Heading out for Round Two of "Dan vs. Hoses" in a few minutes. It is my annual cage match between a human and about 10 hoses. Round One did not go well. #Spring #Gardening

I was awakened at 2:30am by the sound of intense rain, and after cross-referencing a couple websites, it seems about a quarter inch of rain fell overnight. For this to happen on the day when I normally water my garden is fantastic. I will still water a couple things because I want to train this tiny yard to root more deeply and we're about to have wacky warm temps again. Starting tomorrow. Also, turns out it's NOT hosta in my yard. It's flowering, and I'm gonna say it's lily of the valley. I'm looking out the window, watching a backyard bun coming to the front yard to nibble the taller grasses that have grown below where the carport drips collected water. Today I think is going to be the first lawn mowing of 2026. #Gardening #Rabbit

Preparing to shut down the garden for summer as temps just hit 110s (after a week of perfect 70s no less). Pulled what corn I could, only four ears matured this season but we'll dry and store it and try again at the end of summer. The squash are still holding on, most of the sunflowers are about ready to cut and bag, and I'll be caging the tomatoes to see if they'll produce through the summer. Our kale is little but I'll be cutting it this week, and there are a few onions to pull and age also. With that, the garden will be just about ready to turn over to the chickens for the season! Nopales harvest is officially done: our yield was 14 pounds all said, and I could have cut more while still leaving pads to grow on the cacti, but I maxxed out my capacity for cleaning and preparing them for storage. We gave some away, have some still fresh in the fridge (what we haven't cooked already) and I have 7 quarts of nopalitos fermenting on the shelf. It's so odd how inverted our seasons are compared to most of you: as you enter your season of fertility we are mostly shutting down, preparing to rest the land through its harshest months before having another growing season in late summer. Though we aren't done! The mesquite pods come mature around the solstice, and in July or August las tunas (prickly pear fruits) will be ready for harvest also. #Gardening #Zone9 #Mojave #Permaculture #Farm #SustainableFarming #IndigenousFoods

I walked RIGHT PAST HER before I realized she was there. Got this photo of her in my daylily bed from maybe five feet away. #gardening #wildlife #naturePhotography #Deer #baby_animals

80F in early spring and 30F in late spring results in frost-damaged peas and frost-damaged Joe Pye (Eutrochium fistulosum). Luckily, plants are tough. #NativePlants #gardening #NorthernIllinois

Over the weeks since, I’ve been watching the #cosmos steadily growing from the seeds I spread in the front #garden bed in late winter, they’re now starting to come into bloom, always nice to see, big reward for not that much effort. #photography #gardening #flowers #BloomScrolling #FlowersOfMastodon

"A ‘very dangerous’ insect was recently spotted in Ontario. Here’s why you should ‘squish them’.....St. Catharines, Ont. this March.....the spotted lanternflies were found, dead, in an imported shipment of empty planting pots from an “infested” area of the United States, but did not specify where exactly." #Canada #Gardening https://www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/article/the-spotted-lanternfly-was-recently-found-in-ontario-heres-why-you-should-squish-them/

Many #butterwort species from Mexico have two growth phases. When the weather is dry, they form a tight rosette of succulent leaves. When seasonal moisture arrives, they transition into their carnivorous phase, sporting larger mucilage-covered leaves that catch small insects. #WorldCarnivorousPlantDay #CarnivorousPlantDay2026 #Butterwort #Lentibulariaceae #CarnivorousPlants #gardening

The rain finally came and lots of it. Last night a thunderstorm passed through and dumped a full barrel of rainwater in two minutes, today it's a more steady series of showers. Good for our garden! The storks are not so happy and were seen tossing wet grass clumps out of their nest. #StorkNest #Weather #Gardening #Rain #Homestead #Stork #Bird

Hmm, did the squirrel just run past my window holding the cork from my wine bottle? 🤔 #gardening #squirrels

I have an area at the bottom of the garden lot that is my rhubarb bed. The area is about 50ft.² (4.6 meter²) and contains about 8 plants. It was planted well over 50 years ago by an older generation. This was enough to supply the needs of at least 4 large households in the neighborhood and was by no means the only garden with rhubarb. The old folks are all gone now, and these days the demand is almost nil, but the plants still carry on. I let them flower now for the bees, etc. #gardening

I’m grateful for the moisture, and the snow itself will be gone in a couple days, but this is a lot to take in this morning. 🌿❄️ #gardening #snow #Colorado

The compost pile I built from successive layers of grass clippings, wood chip and horse manure less than 48 hours ago is cooking nicely. Currently reading 67°C (152F). #Compost #Composting #SolarPunkSunday #Allotment #Gardening
