Since we're moving this year and likely right in the middle of garden season I have been debating whether to do a Minimal Garden or the Normal Garden. Settled on Enormous Garden (All the Things) and I guess whoever buys my house will get all my tomatoes. 🍅
Shown here: tomatoes x4 varieties, peppers x2, cabbage, broccoli x 2, cauliflower x3, kale, kohlrabi, parsley, bok choy x 3, red and green onions, lettuces x 3, mustard greens, sweet peas, snap peas. whooo!

Celebrated my two-year cancerversary this week by getting shot up with radioctive sugars and lying in a PET scan for an hour. Next week I'll find out if I got a good present or a bad one. 🤞🏻

@npub1k9m…tej5 I was trying to connect a 1st generation ipod (firewire) to a current mac laptop.

@npub1k9m…tej5 Yeah I had to buy one of those a few months ago. Hard to find. They're hard to find, and there are no reliable 3rd party options. ☹️

I cannot date this, but apparently some time in the distant past (possibly 80’s?) the International Harvester tractor company used punch cards for inventory and parts ordering.

Me, reading on the internet: Cats don't like peppermint, so you can put peppermint essential oil on stuff to keep cats away from it.
Me, the next day: (applies peppermint essential oil to the doorway where Minna screams for no reason half the night)
Minna: (approaches the doorway *while I'm standing there*, sniffs the peppermint bottle, takes a big lick.)
Internet: 0
Cat: 1

A TRAGIC STORY #Gardening
The other day I was out in the garden messing about with the compost, sifting, sorting, moving stuff around. And there was a big vine-like root that was getting in the way so I pulled at it and pulled and pulled and finally got it loose enough away to push it aside.
And it was a hot day and I was working hard so I was also regularly wiping sweat off my face, off of my neck.
So anyhow apparently that viny root was, unrecognizably at the time, poison oak. 😬

I have a bit of a hunch that I messed up the labels again and that this plant is not a white dahlia called 'Fleurel’.

The one nice thing about women posting about the awful toxic reply-guy culture on mastodon is that you can go through the replies, find the people who prove the argument, and block them. block block blockity block, buh-bye! 🤗

Oh thank you, random stranger, for splaining to me what the internet was like before the year 2000. (plonk)
