Mutant Produce #6

Who can spot the mutant lemon?

Today's Harvest

Cherry tomatoes and spaghetti squash!

Mutant Produce #5

Scary horned demon lemon

After cutting the lemon, it looks like there are no seeds in it. I think that's a good thing. Imagine a whole tree growing from a seed from this lemon! Scary!



Mug Shot

Looking through the filing cabinet for some reason, I came across this photo which was stapled to Dorothy's information card at the SPCA. Yikes!! Had a good loud laugh over it though... ;)



Feel free to post any captions in the comments part below... There may be a prize in it for the best one!

Squash!

I found out by doing some internet searching that I am growing:

Spaghetti Squash

And Buttercup Squash! (also I have a rogue squash taking over my pea trellis)

Mutant Produce #4

The bird lemon flew out of the tree today.

Reusable Bag!

I started this project months ago, but decided I better finish it today since a plastic bag ban and paper bag tax is halfway passed into law here in the LBC. I made it from two pairs of corduroy pants. I should probably figure out how to sew a lining on the inside, but for now, this is it. I just hope it doesn't fall apart as soon as I put groceries in it...

MEE-OWWWWW!

4 Years!

Today is my 4th Anniversary of arriving in California from Pennsylvania. I'm still here!!

Cheap Beer, Slugs, and New Veggies

Thanks to the low low price of $2.99/6-pack at Trader Joe's, our garden slugs have a variety of beers to choose from for their night-time drowning pleasure.

I did taste these beers before pouring them for the slugs, just out of curiosity. Name Tag is really nasty, sweet and chemical tasting. Simpler Times Pilsner isn't so bad actually. It smells sweet but actually has a sort of decent pilsner taste. I still think I'll leave it for the slugs though. Next time I'll try Simpler Times Lager and Simpler Times Mexican Lager, also $2.99/6-pack. I like to give the slimy things a choice of beverages to drown in.





And since they're easily distracted by the beer, I now have broccoli!



And some lettuce!

And the peas are still going strong, and squashes are coming along nicely too.. Yum!
