No longer active here, haven't been for a long while.

You can now find me on Bluesky if you're so inclined. Same username.

@samigup @NBCSportsSoccer Don't know why they didn't include them on this list, but there are 4 games on Peacock Saturday, plus Goal Rush. So most of the games this weekend can be watched on Peacock.

Weather keeps getting cooler, which means I have hundreds of green tomatoes to harvest in the next week or two. They'll ripen just fine inside a paper bag.

Been quite a productive season in the sideyard garden. Can't wait to get started all over again in February.

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

When your garden is still cranking out tomatoes and basil in October, just do the obvious thing.

Garden fresh, homemade tomato-basil soup is always the correct answer.

At an S.C. Land Days event in Spartanburg today - volunteering this time, not reporting. (Though, really, everything is background for a writer.)

We're pulling invasive species - privet, multiflora rose, etc. - at Upper Chinquapin Greenway.

New logo. Hints of a new slogan after 10 years of #yeahTHATgreenville. More to come in the near future.

As you heard first in the @gvljournal, VisitGreenvilleSC (@Greenville_SC) is unveiling a rebranding tonight. Here's the preview. Stay tuned for what's new.

We've reached "hot dogs and s'mores over the Friday night backyard campfire" season.

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

If tobacco hornworms make it to this size, they're welcome to a bit of the late-season harvest. I've picked several hundreds of tomatoes, with many more on the vine. Plenty to share.

They will become huge Carolina sphinx moths, which pollinate native plants. Hungry friends.

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

Come work with me! This is a good job on a great team in a beautiful place.

Reporters, apply quickly. We'll be moving fast.

Photoshoot with my favorite garden visitors. Less frequent this year than I'd like.

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

The Aug. 4 editions of @gvljournal and @UpstateBiz are a strong 1-2 punch. Available Friday in Greenville County and around the Upstate. Check us out.

A look at one of the most underrated things about the Upstate ...

The latest edition of the Greenville Journal (@gvljournal) is out now, in print and online.

While the water supply is the obvious focal point of the watersheds, the protection of the surrounding landscape is vital to protecting the reservoirs. https://t.co/fUOmdW74C6

@stephaniemirah @PublicSourcePA You did great work here, and I know you'll do great work there. Congratulations!

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

@nathanielcary Congrats Nate. Happy for you, and for your future students.

When Fourth of July ends with a rainout, but you built your fire properly.

(And I will absolutely stand in the rain to enjoy a good fire.)

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

This exhibit at @UpcountryMuseum sounds fascinating. It opened July 1.

[Greenville Journal @gvljournal]

Artists may find inspiration in unexpected places. For photographer Kari Greer of Idaho, a summer job in college as a firefighter with the U.S. Forest Service opened the door to a more than 25-year career as a wildfire photographer. https://t.co/S0GS6uZJbm

Summer Saturdays.

[Ryan Gilchrest @ryangilchrest]

Don't know if I'll get any pumpkins, but I'm growing an epic vine.
