An urban homesteader in central USA. I like to post pictures of my garden and talk about anything gardening, cooking, or animal related.
Pictures of knitting projects and books that I'm reading may also be posted.
I harvested two gallons of red potatoes this summer. I really did not expect them to grow that big, that fast!
The garden is proving bountiful this summer! I've got tomatoes, beans, and cabbage all growing very prettily.
It's honeysuckle season in Oklahoma! This bunch actually came with my house, it didn't flower much last year bc I cut it back to the ground. It has tons of flowers this year
I'm having a hard time growing radishes. They come up all leaves and no roots. On the bright side, the leaves taste really good sauteed and put over grits.
Had a wonderful 1st harvest in mid april with celery, chard, mustard greens, and cilantro!
Progress report on the current #knitting project! It's going to be a scarf with a built in hood. 😁
Managed to get my veggies in the garden. They didn't all fit, but I got most of them too. I didn't realize cabbages need so much space O.O
Having a lunch of instant ramen with some strawberry basil water today. I use the shrimp flavored one for it and it came out pretty good once I added some garlic and parsley to the broth packet.

Successfully transplanted some of my seedlings outside! Here's to hoping the thunderstorms don't kill them and that I was able to harden them off enough before thier first night in the cold!
