23 will be home this week from summer semester. She LOVES a shrimp Caesar salad, so I have been growing this Lacinato Kale just for her and cannot wait to make her salad. Instead of croutons, I toast bread crumbs with butter and garlic! 🌱

Because of the deluge of rain we have gotten the last few days, the garden is growing WILD! However, it is way too wet to prune and be out there touching stuff, so I'm going to let it run free for a few days. We may get a yield of quinoa after all...🌱

To all of my plant people who gave me much-needed advice to help rehabilitate these peace lilies my friend received from her mother's funeral...THANK YOU!!! They are recovering well and I will return them in September. Both re-potted and hopefully happy!🌱

I wanted to rest and do my homework on this Saturday. My internet line has been cut THREE times this week, and Duke Power has had crews on site because the street light outside my house blew and they cannot fix it...bucket trucks and everything! ...

In good garden news...bok choy is my salad green of choice, and this new planting is growing well (even in this heat!). The Swiss chard and green beans like the garden tower, and my lime tree is really showing out! Adding more onion sets to the tower for round two.🌱

I work a full time job, a part time job, and I am in school. I have one area of my garden that needs new fencing, grabbing it in the morning because I literally have not had time to get it. In the meantime, clearly my arch nemesis was hungry last night...🌱
