exist and they are literally life changing. Just chopped up a bunch of chives in like two minutes. #herbs #gardening #harvest

    I have already this morning seen two people selling fireworks out of the back of a van. America, amiright? 😅

    Two pounds of blueberries was just not enough jam last year, so this year I got four pounds. Blueberry chamomile jam happening soon! #jam #blueberries #canning

    This full moon #beltane I want to know what you’re growing. Can be plants, can be an emotion, can be a movement. What are we putting our energy into for this year? #WitchyWays #IntentionSetting #witch

    One of my favorite parts of spring - fresh ramps! I harvest sustainably (one leaf from each plant) so no tiny onion bulbs for me, but the leaves are great for butter, scrambled eggs, stir fries… #ramps #HarvestSustainably #foraging

    One of my personal favorites - a trillium! These babies take two years of freeze-thaw cycles to sprout, and can take 7-10 years to flower for the first time! All that to say - don’t pick these when you see them! #trillium #WildFlowers

    Rescheduled my friend date day with my college bestie, after escaping work early we headed out to lunch and then plant shopping! I got more seed starting mix for my tomatoes, a bay laurel tree sapling (and no, I don’t think they overwinter here so ask me in a few years how THAT’S going), some onion starts, sage seeds, and a new heirloom tomato seed. Not pictured: a hose splitter. #gardening #SeedStarting

    I have seen my robin friends around for a few weeks, but was devastated that they didn’t seem to be nest building on our property. Since we moved in, we have had a nest in our deck eaves every year from some generation of this family. Today I went out to take out the compost and found this!!! Can’t wait for baby robins!! #birds #robins

    When you’re on the highway and see Bradford Pears blooming with their stupid popcorn flowers: 😡 When you finally see a native redbud along the road: 🥰🥰🥰

    Who the fuck approved it being 82 degrees today? This is not spring, it’s torture.

    Having a ridiculous POTS flare for no reason today, which has made adventures in Columbus extra difficult.

    When you pull up to the gas station and all the cars are in line for gas pump on the left, but your car’s gas cap is on the right…Subaru privilege baby!

    First goldfinch of the year! Between the bird feeder and the sunflowers I grow, these little guys love it here. #birds

    Enjoying a long weekend with the spouse in Columbus. Nice and much needed break from the real world.

    After spending four days with my parents, I’m left wondering when they’ll get scurvy because it sure doesn’t seem like anyone is eating any fruits and veggies there!

    High wind warning today! Makes for a very creaky morning coffee on the couch!

    Sick AF and currently hanging out waiting for it to be a reasonable time to take a dose of NyQuil and pass out.

    I had to cancel a bunch of shit for this weekend, so I’m thinking the head cold is the universe’s way of being like “you need a break.”

    Looking for experience with using beneficial nematodes outdoors - when is the best time to apply? What’s the lowest temperature that they can tolerate? How many (they seem to come in quantities of 5 million???) do I need? Links to non-AI articles welcome from folks who have used them before or from trusted sources. I promise I know how to google.

    Felt a bit better today, so took advantage of the nice weather to bleach and scrub my bird feeder. Definitely overdue! #birds #gardening
