People say Trumps fans are in a cult, but it seems more like a klan to me

Good morning. These Gazanias are loving spring. 🌱

How do we know when Spring has sprung, seedlings springing Next comes Summers sun 🌱

This is so well done. 👌

Oh! Deer! Not sure who was more surprised

A few carrots from the garden. Only a couple of shorties. I’ll call it a win. 🌱

The White House seems awfully quiet on the new that Cuba killed 4 Americans and wounded several others. Why is the guy who can’t keep his mouth shut suddenly quiet?

Another shot from Bosque Del Apache

Visited Bosque Del Apache yesterday. Very cool spot. Snow geese and Sandhill Cranes winter over there

🌱 December Petunia bloom in 8b. We have a very gradual fall here and some plants seem to have acclimated to light freezes. We’ve been as low as 28 with several nights at 30° In spite of that I still have some peppers and today a Petunia bloom

Anyone else wondering if the Brown University shootings and the murder of a MIT professor are related?

🌱 Probably the last blooms of the season. We’re gonna have a freeze in 8b sooner or later.

About time to head out looking again. Last night just east of Las Cruces off hwy 70. Cars and truck lights on road in foreground

🌱 I think my first try did not post. Here’s a sweet potato I grew weighing in at over 2.5 lbs. They love the summer heat

Finally found out what’s eating my pepper leaves and leaving semi circle bite marks. This is caused by leaf cutter bees. They are beneficial and great pollinators. The “damage” to the plants does not hurt the plants and is far outweighed by the benefits of pollination 🌱

Gomphrena loves the Southern New Mexico climate. 🌱

Bees love passionflowers 🌱

Say hello to my little friend 🌱

Pepper jelly made from red jalapeños, big Jim, and Aleppo peppers I grew from seed. 🌱

🌱 The peppers are coming! I’ll probably make some jalapeño jelly with this batch

Saw these hiking in BC. Someone else says they are Hydnellum caeruleum but those appear to have blue caps whereas these have blue stems. Any mushroom experts know for sure? 🌱

A recent post inspired me to pull up this slow motion video of a hummingbird moth that I shot 2 summers ago 🌱

These Antigua eggplant have been very productive this year. 🌱

This tree, deeply rooted and at the same time, hanging on for dear life is a metaphor for democracy 🌱

RIP Tommy McClain. Seen here performing at C Boys Heart and Soul during SXSW festival in March 2023

🌱 The bees just love this bloom. I believe this is a Yucca Faxoniana. There are probably 20 to 30 bees at a time all day on this bloom. Hopefully they also pollinate my other plants!

🌱 backlit Chocolate cherry sunflower and the sunset behind it.

🌱 First one of the season

🌱 a few pics from the back yard and my plot at the community garden

🌱 interesting blooms on this large bush / small tree at my house. Came with the house so I don’t know the name

🌱 Pretty excited to see my first ever successful rebloom of an orchid and the first Calendula bloom of the season.

Harvested these yesterday. Overwintered in a row tunnel that gives about 7° protection and these made it through lots of nights in low 20’s and a few upper teens 🌱 zone 8b

🌱 Pulled back the row cover on one of my raised beds this morning. Cauliflower is heading up nicely despite a pretty cold January. That’s extra good news since I need that space for pepper and tomato seedlings in a few weeks.

🌱 Sunny warm days are coming. Keep calm and germinate

Sight from another summer. Come on spring!

Four seasons lettuce living up to its name. Low 20’s, and or snow, not phasing it at all

A snowy owl faced snowman is keeping watch on my pansies until it warms back up

The downside of tonight’s hard freeze is that it will take out my peppers and sweet potatoes as well as a few surviving flowers. On the bright side the pots will be replanted with garlic, winter hardy lettuce, and eventually onions. 🌱

Pulled a purple dragon carrot today to see if they were ready to harvest. I was hoping for more length but the girth was nice. Love the color inside. What do you think on the size? 🌱

RIP Louie

Orchid at New Orleans botanical garden, an oft overlooked gem. 🌱

Bleeding heart Amaranth blooms. Love the vibrant stems

🌱 Four seasons lettuce, Little Gem lettuce, and Spinach on the way to lunch! The four seasons lettuce is said to survive freezes down to the single digits. We usually don’t get colder than upper teens so maybe it will survive all winter.

🌱purple dragon and Amarillo carrots, giant radish, sweet potatoes in the fall garden. Far bag has garlic just planted. Zone 8b. Couple of light freezes so far
