This guy has seen some things. I found him in a flooded hole. One of his back legs ends at the knee in a pretty gnarly stump. I gave him some #grubblies and a leaf full of water. He did not accept my pity. I’ll try again tomorrow.

You know how sometimes, you’re going to harvest that squash tomorrow but then you work late and forget and then two days later you come back to find it has graduated high school, started working out and got all swole? Now it wants to talk about protein powder and squat PRs? Oops.

The #SpaghettiSquash has been harvested! It was developing a split (uneven rainfall) so I decided it was time! It is almost a full gnome tall and weights 7 pounds, 14 ounces! Yeah squash!

I never have my basket when I need it.

The Garden Inspectors seem fine with the knee high weeds but were very disappointed that the cucumbers are now producing only above the two foot mark. I heard grumbles of “elitist” and “bull…” from these two as they returned empty beaked.

This is not my prized #spagettisquash. It is from a little further down the vine and I hadn’t realized it was being attacked. Those smug little worms headed straight for their holes when confronted. Cowards.

I think it is almost time to harvest my giant #spagettisquash! It has turned golden yellow and my fingernail does not easily penetrate the skin. I am now just waiting for the stem to turn a little brown. If I harvest too early it won’t noodle well and that would be a major #gardeningfail.

Made some quickles. I seem to have added ALL the salt. They are now resoaking in water to draw out the salt. Tomorrow will have to be quick enough.

I forgot again. Must check the #okra every day. I wonder how big they would get? Is this a zucchini situation? Will I get an okra bat?

Um, Bryce? Your neck is a corner? Does anyone else have a hybrid chicken-giraffe?

Recipes that call for one cup of zucchini are a joke. I’m going to quadruple whatever it says and then probably toss in the remainder.

The Thing I Did Not Plant is having another fantastic year! Transplanted for the fifth time in as many years, to some poor soil with not nearly enough sunshine, then shredded by hail, it has produced the best flowers yet! Meanwhile, the #FiddleleafFig I’ve been doting on inside seems to throw more leaves on the floor every time I look at it.

Harvest! I’m going to need some new eggplant recipes.

This is what is happening with my Spaghetti Squash / Leyland Cypress hybrid plant. Swipe for the telestrated image. Next step: world domination.

The are Nope Bugs. As in “Nope. Can’t live here.” They got squished. I feel no remorse.

After a few months off, we’re back to having his and hers convertibles. Jesse just bought this fairly rare ’94 E320 cabriolet. I’m already looking for a set of 17in monoblocks for it. #w124 #a124 #mercedes #convertible #cabriolet #unimog404 #unimog #mercedesbenz

The garden inspectors have reviewed the work that I did extracting melon for human consumption and ruled that I was slightly too thorough. Next time I will do a worse job so more is left for the pre-compost cleaning crew.

Thank you for the beautiful flowers @shadygrovefarmstead! If you live in the #Gwinnett, Georgia area they are now hosting a small market at @slowpourbrewing in downtown #Lawrenceville on Tuesdays from 5-8. Flowers, berries, veggies, goat cheese from @cattywampus.acres47, what else could you need?

I eat okra raw. That’s how I like it. Young, tender pods, dipped in a little ranch. They taste like crunchy green beans and have excellent texture. I would also slice them for salads. The infamous slime appears when they are cooked so this avoids that entirely.

Kahlo and I would like to announce that we are at 0% broody. It took 6 days of being locked out of the nesting areas but everyone is now back in circulation. Kay does not want to hear anything about her food boob. It was a heavy snack day.

I planted some flowers in my vegetable garden to encourage pollinators. This one says “deer resistant” but did not mention bunnies, squirrels, chipmunks or other visitors. Let’s see!

I cannot overstate the giantness of this #spagettisquash! It’s starting to turn yellow and harden up. I hope it makes it to harvest!

Look! I grew an okra! I don’t particularly like okra but the plants looked really cute at the nursery so now I have two. I find it hilarious that they grow up into the air. I expected they would hang down like peppers.

Garden progress photos! The #spagettisquash are out of control! The vines are climbing the #leylandcypress and I think they are a good 20 feet in the air! Deer ate the cucumbers so we’re working on some regrowth there. The #eggplant and #zucchini are doing very well. Most of my #tomatoes are very over-watered with all the thunderstorms we’ve had so I had to pull a few rotten plants and started a few new plants on higher ground. The #asparagus forest is busy storing energy for next year and there is probably just a week of blueberries left.

Are my broodies cured after 3 days of being locked out? Not even close.
