The other rose bush is blooming too. These are called "Drop Dead Red" Floribunda Roses.

Oh no, what have I done?! 😱🤪 Bought 105 bulbs to plant this fall. 😤 Definitely going to be trying the drill and auger bit method for these! 😂 #GardeningMastodon #bulbs
Found this little bastard (aka hornworm) while picking this evening.
Looks like a Manduca sexta (Carolina Sphinx). #Gardening #GardeningMastodon #hotpeppers #bugstodon #bugs

It's cool this morning. Autumn is coming, but I'm determined to squeeze every last 80°+ F #summer day out of the season. Many plants coming to the end of their life cycles, while others are almost done creating their one giant squash, watermelon, or pumpkin, and still others readying their big #harvest for one final big picking. #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #Food #BloomScrolling

So at my grocery store we’ve three, maybe four kinds of potatoes... just look at what we’re missing. These are all types of potato still grown in Peru, birthplace of potatoes in general.

Now that’s a carrot worth growing.

The war is over! The squash bugs may have won, but I massacred them all in the end. They didn't see it coming as I had the element of surprise. However, there will be no more zucchini this year. 🤨 #GardeningMastodon
So colorful today. 😋 I think I will make shishkabobs for dinner!

The #heirloom #tomatoes have mostly all been picked, but I noticed the plants have set blossoms in the last few days. 👀 😳🥴 I'm running out of ideas of what to cook! #GardeningMastodon #GrowYourOwn #Food #Harvest

I’ve been reading this article on “Miyazaki forests”. (Gift link below). I’ve heard of them before. Maybe not the panacea they’re made out to be, certainly not for a warming and dissembling planet. We really like solutions that make us feel good about ourselves. And these certainly do. But instead of replanting quarter acre plots at $18k a pop, how about we just stop deforesting to begin with?

I'm 8 days into a little experiment comparing store bought seed starter mix to some unsanitized sphagnum based mix I made.
So far, the difference between the two is stark!

I guess I need to water the #garden... The bottoms of the tomato plants are drying out. Most of the tomatoes harvested. Not sure if they will even put on any more blossoms? 🤔 The rest of the garden could really use a 💧💦🌊🌧🌦🌩💧🌊🪣🚿💦 since we are still stuck in this #HeatDome.

More late-blooming plants in the garden. This is Ligularaia dentata. The first two photos are of cultivar ‘Desdemona’ and the third photo is ‘Britt Marie Crawford’. Big, bold foliage emerges very dark bronze and greens somewhat over the season, then these brilliant orangey yellow blooms appear in late summer that seem so at odds with the broody demeanor of the leaves. Likes moist to wet soil, part shade. USDA zones 4-9.

I didn’t get as many poppies growing this year, but those that have grown look beautiful.

Today’s haul: three biggish tomatoes, a bunch of little ones, and five chicken fruits.
