Cabbage worms!!! 😫 🌱

🌱 Blooming Hibiscus in our garden.

Kind reminder that you’re allowed to be really bad at plant care. It’s the only path (that I know of anyway) to getting good at it. 🌱

I found a ladybug and two larvae on my nasturtiums!!!! 🌱

Had a bit of a meh feeling evening so got up early and tacked the garden before it got too hot. Sometimes you just gotta get you hands in some soil and do some hard graft outside. That and the sunshine and mood already improving. 🌱

🎤🐝🌱 Finally found some time to edit the recording of the bee swarm we had in our garden last month. If you ever wondered what approximately 10000 honeybees packed together sound like, this is your chance.

The cucumber vines are completely indifferent about which way they grow, but the birds are unanimous that the cucumber trellis is the best thing ever. 🌱 #gardening

It’s Haskap time! We have just three good sized bushes in our front yard, two Borealis and one Aurora, and we managed to pick about three pounds from the Borealis bushes without trying that hard (we tend to leave the Aurora for the local bird population).

I finally got all the gif stuff into a single place! 🎉 🌱 https://grepjason.sh/gifgarden

🌱 Found a great place for the apple tree I got gifted by my students last week for summer break. Let‘s hope it grows, prospers, and provides delicious fruit!

Today's challenge: brighten the timeline by posting a picture of your plant(s). Here's the little swiss cheese that lives on my desk on lamp light 🌱

The forecast says 50% chance of rain. I watered the garden. Neighbor cleaned up the swimming pool. Think that will be enough to make it happen? #gardening 🌱

Well, it’s June, and that means it’s time to thin the ol’ apple tree. I knew it’d be a big job–after landscaping trauma she’s in a boom-bust cycle, and this year is a big one–but wow. Four hours and a full 20L pail later…

🌱

First rainfall since June 5th. I’ll take it. #gardening 🌱
