Late Summer Garden Walk (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well hello, dear reader. Welcome to September! I had been sharing these garden walk letters on the full moons, but the full Sturgeon Moon, the blood moon, and eclipse has passed us by. I took photos, but obviously, didn’t get around to publishing. I discovered something important about myself this past month. August made me lazy as fuck and I just. couldn’t. manage. to sit in front of a computer. I haven’t fully felt the back to school energy that early fall usually brings, but I had to close so
The Parthenocarpic Pickles (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Hello, dear reader! Last year, I planted cucumbers, as I always do. But, I got no cucumbers, thanks to some little asshats known as cucumber beetles.If you don’t know these guys, then let me introduce you (despite the fact that you don’t want to know them.)

The End of Pea Season (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I harvested the last of my peas last week, officially declaring it the end of pea season. With the summer heat, the end comes to the peas. The vines are starting to yellow, and any flowers buds remaining have been dried to a crisp. There are still a few pods left on the vines, but I’m leaving those to dry to save for planting next year.<a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!gFXP!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-po
