  1. It's pouring rain outside. Forecast calls for more rains tomorrow. My rain barrels & buckets will be filled well. Sunshine returns on Wednesday.
    I'll thinning out this large pot, full of mixed carrots & some self seeded tomatoes, on Wednesday morning before going to work. I wasn't expecting that many carrot seeds to germinate. I used a bag of 3 year old seeds to sow this pot.
    I grow all my root vegetables in big pots for easier harvesting. All my yams & potatoes are growing out of large felted bags. I have beetroot & turnips growing together out of a large Rubbermaid bin.

  2. Mom & I picked our first homegrown #strawberries of 2026. Missing from photo are the 22 fruits we ate in yard, while picking them 🍓 They're really sweet & delicious. These are our native strawberries. Our June everbearing ones are about 2-3 times the size of these smaller, native strawberries. The native strawberries are smaller but their taste is much sweeter.

  3. I finished my gardening tasks just before raindrops came. Got most of my thinning done. Got all the cucumbers & cantaloupe seedlings repotted. Transplanted more salad greens & peas.

    Added my perlite/vermiculite mixture & mixed it deep into soil in pots before transplanting/repotting. I scattered some over my soil remediation areas too.

    Time to rest a bit before dinner.

  4. Don't toss/compost your homegrown #PepperLeaves. #Harvest them because they're food. They can be used as herbs substitute if you don't have basil or mints. They can be cooked & eaten. They're nutritious, so start eating your pepper leaves!

    Mom had told me that in her matriarch village, our relations grew & harvested #peppers & #leaves for many generations. It's used in many different Asian cultures as both food & medicine.

  5. Rainbow #SwissChard - we love eating them & grow it year round. I always let at least one plant go to seed. Second photo shows how large the stalk trunk gets - if you keep harvesting from Winter into Summer. That is the plant I'm tapping next year's seeds from 👩‍🌾👍
