RIP all my okra crops. I received a crash course on "fusarium wilt," a fungus that doesn't show up until it's hot and your okra's about to pop off and bless you with pods. The plant goes from in its lane and thriving to half yellow and dead FAST. Always fatal 😔 Gardening is hardddd wtf

Update on this plant: It dropped all but 5 flowers. Three of the flowers became bells. Those were pretty good. ...The bells at the store were 60cent each the other day. Don't grow a bell pepper plant.

The bell pepper is... existing. Looking like it's on death's door as always. But I just harvested its very first pepper today. It's delicious. :) There's 20+ flowers on it now and it's getting taller quickly. So it must be healthy? Just really depressed/mad about it.

[Growth] I love sunflowers. To an obsessive degree. I'm so happy to have a garden now to be able to plant and host these beautiful horrifying monstrosities (fyi sunflowers can get up to 14ft tall LIGHTNING FAST)

I wrote a post about attempting to make long-lasting “merch” at home. It’s… a process. Long. Expensive. But weirdly fun and fulfilling? www.patreon.com/posts/159111...

This month's sticker drop + postcard choices :) I don't mention it enough lol but I have a sticker club! Joining is available thru patreon or my website gdbee.store/pages/sticke...

I got into the artist alley for San Diego Comic Con. I'm heavily considering not going. The weekend sounds genuinely miserable? 4ft of space on 8ft shared table, long hours for 4.5 days, no space behind you. Cheapest hotel a mile away was $3.5k. Heaven help you if you have disabilities. I do lol

Went to walmart for a hydrangea to recreate a kmart hydrangea resurrection event (got one from kmart 10 years ago. It died 3 days later but came back huuuge the next year unexpectedly.) They sold out, but I did purchase a cute bell pepper plant. Seemed fun :) NO. Do not buy a bell pepper plant.

Quick art :)

Chanterelle Haven't used watercolors in a while. I usually have a hard time keeping them blendy without it just becomin a mess. But I switched materials recently, and now they are a joy
