brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Probably should just grow potatos in the ground. When they took out a tree a falling branch smashed my potato pot and managed to pound some into the ground. Purple peruvian fingerlings. #gardening 010

brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Need to figure out where im the ground I need to plant the Green Sapote. Probably near the house for a bit extra heat when its a unusually cold year. #gardening 020
brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 11/05/2026It initially it looked like Id get close to 100% take on bareroot strawberries, but summer conditions in March and the dog destroying the hose/inability to water knocked me down to 50%. Still trying to decide if I should make a tower or not. #gardening 010
brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 11/05/2026Yurine lily batch 1 and 2. Noting maybe some faciation? Maybe it got some radiation at some point? #gardening 010

brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 11/05/2026This one usually has a cinnamon taste but a bit overwatery this time. Usually ripening in July so maybe arch heat then rains messed with it. Unknown Ice Cream Bean (Inga sp.) #gardening 010
brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 09/05/2026Ah OK. My winter is a Northern California winter without frost now usually. 000

brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 08/05/2026Edible lilies getting some size. First batch, a second batch started a few weeks later then the very last two I got in dirt. #gardening 000

brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Maybe this density is ok if I fertilize enough? Going to put thin bamboo stakes in and tie string around it. Ulluco "Tatsolo". #gardening 010
brianlavin.bsky.social @brianlavin.bsky.social · 27/04/2026The edible Yurine lilies are definitely going to be my new project. #gardening 010
