don’t tell odin, but i’m still surprised when i ask him to tend to the garden and he happily complies without any tween surliness.

205/365. a sunflower of jack in the beanstalkian proportions.
we didn’t plant it in our garden – it just appeared. i assume it came from one of the bird feeders that we fill with black oil sunflower seeds. it’s gigaaaaaaaaantic. it never occurred to me that you could plant the seeds ( duh! ).
i might have to plant more than one on purpose next year.
behold the productive power of the strawberry pyramid!
the strawberry pyramid i put in last year is already beginning to bear fruit!
112/365. because Frida is an Unabashed and Unrepentant Garden Thief.
we basically didn’t get much of anything out of the garden last year because of her – certainly not any tomatoes. so, now i’m putting fencing around the garden which is why i have 8 eight foot fence posts ( would later realize i need 9 ) and 100 feet of fencing in the jetta wagon. i didn’t think it would fit, but it did! the posts ran to within a few inches of the dashboard which didn’t feel like the greatest idea if i had to make any quick stops.
69/365. improbably, my disembodied hands still hang in the cafe at organic valley hq.
it till amuses me that around 6 years ago I took a photo of me stealing peas from theresa marquez’s organic valley employee garden plot ( she was then the ov chief marketing officer ) and somehow it ended up on the wall of our employee cafe ( seen here on the left ). And even more improbably it survived the hq fire from a few years ago, and was put back up after the rehab and redesign of the cafe after the fire.
starter fuel for odin’s “Kick in The Asgard” hot sauce.
when we worried imminent frost would kill the them we harvested a whole lotta hot peppers from our garden at organic valley. i have no idea what all the varieties are nor their hotness but that’s not going to stop me from whipping up a batch of what i like to call Odin’s Kick in the Asgard hot sauce.
what could possibly go wrong?
frida is an Unabashed and Unrepentant Garden Thief.
irregardless regardless, we love her. she’ll take and eat anything but especially loves not quite ripe tomatoes.
that’s a pile of about 8 or 9 tomatoes in front of her.
