Putting on a pot to make veggie stock today. Everything in it I grew except for the mushrooms I added. (Onions, carrots, celery, leek, garlic, peppers, thyme, parsley, fennel, rosemary) #VegetableGardening

Am I the last person left who doesn't like the "color drench" trend? Especially doing the ceiling? Just feels claustrophobic. I still like the one wall as a color pop

My cabbage is doing so well!! But tomorrow I have to set up my new garlic bed to be ready to plant soon. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

It rained a bit an inch overnight. It's still overcast, it's cool, I've got coffee and a candle. Plus the best old lady baby lub 🥹❤️ #cats #catsky #LongHairedCats

I can't tell you how dry it's been in MN this summer - finally a day of rain today and I feel like it's time to throw a party #VegetableGardening

First time I've decorated for anything since 2020. I'm happy to be doing it this year.

The cabbage seedlings I started inside in July and planted out a couple of weeks ago into grow bags in my sunny front yard are doing FABU. Fall cabbages in the front yard only for me from now on! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening

Alright. Got down to 56 last night, so I didn't water right away, I'm going to wait until noonish. I did turn the Greenstalks though which continue to be perfection, and I'm not risking ending that! #VegetableGardening

Proof you can get souped out - last fall I put a batch of ham bean soup in the freezer and didn't think it was very good. Right now I'm eating it for lunch and think it's the best soup I ever made LOL #VegetableGardening

I need to remember next year to only plant things I can direct seed into my Greenstalks so I can add a layer of chickenwire to it to keep the squirrels from DIGGING EVERYTHING OUT IN THE FALL. They don't eat it, just throw it out of the pocket. #VegetableGardening #Greenstalk

It's tiny. And not the variety that's supposed to be! But I put it in the fridge yesterday and just ate it and it was delicious. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok first rainy overcast day in awhile but I'm committed to getting this garden thru to the bitter end. Got out and turned the Greenstalks and know what I need to harvest after work. #VegetableGardening meanwhile I got a row of #knitting in this morning in the #GlitteringSnowscape shawl

Chech - GeekKirk @geekkirk.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Sigh. So I didn't have a great year for anything if I'm honest, but my garden gave me enough for me, so I really can't complain, I just was hoping to be able to share. 😞 #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Had to pick an acorn squash today because the rodents chomped it. Roasted it with the affected parts trimmed off. Not wasting food this year. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Ok I'm not sad about another week of hot weather for my sweet potato plants though. I know I won't get many and they won't be big - but I'll take what I can get and every hot day helps. #VegetableGardening

I am so annoyed and sad - my peppers are finally thriving. Deep green, big, tons of flowers. IN SEPTEMBER. We have a week left of "summer" weather and then temps start heading into the 70s/50s. BAH. #VegetableGardening

Chech - GeekKirk @geekkirk.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm fighting fall brain. It currently wants to ignore the garden and knit, but there is still way too much food out there to waste, so I have a strict rule no knitting until after the sun goes down. #VegetableGardening #Knitting #Fall

The cabbages I transplanted into grow bags in the front yard are doing fantastic! Yay! Looks like it's know when and how to grow cabbages for winter next year! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

I love my garden. I love to talk and share my garden. I love to decorate my garden with cheesy solar lights. My garden will NEVER be pretty because I have to cage up so much stuff away from the tree and ground rodents #VegetableGardening #Gardening

A few extra broccoli florets coming along and my Super Sauce paste tomatoes if I get them all are going to bury me in crushed tomatoes this year! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Orange honeydew. Don't know if I have enough season left for them to ripen but I grew some at last!! #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

Several "Mini-me" melons on my plant. I'm so happy with them. ❤️ #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening

This morning's harvest. I pulled any winter squash that was far enough along that it will finish off inside - just to make sure I got one or two before the rodents ruined them. #VegetableGardening #UrbanGardening #Zone5A #gardening
