went out and did some basic quick chores and buried some worm food and weeds and weeded a little bit of a garden. i'm mostly on half-hour-here-or-there-gardening these days. today was going to be mowing day but i looked and decided to change my mind and do it Saturday instead (another cooler...

sadly for us Mom hates eggplant and won't touch it. i've always loved it in many ways and since i also don't mind bitterness i don't care how it is prepped. in the future i hope to grow some eggplants but i don't think that will be any time soon.

haha, looks happily spoiled already, but with markings like that he's likely popular. :) no, that's not a zoot suit from the 70s...

when i was outside a bit ago watering and puttering for a few mnutes i noticed some volunteer bean plants sprouting so at last the ground is warm enough here. this is about my normal time to plant my normal beans (not experimental or early ones that i sometimes grow to see what happens). we...

lockdown?

adzuki beans don't really get going until there is some heat. i've grown them here about a half dozen times. got some harvest. two varieties mixed together. the varmints like eating the plants but don't seem to go after the seeds. i often interplanted them and that may have helped them from...

cosmos planted and watered, but not really sure how well this is going to go because i tried something different. normally i would scratch a shallow trench and put some seeds in there and then gently cover them up and then water in. the garden soil back there is so hard and clumpy and...

i try to do what makes me happy. :) which means for me somewhat chaotic in that i will enjoy seeing how some experiments turn out, but also practical in that i do want some known returns so not all new plantings are from experimental seeds.

probably could see some of the reflection of itself and that color moving for sure would have gotten it's attention... :) i remember as a kid how my Great Grandma's tweety bird would spend a lot of time looking into a little mirror they had in it's cage.

just looking at the current national radar whch shows a band of moisture being drawn up through NM towards the NW (a very unusual direction for the weather to travel) into CO which desperately needs the moisture, i sure hope it delivers... looks like it will really help NM water situation too...
