Flowers around the yard

[losech]

Started some more veggies today cause why not. I'm trying out succession planting determine tomatoes and pickling cucumbers as well as attempting to grow some southern head lettuce and see how that does as we go into summer. These will hangout inside until they get their first leaves then they'll move outside to the yard/deck. Once the garlic is harvested in another month or so I will plant the tomatoes in that bed and the cukes are probably going into a box I want to build. Lettuce will be in deck pots where it will get a good bit of shade to hopefully stop bolting.

Happy Pride! Not only is the 20% off Gay Discount back at Campfire Collars for the entire month of June, but I've added Pride collars and leashes! This material is a little different than my usual stuff, it is sumblimated polyester webbing so it's slightly thinner and the pattern is on both sides. Check them out on Etsy!

Dogs are fun.

Ember didn't knock this panel out, her idiot son did, but she sure thought the new gap was interesting.

Dogs were obsessed with something by the fence so I wandered over to see this idiot baby trying to climb in. Took it a while to give up on the fence and scurry over to a tree.

Yardening. Stuff is starting to take off.

Bean Hike!

We haven't gone on an actual hike for a while, just walks around the neighborhood and woods. Caught some fish at the end.

That's just where The Bean likes to be.

Ember assisting with garage cleanup by laying on shit I need to put away and chewing a rib bone that's been sitting in the corner since November.

No strawberry rhubarb jam.

Seems like all the rhubarb jam I see for sale has strawberry in it. I do like strawberries but I don't want them in everything, especially something that's not common like rhubarb. So I got a bag of stalks from a local lady and made my own. It's way better than the stuff that's been adulterated with strawberries and is excessively sweet.

Four half pints and one pint of rhubarb jam.

Cinder you are less likely to get soup if you glare at me about it.

"ai is the future" says someone whose sport depends on snow.

I've seen so many races canceled for lack of snow/too much rain, some outright disbanded since they just keep canceling. There isn't going to be dogsled/dryland racing for much longer if we keep killing the environment and ai datacenters are definitely not helping that. Nothing about generative ai is necessary, it's just being pitched to you like it is because rich fucks want a return on their investments.

Accidentally made this stump planter huge. Right now it's only got a few plants and some flower seeds in it.

How to use weeds to make boring pasta into ~*Fancy Pasta*~

Collect weeds. I used stinging nettle that I allow to grow by my strawberry bed for this reason. You can use whatever edible weeds you have available to you, there are tons.

Make pasta of choice. Mine is alfredo pene but you can use literally any pasta and any sauce.

Wash, chop, and wilt your weeds while pasta is cooking. I added minced garlic and a couple ramps to my wilted weeds.

Mix weeds into sauced pasta of choice and enjoy your now ~*Fancy Pasta*~
