Dude, my #pineapple is getting so big! This #plant is about 2.5 years old and I started it from the top of a store bought pineapple. About a month ago, the fruit was just a strange looking little flower thing!

I'm slightly obsessed with this chunky little wild #olive tree a week or two ago from Cen Cal #bonsai

After 6 years of growing trees in pots, I finally put my #olive tree into my first #bonsai pot!

Here's my #vanilla bean #orchid that I recently transplanted. I think I've had it for about 3 years. It was about 3 feet long when I got it, now it's about 9 or 10 feet long! It was living in my fiddle leaf fig, but it needed its own home!

My very first Missouri grown #coffee beans! Only about 7 grams or 1/4 oz of beans, so perhaps a half cup of coffee of what will probably be the worst coffee I've ever had!

I've had St. Francis the #olivetree for almost exactly 6 years now and I'm finally getting it to bloom! One step closer to #Missouri grown #olives!

I live in a fairly cold climate, so this tree will live its whole life in a pot as somewhat of a #bonsai tree.

Wow, my #vanilla bean #orchid has tripled in length! It's about 9 feet long now. It got evicted form my Fiddle Leaf because the tree needed to be repotted. Now I need to figure out what to do with the vine!

I didn't find as many #morels as I would have liked, but like fishing, anytime you find at least some #mushrooms, it's a good day. #leatherman #multitool

Best. Cat. Ever. If I'm sitting down, miss Alex is on my lap. If I'm laying down, she's on my legs. #cat #standardissuecat

Well, that's sad: #permaculture icon Curtis Stone has gone full #nazi. Apparently White Nationalism is now a permaculture idea!

The first year I started planting asparagus I just happened to look up the hill and saw a plant that looked JUST LIKE my little asparagus fronds. As it turns out, asparagus grows wild near roads where I live and I have a few wild asparagus plants on my property! This one was bigger than my thumb.

The first #asparagus spear of the season! My oldest plants are now 4 years old so I expect a pretty good harvest this year! #gardening

An update for the olive tree that took a tumble during a storm: the pot has been glued back together! I know it's not the prettiest job in the world, but I kinda like it. I wonder how long it'll last? Don't worry, it was moved somewhere safe right after the photo. #olive #olivetree #bonsai

Mine also just started coming up! Here's one that randomly decided to grow in the middle of my yard.

Wow, have you ever seen #eggs this beautiful before? I'm not sure I have....

Humpty dumpty had a great fall.

Welp, this is heartbreaking. I wasn't expecting to make an update for my Arbiquina Olive tree this soon. Well it blew over and broke the pot. I guess this is another reason spherical pots kind of suck. #olive, #olivetree, #bonsai, #windy

What a difference a year can make!

My Arbiquina had a really rough winter last year and lost about 60 percent of it's leaves. A haircut, one growing season and one winter later and this tree has never looked better!
