Monday Garden Porn – “Sorry About That” Edition

Monday, August 10th, 2009

Yeah, it’s been a while. I’m taking my giant comprehensive exams in 32 days and have been working a lot, so not so much with the time to blog.

Anyway, here’s some garden porn! Things are growing! Vegetables are being produced! Life is wonderful!

Another eggplant! I've already picked two this season.

I planted these jalapenos almost as an afterthought... and now I'm really glad I did. They look wonderful. (Click to embiggen.)

Monday Garden Porn – Unexpected Edition

Monday, July 6th, 2009

I was going to have some guest garden porn today, as I thought I was flying home to my parents’ house in Michigan this morning to spend a week visiting up there, but when I got to the ticket counter at BWI it turned out that my ticket was in fact for tomorrow. That’s something that would have been good for me to notice before I woke up at 5:45 to go to the airport, but things being what they are, I’m going to make the most of it. Expect some garden porn from my parents’ garden later this week.

The first Anaheim pepper. Thanks to Evelyn for giving me this seedling! (Click to embiggen.)

One of my eggplants is starting to come in. Soon I'm going to have to find a good recipe that uses eggplant. Incidentally, baby eggplants look like they come from another planet. (Click to embiggen.)

The bell peppers are coming in too! I wish I could remember what specific kind they are, but I really can't. (Click to embiggen.)

The plum tomatoes are growing. Fresh, garden-picked salsa is only a few weeks away. (Click to embiggen.)
