I've never had good luck with lettuce until I started using raised beds. This was from a seed mix called Farmers Market Blend, and they are just gorgeous. I also put a Crackerjack marigold (Large) and 2 sweet peppers in to take over when the lettuce is done. #Garden #Gardening #GrowYourOwn

Gorgeous!

Wow.

For the last 2 nights I have dreamt of falling from great heights, and yet landing safely. Not sure what it means. It wasn't a nightmare. Somehow I knew there would be a way to live through it. Maybe just my brain trying to deal with the world as it is, and trying to reassure me that I'll survive.

Invasive, you say? I had no idea... #Garden #Gardening #Flowers

Woohoo! New Iron Druid stories out today! Get thee to thy favorite bookmonger and enjoy! And let your Iron Druid peeps know it’s out, eh?

It must be spring - I have my first case of poison ivy. #Garden #Gardening

The rock cress that I started from seed is really spreading this year. It's up with the daffs, so a nice early one. And the bees are loving it.

Meanwhile, want to support a writer-about-wizards who's (a) been doing it longer than the younger, less experienced writer, and (b) doesn't like ruining people's lives? Try these. (Not if you're in the UK, sorry: Brexit...) bit.ly/YWNMESET

A mystery plant just showed up in the garden. I was about to rip it out as a weed, but it had flower buds on it. I have been trying to fill in spots with wildflowers, so this could be something I tossed into the garden last year. I'll wait until it blooms to decide. #wildflowers #garden

Just broke a reading dry spell by starting Rivers of London. What a great read. Really enjoying it. Thanks Ben Aaronovitch for being such a good writer!

This week has been crazy warm, but I haven't gotten much done in the yard. Between allergies and a very sick cat, I just didn't have the energy.

Cold rhodies with snow hats outside my office window.

The Kickstarter for the last Adventures Dark and Deep supplement (at least for a long time) is now live! Please help me make this book a reality. www.kickstarter.com/projects/brw...

I can't believe I'm posting this video - but we actually have to have a conversation about the real world implications of America going to war over Greenland. Let me walk you through it. It doesn't turn out well for us.

I kept waiting for things to settle down so I could get back to normal. It has finally sunk in that it never will. I need to carry on living my life despite the chaos. Oof that's a hard one.

I've recently become a big fan of the purple veiny ones. This one is a beauty.

Excellent advice. I will try to hold to it.

Pretty!

The other day I woke up with a little tune in my head. It took me a minute to realize it was the jingle the clothes dryer plays when the cycle is done...

First harvest from my indoor garden! White turnips. They were yummy!

Bit of a rant. Saw a discounted ebook in the Bookbub newsletter that caught my eye. I prefer Kobo, so went over there to check for it. Huh...the $1.99 book is #3. Book 1 is $12.99 for the ebook... That's a nope for a new-to-me author. Bummer. #Reading #Bookmarketing

I haven't been writing. Feeling a bit overwhelmed by the shape of the world right now. So I've been hiding in my hobbies - gardening in the afternoon and genealogy in the chilly mornings. It's soothing. But I'm hoping to get back on track soon.

Donated to my local foodbank yesterday. It was something I could do and was meaning to do and finally made it happen. I'll try to give them money every month as long as I can.

My pineapple sage is especially lush this year! #Bloom #Flowers #Garden

Broccolini is an amazing plant. I've had a couple that I've been harvesting all summer.

My Four O'clocks were blooming at 10am. #flower #floweroftheday #garden

Watching Hardacres on Britbox right now with mixed feelings. Part of me is happy it's a cozy. Part of me is raging about the lack of historical accuracy. I'm not a historian, but I've read enough researching my ancestors. It would be so easy to...

Another bad sleep night, so it's a foggy brain day. Tried to wrestle some invasive vines but they're in full sun and it's ridiculously hot out there today. Gave most of the garden a big drink and now I'm thinking about a nap.

Witch King is on sale right now in ebook for 2.99US across various ebook retailers (I don't know if this applies to other countries.) bookshop.org/p/books/witc...

Bertie says Happy #Caturday

This is Mallory. We lost her a few years ago. A very powerful personality. #whiskerwednesday

Today is one of those days where you will always remember where you were when the planes hit. Like assassinations and hurricanes and other major disasters. It stays with you. And people of your generation can ask, "Where were you when you heard?"

Ooh! I actually wrote over 1000 words today! It's been awhile since I've been able to do that. Nice.

Owie. Pulled a muscle yesterday while trying to move a rain soaked bag of mulch. This body is not as strong as it used to be. Sigh. Getting older is full of surprises.

The September list of Self Published Fantasy is here and WOW! What a huge month for releases, including 2 of the biggest names in Dragon Rider fantasy, and a huge month of Romantasy releases, too. Check it out. robjhayes.co.uk/self-publish...

I submitted a short story for an anthology over the weekend. I already had some good bones that I'd put aside awhile ago. The theme seemed right, so I cleaned it up and sent it in. Been awhile since I did something like that.

Don't forget about the DRM-free Humble Bundle from Tor (with Murderbot, Witch King, and more), benefiting World Center Kitchen. The donation is now at over 58,000. It would be awesome to get it up to $100,000. www.humblebundle.com/books/martha...
