New to my feeder this spring - a pair of Northern Flicker woodpeckers! 😍
#birds #birding #birdsky

I made it from a pot and a water catcher 🤣

Planted out some peas before leaving town. Everyone cross your fingers for them

Rhubarb poking up now!

3 garlics are up. Hoping for much more.

It's just me but *gestures around* I'm growing just in case this year

Spent most of the day trying to figure out a planting plan. Trying to stuff as many pumpkins & winter squash as I have seed for is getting tricky!
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

I'll add it to my list to try next year!!

ROFL 🤣 It's another big chocolate tomato 😁

Oh I absolutely freeze! Also they are my favorite pick and snack in the garden!

I sure sure hope so!!

YUUUUP. That's why I have brassicas and peas ready to go out this year instead lol

Oh I'm an 80s baby kid too. I can't forget Irish Spring if I try! 🤣🤣🤣

Welp it certainly can't hurt!!

I've also ordered 4 more plants from Burpees - 3 varieties I ordered from them last year as well: Costa Rican, Thunderbolt, & Corno di Toro. The 4th is Banana Boom. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

The only two peppers with the slightest heat are a Burpees Poblano named 'Big Boss Man' (ordered as a plant not from seed) and this habañero from Territorial seeds 'Mild Thing'. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok I have planned for 4 "Not hot" peppers this year (1 is in question): Habanada, Nadapeño, Sweet Cayenne and (the one seedling that is struggling) Sweet Bonnet.

It's like 3 to 1 on peppers vs tomatoes ROFL

Determinate varieties I'm growing to share or just to try because I still enjoy trying new varieties: Tasmanian Chocolate, Sub Artic, Oregon Spring & Plum Regal. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Micro dwarves are: Tiny Tim, Red Velvet & Cocoa. These go in an original pocket in my Greenstalk for visitors who turn 6 & 4 this year to pick ❤️
#VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Indeterminate tomatoes: Chocolate Cherokee, Chocolate Sprinkles, Darkstar, Paul Robeson & two Super Sauce (from Burpees). In 5 years of experimenting I learned the flavor profile I prefer is the Chocolate tomatoes. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A

I have 6 spots in my raised bed for indeterminate tomatoes & when checking what I have this year? I have 6 varieties of indeterminate tomatoes! The rest are micro dwarves or determinates! (For Greenstalks & whiskey barrel planters)

WHY AREN'T SQUIRRELS THIS EASY DAMNIT!

Is 26 varieties of peppers (with no hot ones) too many for one backyard gardener? Asking for a friend that is absolutely me. 🤣
