Another night of seed planting. And nope, I’m not drinking that much Sprite. Those bottle are for one of my BEST tools, bottle top watering spouts. #growingnorth #seeds #reuse @ Growing North https://t.co/PtcULLzSl8

The new seeds are arriving. Which of these seedlings are you excited for this year? Spring is coming, I promise… #growingnorth @ Growing North https://t.co/jUHPnyS88l

Peppers. Peppers everywhere…. These are just the bishop crown. Can anyone guess how many lbs this plant produced this year?? @ Growing North https://t.co/M4eNOrB5Zo

[Growing North 🍁❄️ @growingnorth]

Clearing out the rest of the peppers from the greenhouse. I have TOO MANY bishop crown peppers (I don’t do heat well). If I were to offer them for sale anyone interested? 🌶 PS This is all one plant. Yikes!!! https://t.co/X8aWZOgdFY

Lucky me! Gifted a lonely Ladybug that someone found on their Rosemary. I think it will like the greenhouse better than outside these days…. #growingnorth @ Growing North https://t.co/cGCb0fO4c5

Greenhouse this fall is a pepper jungle as tall as me, and as big as my fist. Didn’t even try counting how many per plant. Craziness #growingnorth @ Growing North https://t.co/05hrZqloV7

Hard to see, but the trellises were plentiful this year. Squash, pumpkins and melons galore. Yum! #growingnorth @ Growing North https://t.co/iBCtfkbWo9

@miseriavolare Even if you don’t press it far, it should be on record because that’s sounding pretty serious and risky already. It’s not OK.

[Growing North 🍁❄️ @growingnorth]

@miseriavolare As a female, get it recorded now with the authorities. Even if it stops, waiting doesn’t help because this shit comes back. He might need help but she does too and her help might be harder to get.

Things that are only exciting to other gardeners: I got a second vermicomposter! Woo!! #growingnorth @ Growing North https://t.co/4SK4j0sujT

During harvest season, my fruit fly trap is one of my favourite kitchen tools. They’re never ending… #growingnorth #fruitflies #harvest @ Growing North https://t.co/odF9nUcCrQ
