Today’s harvest: my first orange bell pepper, my first brandywine tomato, my first ear of corn, and some cosmic purple carrots.

That sweet pepper was incredibly sweet. I ate the corn raw too.

These jalepenos are yummy with a cool cucumber. Fortunately I salvaged the last of those and they’re chillin in the fridge.

Beetles brought an early demise to my happily trellised cucumbers. Broccoli is supposed to help deter them. It didn’t, and I had lots of it growing next to the cukes.

Now all the broccoli and cucumber plants are gone, revealing dirt and a place to actually walk between the corn and tomatoes, which is surprisingly delightful.

Now the only place left for the little f**krs to hide is on the cornstalks. I squirted ‘em with organic stuff. One of the cornstalks was bent over but in the morning. Maybe it was the beetles. Or the humans. Or a really heavy bird.

There’s the nighttime harvested tomato. Indoor lighting, best I could do atm.

It’s called a Chocolate Stripe.

A garden / wildflower bouquet.

Into the corn vortex.
