hi I'm harb and I make comics and illustrations and also look at my plants and cats a lot art tag #harbart husband to @xavilawrites.bsky.social https://patreon.com/harboretum https://harboretum.carrd.co/

guy about to say an incredibly uncool sentence -> sometimes my friends are impressed with how I remember offhand what conditions all my garden plants want but to be honest it's not all that different from memorizing pokemon and their types

good morning two of the three caterpillars have moved to the fennel and the third is on a branch of dill that still has leaves so provided nothing comes by and eats them odds seem pretty alright for them

A black swallowtail caterpillar on a branch of fennela different black swallowtail butterfly caterpillar on another branch of fennel

I'm back I actually started redoing my banner logo and then went down an art video rabbit hole about getting back into art after a hiatus and then made a vgen account because I gotta get back into putting myself out there

hey you know how I had a whole bunch of sungold cherry tomato sprouts in all my planters because the seeds from last year's composted fruits survived the winter. well I think some seeds from last year's better boy also did that because this is definitely not a cherry tomato lmao

what I believe to be a better boy tomato growing on a vine next to a container of sweet million cherry tomatoes

it was actually pretty neat taking care of a bunch of sungolds and giving them away to people. Next year if it happens again it's going to be a tossup whether the sprouts are sungolds or sweet millions and I think that's fun. Cherry tomato gacha

also re: the condition of my hands wrists and arms warranting a second month of OT, I am completely aware of the irony of worrying that it wasn't bad enough to warrant seeing a doctor in the first place lol

man I'm not gonna miss having to go to a medical appointment every single week but I'm gonna miss the appointments themselves. I sit in a chair and learn new facts about muscles & joints and get zapped with what I have since learned is a milder version of the machine that breaks up kidney stones

I feel like at this point I'm not gonna meet the artistic goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year but considering the carousel of bullshit Xochilt and I have been dealing with since January the last thing I need is to be hard on myself about it. Maybe next year

anyway absolutely riveting life update. my ongoing physical therapy for my hands and wrists has led to the discovery that I'm hypermobile which is. okay. guess that's Another Thing I should look into
