IG: Came back from 5 days in Ohio to my first zucchini baby (which happens to be in my milk crate garden)! Plus most of my other plants that had like doubled in size. Crazy how fast growth can accelerate all of a sudden. What a wonderful welcome home ?????‍?. Tonight I harvested a massive head of lettuce and some “baby” pak choy which were HUGE (giant babies?). So grateful for Jeff for taking care of everything so wonderfully while I was away. So much life magic! ✨p.s. I grew this plant from my mom’s hand-collected organic seed stash, so it’s extra magical; I feel her spirit here @promixgardening

IG: My international raised bed garden is coming along nicely, especially considering a) it gets very little attention, AND b) it was planted at the end of April, after which, there was frost! This is the “mystery squash” bed where I planted some of the squash seedlings (totally unknown type) that grew themselves out of the compost pile. This is about 1/10th of the actual seedlings that came up hahaha. I totally see my mom here, because she grew the most kickass squashes (among so many other things), and apparently continues to do so! ???‍???almost all of the other beds have thriving squash in them, and a bunch I didn’t even plant– so this year I’ve totally accepted it as a squash farm, featuring a few guest vegetables. Much of the time with gardens as with life, you just have to go with the flow. Amen to that

Top left is GretcHEN’s and bottom front is LilliHEN’s (our two “Red Star” breed hens). I’m not there to enjoy this eggcitement but Jeff sent me this pic and filled me in. So awesome ?????????

IG: Update: it might be a dock spider?! • • • • • • • • • • • Purely due to curiosity, anyone know what kind of spider this is? It was living under one of my deck railing planters and is by far the biggest spider I’ve ever seen in the city… ??? p.s. I foresee this photo getting the least amount of likes

IG: This goof… it’s his birthday today. And I don’t even know where to start. He is a fucking gem. The most giving, loving and honest person I know. His humour, wit and spot-on analogies (seriously, they’re so good) kill me. He builds me stuff. He holds me when I’m sad. He looks into my eyes and tells me I’m beautiful all the time (and it never gets old). His smile makes my heart completely melt. He is the kind of genuine person we need way more of. Today, I feel so much gratitude that he exists (yeah, thank you for existing, okay?) and that the universe crossed our paths at the exact right time. I’m blessed to call him my man, to be his lady, and for the opportunity to share our lives and experience life’s crazy epic adventures together. Cheers to another wondrous year on this earth–happy birthday Jeffrey, I love you so damn much p.s. Happy birthday to my amazing dad who was also born on this kickass day ??
