Posted on June 5, 2022June 5, 202206/05/2022 indoor/outdoor I learned today that spiderworts are self-incompatible, so these buds didn’t have any seeds in them. Oh well. It was worth a try! Thanks Mom for sending and prompting me to look this up! It explains why we only have the one. 🙃 I repotted the aloe vera (not shown) and added some more dirt and another succulent to this pot, which lives inside in the entryway shelf. Milkweed beetle! It’s standing on a dayflower and moving over to a nightshade, though. Ashy Sunflower yet lives!! Linum rigidum from home still blooming. It’s annual so I hope it seeds! A different jumping spider. A lightning bug resting on a native poinsettia (Euphorbia) leaf.

Posted on August 18, 2021August 21, 2021Assorted stuff Three hours to harvest and sort all this. First canning tomato variety fruit. I can’t remember which one, I need to look at spreadsheet. The marker is buried in dirt. Update: is Amish Paste tomato. Grass seeds did not wash away in rain. Whew. Intruder alert!! Possibly the frass of the offending hornworm??? Loofah gourd flower disintegrated in rain. A jewel of rain on succulent.
