Recent-ish Stuff

I’m running two communities on Dreamwidth that you should check out.

I was given the Writers Cafe from the previous admin and I made Just Create. Every Friday I post a check-in to share what people have done, seen, made, or read and then Saturday or Sunday they each get a session for making stuff. 

If you’d like a community to encourage you on, come check them out.

My first harvest of 2018

Inside a kitchen sink. A small colander filled with about two dozen ripe cherry tomatoes. Around the colander are three white turnips with the stems still on.

The turnips are Oasis. I grew them last year and they’re mild and delicious

The cherry tomatoes are 100 Sweet, from a transplant. I overwintered the plant and we’ve probably got two times that many ripening.
