Made a little metal ring that slips into a basket to hold tillandsia. (Yeah, it’s flowering!) Only thing to figure out is how to polish it. I wrote a thing about how to take care of air plants btw, in case anyone wants to know (see bio) #airplant #tillandsia #tillandsias #airplants #airplantsofinstagram

Yikes. We did not expect this! Happy almost spring. #snowday #tucson #zone9a #rosemary #plants #freezingmybuttoffforthis

None if you know this, but last year all the oregano I grew dried out before I could pick it and dry it myself. Since it was a dry winter and dust was everywhere, I didn’t want to use it. So this year, when all this is lush, it’s clipping time. ✂️#oregano #somepeoplepronoucesoilassoul

Come on back peppers. Please. The other day, in the kitchen, I ruined one of the green onions. Luckily one is becoming two and I can split them. This is their third year! ~2.5 feet tall. People throw these in the trash after using them once. 🙄

Snow two days in a row is essentially unheard of for the middle of Tucson. The heat island effect pushes stored warmth out of our sidewalks, buildings, and roads during the night to make this impossible normally. But we got it! Snow! #tucson

These lasted about two weeks in the fridge before I decided: eff it, they’re getting grown again. #invincible #onion

Hey everybody! It’s cooler out so I’m cooking again. After a farmers market, I decided to try a third time to ferment some cucumbers. And to do that, I grabbed these @goferment lids. They might FINALLY help me to master fermentation. Updates to come. Check them out if you haven’t, these were a gift to me from my mother. Keep them in mind for Holidays 2018®️! #goferment #fermentation #pickles

Figured it was time to just pick these 2 year old spring onions. The bulbous bottoms should be good in spaghetti, and I’ll decide on the scapes. Only got the one good scape, it was 108F today, 6% humidity. Some garden God is keeping these kohlrabi (bottom right) from bolting. The same God is keeping them from bulbing up too. (I know it’s my choice of soil, position in the yard, sowing date, etc., but it’s not as fun to blame other mortals.) #blamegame #onions #springonion #onionscapes #onion
