Not a big update but here's some pics of what's going on in the back right now
All that vining is sweet potato vines! This was started as an experiment that's gone really well! We've been picking and eating the leaves. Between human consumption and bird consumption So I'd say there's been somewere between 5-13 lbs of leaves and vines consumed. Even if we don't get any tubers this was worth the time space and material it took to try it out. Plus the leaves have a kind of spinach like taste/texture when cooked so it's a double win for us.
The asparagus growing with the sweet potato. In honesty we thought this died during the summer heat so I was very happy to find it growing! ♥️
Side view showing the trellis the sweet potato vines are growing up and over on
And some Moringa trees with a little shot of a background project that will be revealed in the future.
did some backyard renovation while on our roadtrip today and will update the progress on the next post. btw Globetrotter Ch will be post today. owh hi from me 🙋🏻 hope u guys had a great weekend ❤.
aka i’ve never actually used one of the security features on my security camera before tonight
so after i left for work my box of groceries was delivered (thanks fedex you are ALWAYS late) and it’s cold out so whatever, it can stay on my porch tonight, delivered groceries have mostly lasted the night before (last time i had this happen it was SUPER cold and some of the veg got slightly frozen)
tonight the (alleged) dish thief has returned and managed to pry open my grocery box, scaring away the cat in the process. eventually he gave up, leaving for a while. cat came back, then a few hours later the raccoon returned! this time when the cat started to run off it spooked the raccoon too, who ended up leaving first. cat went back into her little house, saved the day, saved the groceries.
the THIRD time the thief came back with a friend, and the cat did not stick around, and they seem very determined to get their little hands on my food, so I used the siren feature on my security camera. amazingly, it worked! i have successfully scared them off twice now, but i might have to keep an eye on the camera for the rest of the night D:
sorry food delivery service, this is an unsatisfactory delivery, it is NOT fuzzy thief-proof, and now my stray porch cat is off somewhere in the snowy cold hiding instead of in her warm cat condo
spent over an hour shovelling snow, I'm so tired. Work got cancelled so it's a snowday! So far in my neighborhood with the blowing snow, we had drifts of over 30cm in spots, that's about 10ish inches, and it's still lightly snowing with blustery winds!

I'll see you in a bit! (꒦ິꈍ꒦ິ) Thank you for the well wishes and patience. Will come back once I can handle looking at a screen for more than 2 minutes!
I currently have seven. 7 whole watermelon seedlings growing in my garden. I am so happy to be alive. If each plant grows one watermelon then I could have seven watermelons...
i'm going crazy. I must care for these plants with my life
Two different views of the tall bed. We're growing sweet potato vines in here along with an asparagus plant that's just barely visible under the vines. The asparagus has been there for a while but we thought it was dead from the heat until about a month ago when it started popping up all over in the area it was planted at.
2nd grow bed with sweet potatoes growing in it. This is closer to where the ducks keep trying to nest at (we have been taking the eggs away since it's too hot and she's not had any success as of yet.)
Current seed starts, no sprouts yet but should see some soon
Fr fr bitch if you don't have The Energy, imbibe large quantities of Magnesium from supplement before sleep. The effect is very real and very magical. You wake up ready to arm wrestle Ares himself and give him a playful slap on the ass after you win
I grew up watching Xena I'd slap Ares on the ass regardless
I actually haven't tried magnesium though so like. Sure, why not, my prescribed meds don't do shit
