My farm dog is a chihuahua

She's a good girl

My single cherry tomato plant is now a foot taller than the coop roof

I did not know they could do that

I'm not sure what you are

But you're fucking adorable

Silly frog. You're not a green bean

It took the raccoons less than 12 hours to figure out the new compost bin.

Why are their hands always so muddy?

Song sparrow built a nest in my box of deer netting 😅

First large (not cherry) tomato to ripen!

I chose celebrity tomato for its heat tolerance. SC summer is no joke

I didn't realize the lemongrass I planted in front of my peppers gets 4ft tall nor that the lemon balm spreads so prolifically. Had to transplant

So I replaced them with cilantro

This is "Three Mountaineers" herb and spices cabinet. Made in NC in 1960s and 1970s

This one was bought new by my mother. But you can still find them for sale for $40-$500

Got a spot of hard packed sand where nothing grows? Plant lavender!

Lavender hates rich soil and mulch. Leave it alone and watch it thrive

We're taught that yards should be kept neat and tidy. But wild greenspaces are so important for wildlife

My sister has a brown thumb, but a kind heart. So I've been given some fruit trees before she killed them. Guess I'm starting an orchard!

There are 2 varigated pink lemons and a loquat.

I'll never get over the beauty of the okra flower

We've come a long way since April 17th
