My poor hen. Egg so big it will not fit into the egg cup and there's no way the lid will close on the carton. Weighed in at 108 g which is more than double the size of a large egg. I feel like I need to take her something as a goodie cuz damn that was some work!

Saving the blooms that I could before the eminent freeze. Hopefully I've cataloged them better than I did last year. I had 85 ft of dahlias. Hopefully I can double that with division.🌱 #spokanegardener

This MF right here. This is why we cannot have nice things. This is why we continue to choose the bear. This is why this world will never change as long as pedophile advocates continue to have a voice

We are slated to get a freeze sometime this weekend. Managed to get one 90 ft row of cherry tomatoes and half of the pepper row. 2morrow I'll harvest chilies, eggplants & 2 other rows of tomatoes. I probably still have 500 lbs of tomatoes to pick. Running out of time...and space #spokanegardener 🌱

'Sad But True'
I firmly believe firing Fed Chair Jerome Powell will be the last stop on the autocratic autobahn we’ve all been barreling down these last nine months, with a drug-addled madman behind the wheel.

The irony of this entire situation: if he hadn't leaked his investigation of Hillary Clinton before the election, and preemptively judged her in the public sphere, he might not be in this position where he is being preemptively judged...

MAGA wins because they exploit the problems that Establishment Democrats ignore. That's the pattern we have to break if we're going to get anywhere.

As if things aren't depressing already, 4 biggest sewing pattern producers have been bought out by liquidator. It's already a challenge enough to find non-AI patterns, it's only going to get worse. The original parent company also distributed boye. Joanns is just the beginning #sewing #garments

I found what I think is a little woodpecker feather on our patio. I showed it to each one of our four cats and you would think I was holding the actual bird because they went feral instantly and are now following me around trying to figure out where the feather is so they can kill and eat it. #cats

We use paper ballots already.

We rescued this pretty little baby from my water meter box. I found it, and hubby was able to retrieve it and set it free. Yes I know what kind of snake it is. Yes we set it free. It didn't want anything to do with us it just wanted out and to slither away.🌱 🐍#spokanegarden

Sweet Fern has perched with her whole self on top of what was a squeaky nosed squeaky hooked dog toy from the sweet girl we lost in 2020. Didn't have the heart to get rid of it and now she has adopted it.🐈

I don't care what any recipe author has to say. If it calls for citrus juice, use all of the citrus zest first in your recipe. All of it! You will not regret it! It also prevents waste of a valuable aromatic seasoning.

My tomatoes are loaded but not ripe yet. one eggplant determined not to get longer than it's current 5". Garlic harvested and hung for curing. Shallots and pink onions really looking promising. Not going to think about all of the weeds out there. Oh and DAHLIAS #spokanegardening🌱

#lavender🌱 I'm planting large quantity of lavender in a field from cuttin ga off parent stock I bought 20+ years ago. Searching plant/height online info of 12-18" makes me doubt my varieties! My Munstead is a giant almost 6' in diameter & dwarfs a kids swimming pool. Same with my Provence & Grosso.
