Hey! Talking a little about why you should preorder THE CALAMITIES (tl;dr, preordering books is good, but also, you get some cool stuff if you preorder from my local, @doylestownbookshop.bsky.social). Tell everyone! EVERYONNNNNE. /garyoldman

Picked my first tromboncino squash. I hope they are tasty because I've got a lot of them coming in!

A little bouquet from the garden. The astilbe didn't last very long, but the coreopsis and daisies did.

My purple broccoli is starting to head-up. This is the first time growing it in a protected raised bed. I gave up on anything in that plant-family due to the cabbage moths. But the covers for these raised beds are working out great.

I woke up this morning with Ravel's Bolero in my head. The loud part. What's up with that?

I bought this iris a couple of years ago and it's taken its time acclimating to the edge of my rain garden. Finally blooming!

I chased a little bunny around my vegetable garden 2 days in a row. I couldn't figure out how he got in. Then he ran thru the fence! He's so little he fit thru the fencing. I've got to get some chicken wire up there quick before he discovers the crops in the raised beds.

The squash is really going to town! Fingers crossed that I get a few before the borers decimate them. I love pattypan because they look like flying saucers. (and taste good). There is also a couple of trombocino squash in there. Supposedly they are immune to borers.
