Anyone Else? 🥦👀
My fall seeds are sprouting! And I may or may not get unreasonably excited when I have new seedling babies! Anyone else feel that way?? I feel like it's the equivalent of puppy or kitten photos, but for gardeners 🤣 Bonus points if you add a photo of your fall seedlings!

Oh I get so excited when I see a sprout 🌱. But that excitements falls when it doesn’t grow any further and then dries up. Next year I will have to try and convince hubby to insulate our back porch so that I can use it to plant my seeds. I honestly think it was just too cold 🥶 yet when spring planting needed to happen. The only other south facing window is in my craft room where my ironing station is. Place to move that too though as I also paint ceramics and have a station set up next to the ironing station for that. Besides, I can’t have plants inside, my cat loves to chew on them. She maybe cute, but she has got a serious Tortitude! lol. And, that is her window to the world.. hahahah. Sh loves laying in the sunshine there.

Sweet potato harvest!
My first time growing sweet potatoes and couldn’t be happier with the results! Anyone have tips for curing? Given it’s 100 degrees where I’m at for the next few weeks? I read any that are damage (i.e. nicked with my shovel or broken) can’t be cured. Is that correct?

Beautiful harvest! I can’t answer your question either, as I e not tried sweet potatoes and didn’t have good luck with my first attempt at potatoes.

Ouch!
Maybe I should have stuck to gardening when I got home. lol. We had to leave early this morning so the tent and tarps were wet when we packed up the car. Got home and set the tent up to dry out before folding it back up and putting it into bag. Well, the tent frame decided to spring shut with my two fingers between the two metal pieces. We couldn’t for the life of us get the frame to open back up. I literally had to pull my fingers out from the very tightly clamped frame, hurt like crazy and is now throbbing. Thankful the pain has subsided some, just throbbing on a scale of 1-10, maybe a 2 or 3. So next time, I think I’ll leave the tent to the hubby and I’ll go do some gardening. lol.

@Megan Webb actually, the bruising bad already faded some and I have very little “pain”. Only if I hit the tip of my nail and/or bend the nail.
