Three stages of lemons on my little tree. Flower, small one still redish-brown, and a yellow one.

I am sick to the bone by all the authoritarian lies. Need to be more in my garden, hands in the ground 💚

Final time to work out the 2025 gardenplan. I have a 6 year rotationsystem that work’s well for me.
I did write about it in 2021, but it’s every year (sort of) the same:

It’s a re-creation from this York sock to keep my feet warm during my 9th century reenactment persona. I loved making them!

Sewed a little Viking drakar from leftover felt and such… A good way to scare away some dark thoughts.
