@SketchesbyBoze As a millennial actively living that "life style," I concur this is accurate :)

@ZoeSTodd Much further south in MD, our apples bloomed back in April. I hope you're continuing to heal, Zoe!

@ositoLDN Voilà le portrait sans retouches !

I’d give anything right now to be an indolent old frog in a sun-kissed garden, snazzily dressed in a homburg hat and patent leather shoes, seated under a mushroom umbrella eating grapefruits and cheeses and chocolates and croissants out of a wicker picnic basket.

@genuinebilski @jmjafrx @erinkrowe @furstfrancois Soooo many congratulations!!!

I'm pleased to share some bureaucratic activism: the Indigenous Research Agreement template. Super boring title for a contract that gives Indigenous groups the right to own, control, access & possess their data in research at @MemorialU . 1/8

@ositoLDN Yeeees! We just welcomed in a staghorn fern; it's placed a bit too high up for the nudes, though

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@ositoLDN I really enjoy your sexy plant selfies--frankly, they're one of my favorite things about Twitter. :)

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@ositoLDN Soooo true (thank goodness!)

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@NakedCapsid I support this plan. We built the garden fence yesterday--all the sudden it's a real garden!

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@NakedCapsid You, too, huh?! We've been gardening hard core, too!

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

My skin has become SO scaly from the time spent in the garden that I've begun to wonder if one of my English ancestors had a dalliance with a dragon...

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

Apple blossom!

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@ositoLDN I'm digging the spider plant plefie (plant selfie)!

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

@ositoLDN Naked gardening! Yeeees!

[Ryan.A.Koons @RyanAKoons]

20 years later, I finally find a use for those math word problems I (we?) hated:

If I have 130 radish seeds that need to be planted 2 inches apart, and I have 16 ft and 18 ft garden beds, do I plant them by the apple tree or the blueberries?

(Answer: by the apple tree 😊)

I have never before so understood the desire of Jane Austen characters to go on daily long walks through the country.
