This is just the basil and eggplant that needed picking. (And a few peppers, but not most of them) #GardenVarietyQueer

A top-down view of huge piles of six varieties of basil, including opal, wild magic, pesto perpetua, magic mountain, spicy bush, and Thai basil.
The basil is bracketed by a big stack of overgrown Japanese eggplants on the left, and a scattering of mid sized bell peppers and ripening shishito peppers on the right.

I grew enough Hatch chillies (bog jim variety) that I'm going to be able to make a big pot of green chili with just garden peppers. First time ever. 😎 (This is less than half of them) #GardenVarietyQueer

Update: I freed the Gourdess from their confines and... they are huge. (I'm crouching with the pumpkin resting on my lap, here) #GardenVarietyQueer

White genderqueer person with messy curly silvery blue hair, curly red goatee, wearing sporty black sunglasses and a brown and white flannel, holding a giant mottled orange and green pumpkin that is so big it spills out of the frame and makes the person's torso seem small.

I went out to the garden and discovered that a pumpkin I *had not found yet* has grown like this. Speaking of #GardenVarietyQueer

A very large standard pumpkin starting to ripen to orange. The pumpkin is growing sideways between two garden box posts and has grown somewhat square between them. It is so firmly wedged that the post will need to be removed to move the pumpkin.

My filters caught this weird poster getting into mischief.

I did two u-turns to get a picture of this sign, because it made me laugh so hard.

A view of a restaurant called the Cherry Cricket, where a billboard has had many letters knocked out of the last word so that it reads "summoned by burgers and cock ai"
The AI has been scooted far enough over that it is likely not meant to be included in the joke.

My ghost welcome mat is sprouting seedlings, which is the most #GardenVarietyQueer thing I can think of.

Speaking of equinox and harvest. I have to harvest the tomatoes slightly before peak, or the squirrels steal them. #GardenVarietyQueer

I took a few pictures from my garden for you, this morning. 😏 #GardenVarietyQueer

Today, I'm processing the last of the peaches. And smoking a bunch of them, to make bbq sauce and smoked peach preserves. #GardenVarietyQueer

Approximately 30 peaches worth of ripe peach halves, arranged in a smoker grill with visible smoke curling out from a long silver smoking tube.

Speaking of trying things! This is only my second time candying fruit (we did a bit of orange and bergamot rind last year), so they're closer to caramelized. But they're gonna be great. #GardenVarietyQueer

Today's garden has a "hobbit hole" listed on their website. I have not finished building our hobbit hole. So eve was like "maybe it's because you need this inspiration." Dear reader. This is their hobbit hole. No. #GardenVarietyQueer

Today, I'm flirting with allium props. I bet you can smell this photo. Garlic bulbils are the seeds grown at the top of garlic scapes, if you let them develop. They take two year cycles to grow full size, but your garlic is larger and stronger. Also, they are just tasty. #GardenVarietyQueer

White person's hand holding a palm full of tiny purple-tinged garlic bulbs, about three times the size of a grain of rice.

It's not bad, huh? Sponge cake with (homemade, obv) strawberry jam in between one layer and mango cardamom jam in between the other. That's supposed to look like a wave washing ashore, and those are dried mango roses around the base.

A six inch round multi layered cake frosted with white whipped cream, with a blue wave splashed across the top, with gold sanding sugar for sand, and a stylized 15 in blue in the wave. Three orange dried mango fruit flowers are arranged around the edge.

Upon request, behold: Elements of my front garden, built for sharing. #GardenVarietyQueer

A tiered planter built out of square plastic cat litter buckets seated in racks made from horizontal 2x4s, with drip irrigation loops inside each one.

A relative closeup of fresh wooden gardening boxes that are approximately six feet long, two feet wide, and one foot deep. They have long black irrigation tubing on one end of each box, and four boxes are are at least partially visible in a front yard.

A long line of nine recycled tires with a long drip irrigation line on top of them, and loops going into each one. Garden boxes are visible on one side, and a neat row of young sand cherry bushes on the other side. In the distance, a twelve foot tall skeleton stands with a sign at their feet that reads "Fascism feeds on despair, that's why we grow sunflowers."

I was going to pick up the Rest of the dirt for five new garden boxes, today. It's nice and cool, finally. Except I breathed wrong and spent two hours with dislocated ribs, and it's actually a bit too cold for comfortable dirt slinging. But! My sand cherries are very happy. #GardenVarietyQueer

Good morning Bluesky. I was playing FF5 last night and forgot about this good time.

Screenshot from the game final fantasy 5, an 8-bit game originally on the super Nintendo. The character is in the forest of Moore, and a pixel rendition of a tree has two knot holes in it that are large and lewd and look a bit like the anatomy of a vulva.
