Put #philobrasil water props in soil this week, got a new tattoo…

In the grand scheme of things, it isn’t much 🤷‍♀️

It’s something, though.

Do you have any tips for soil composition of this piece? I’d like to do something similar with rosemary.

I love that gardeners trade food.

If you grow anything edible and have a knack for it, inevitably you will have far too much of said thing (in my case, basil) and suddenly everyone is getting little bags of basil and tomatoes and radishes and…

Bonsai-coded humans. Those who live in acute awareness of the pruning and trimming and the confines of a way too small growing space that they’re subject to so when they see a bonsai, they immediately vibe to both the struggle and the resilience.

Thursday in a nutshell-

I sanded and repainted a derelict #chalkboardsign at work.

I used foraged native #blackberries in muffins and fed them to my coworkers.

I trimmed my #perennialgarden and saw a #monarchbutterfly on the #butterflybush 🦋

Grateful 🥰

It was a seven-step process, and the most critical part for me was really figuring out how to scrape all those little hairs and seeds out. A vintage butter knife had the perfect spade shape for scooping, and then I had to get the motion right… it was a whole thing 😅

And the rosehips, and the red clover, and the milkweed, and the…

I went for a walk in the woods today, and harvested some jewelweed while I was at it.

A simple pencil drawing of a cartoonish portrait of a man smoking a corn cobb shaped pipe. The vintage graffiti is on a Greek column in one of the Ellis Island building hallways.

Vintage 1940s-1960s bathroom hardware. A mirror is slanted away from the wall at the top and held in place by a one point hinge. The bathroom is tiled white with a checkered border near the ceiling. There is a dome wall sconce to the left of the mirror.
