I didn't hear about that racist asshole in town. I was too busy buying books and eating food at the Midwest Black Book Fair with beautiful Black readers over North. The picture isn't a great representation but the event was packed out, there were prizes, panels, libraries and local Black bookstores.

A reminder to be better at labeling your plants than me because I was certain this was a cantaloupe until I cut it just now... But also it has cantaloupe skin?! Also this is the best honeydew I've ever had.

Yesterday's harvest at the farm. I'm getting a little overwhelmed by the tomatoes.

A bucket ~1/6 full of tomatoes to the left of the bench. Thai basil, thyme, oregano on the left of a stone bench. A couple cucumbers. A variety of tomatoes in the middle of the bench with scattered snacking peppers and mint and parsley on the right side of a bench

Just got the email for the Taylor Fresh Foods recall.

Recall - Because of Possible Health Risk

TOPIC: Iceberg Lettuce from Central Mexico by Taylor Fresh Foods: Recall - Because of Possible Health Risk
AUDIENCE: Consumer, Patient, Health Care Professional, Gastroenterology

ISSUE: Taylor Farms de Mexico of Guanajuato, Mexico is removing all iceberg lettuce sourced from central Mexico from the U.S. market, because it has the potential to be contaminated with Cyclospora. This action was prompted by the multistate Cyclospora outbreak https://www.fda.gov/food/outbreaks-foodborne-illness/investigation-5-state-outbreakcyclospora-illnesses-iceberg-lettuce-july-2026. We are actively removing the implicated products. The company has stopped receiving product from the implicated lot, suspended distribution of the iceberg lettuce from Central Mexico, notified our customers, and we are continuing to work with the FDA, CDC, and state authorities.

The shredded iceberg product was distributed June 29th through July 16th in AL, AR, CT, FL, GA, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, MO, MS, NC, NH, NJ, OH, OK, PA, SC, TN, TX, VA, and WI.

For more information about this recall and the complete list of affected products, click on the red button "Read Recall" below.

BACKGROUND: Most people infected with Cyclospora develop diarrhea, with frequent bowel movements. Other common symptoms include loss of appetite, weight loss, stomach cramps/pain, bloating, increased gas, nausea, and fatigue. Vomiting, body aches, headache, and fever may be noted.

Some people who are infected with Cyclospora do not have any symptoms. If not treated, the illness may lead to dehydration and severe complications that may require higher levels of care. These complications may last from a few days to a month or longer. Symptoms may seem to go away and then return one or more times (relapse). Immunocompromised persons may experience more severe illness of longer duration along with complications requiring close medical attention.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

It's been too hot and smoky to do serious maintenance but look how everything is progressing. We are harvested and curing the garlic to be ready for market and have maybe 15 spaghetti squash. We're planning on cleaning up this week since it seems like we're getting a break from the heat midweek.

So this is my first time growing zucchini and we left them on the plant to grow for like a week. I guess I'm eating zucchini bread, zucchini fries, zoodles, zucchini fritters and whatever else I can think of. I might even get that zucchini cookie recipe from my friend. I'm open to suggestions.

I took a picture of this fungal growth on one of my beds. It's the same growth growing on either side of the bed. The one on the outside just got wet. There is a mix of compost, mycorrhizae soil, leaves, dead grass, wood chip mulch and some sticks and logs at the very base. What is it? #fungifriends

He literally fits this perfectly. I know it doesn't seem like he fits #6, but a woman is an adult female.

The End Times, the Book of Revelation by Paul Backholer
The Antichrist will unveil his true self as he rises to power. Look out for these twenty signs of the Antichrist from Daniel 11:36-39:

1. He will exalt himself.
2. He will heed his inner voice above others.
3. He will be hostile toward the true God.
4. He will exalt human logic above faith.
5. He will prosper for a season and be loved.
6. He will not desire women.
7. He will not follow the faith of his fathers.
8. He will viciously persecute Jews and Christians.
9. He will think of himself as greater than God.
10. He will become increasingly lawless.
11. He will honour military power above faith.
12. He will love wealth.
13. He will hoard precious things.
14. He will become a man of war.
15. He will wage a war on all people of faith.
16. He will force Israel to ratify a treaty.
17. He will divide Israel and Jerusalem.
18. He will invade Jerusalem.
19. He will enter the restored Temple.
20. He will declare himself above God.

Antichrist is the false messiah. He is the rotten gift for those who reject the true Messiah. Those who spurn the Christ will get what they asked for: the false Christ. He is their punishment. In the meantime, the Restrainer is powerful enough to suppress the spiritual powers of darkness seeking to promote the Man of Sin.
