Harvest from our little cherry tree. We harvest them before they fully ripen because my wife is mildly allergic to cherries and can only eat them before skin of the fruit fully darkens.

Plants have been a comfort amid chaos over the last year. From starting seeds under a grow bulb, to growing berries and vegetables in containers, to overwintering a few indoors to keep them going.... it's been a learning experience. I've enjoyed being in one place enough to tend to them and watch what makes them happy day to day.

These peppers were last summer's breakout success: seeds set aside from a CSA pepper the previous summer suddenly turned into four vigorous plants in a 4L container, and then in an 18L box. It was enough to enjoy 8 or so really nice red-green peppers before it slowed down in autumn.

What plants are you starting indoors this month?

A few of our #cucumbers are still growing.
Some large Oregon #snowpeas.
Ongoing soil remediation project is making slow & steady progress. Cardboard, topsoil, compost, woody debris, crushed seashells, seaweed, grass cuttings, leaf mulch are all breaking down together nicely.

Benefits of work from home days, harvesting from my garden on lunch break ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐ŸŒพ๐Ÿˆ

My first #galia #cantaloupe #harvest ๐Ÿฅฐ
It's super juicy, sweet & delicious!

Galia is a type of cantaloupe that's a cross between a cantaloupe & a honeydew. The fruit is light green on the inside, when ripened.
