@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025some i freeze, but most i dehydrate. i keep a few in a jar, and grind the rest down into a chile sprinkle. all that was only 6 oz so it grinds really well. 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025it did. the flood in that picture was the worst in memory for the folks on my street, and between regrading and the lift, i’ve not had to worry 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025it is! _asclepius tuberosa_. it’s spread a little but only in the areas where i want it anyhow. the meadow near the street is all butterfly and pollinator support, mostly native. 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025black krim tomatoes from the second planting—suckers from the first planting shoved unceremoniously in a free bed with a chopstick—still green but showing off their characteristic rings around the top. #fall #gardening we should have tomatoes for another month, then i’ll need to clean up the beds. 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025that thing i said about thai chilis? the same is true of jalapeños. this is the ‘megatron’ variety, and we’ve harvested hundreds from three plants. the red and yellow peppers were planted at the same time. while slow to start, they’ve really picked up pepper production lately #gardening #peppers 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025climbing beans (scarlet emperor), some radish greens (french breakfast), and a few very stubborn and tiny carrots trying to outrun the coming frost. #fall #gardening 000
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025my #wildflower areas still seem to be going strong. soon i’ll need to thin the lenceolate coreopsis and overseed. mostly natives but i had some zinnias, cosmos, and giant marigolds in a wheelbarrow and moved them during the drought. i’m eapecially happy with the nicotiana. 000
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025time to get some winter broccoli (or at lease broccolini) in the ground. direct sown as an experiment. historically i haven’t had much luck with broccoli—the yield per square meter seems low. this will go under cover as soon as it peeks above ground. cross your paws. 010
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 19/09/2025be careful if you grow thai chiles for personal use. they can take over your life. ask me how i know. 6312
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 18/05/2025i’ll spare you the rest of the construction photos, but over two years, i built the house shown in the blueprints, and set to work on the garden 110
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 18/05/2025i bought a house in a floodplain. i had criteria, mostly that i was in my old neighborhood and there were the right conditions to grow a garden. so i lifted it up and made a plan. 100
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 18/05/2025what follows will be the briefest of stories about how i got here. 100
@creekshanty @creekshanty.us · 24/04/2025this skyway mainly holds photos and video of my garden, and ramblings about the same. the challenges: small urban environment, and i have very little idea what i’m doing. 100
