This is all one tomato plant. I can't even capture its complexity in one full photo. It feels close to home in that way. Its an annoying form of natural architecture, but its /my/ annoying form of natural architecture ❤️

an attempt to capture the extent of the tomato plant, but it is lost in the breadth of its own expansion.

Got a pizza stone last night so I tested it out on a frozen pizza (decked out with extra toppings, of course) The underside looked a bit more pale than expected, but the crunch of the crust was perfect.

I'm doing alright. Could certainly be better, but could certainly be worse. I've been growing some plants in my garden this summer.

You know what? I'm proud of this. y'all get to see this map that I drew here. This uses a minecraft map as a reference (particularly a journeymap render), featuring a number of downloaded buildings I found on planet minecraft.

also here's the main garden, after being required to remove all the grass because my parents said it looked "tacky". I took the grass I pulled to the side area. also that in between slot I filled with paving sand, after I yoinked all the silt from it.

I uh... may have finally turned this former mess of brambles into a side garden. watch your step

an absolute mess of a side garden plot, photo taken at dusk, there's a tire and a zillion sticks in the foreground, there's a cardboard box on the far end, there's a walkway paved with flat cardboard, and there's barely anything planted here aside from a few choice weeds and some mint.

I write some gems in here. it's a shame that gitbot doesn't show the description beyond the title, like the old one used to do.

this is what happens when you give me full reign of all the tools in the garage, all the yard debris I can dig up, a few abandoned pieces of furniture, and a pile of wooden planks. I attempt to build a garden.

a makeshift workbench comprised of boards on top of a dog cage, a yellow bucket, a partially tipped yard debris container, and two drawers full of aspiring compost.
oh, and a hammer and rusty nails, being removed from the boards.

some dramatic lighting conditions the other day.

dark clouds above the mostly unseen but implied target parking lot, but the blue sky endures.
there's also some trees on the perimeter over there.

the sun casts a stark golden hue upon the scenery along this street of cars and businesses and trees, having fallen under the stormy but hesitant cloud line.

advice to myself: if you want to find yourself, try taking some photos with yourself in the frame.
