Hahahahahhaahhahaha yes! @pencilution I love you! Dunks sucks. A caveat though, the first dunks I ever had, and the dunks I had in college were different than the stale swill they serve now. Those old skool dunks fresh fried their donuts in house, and in 1994 their coffee was standard diner style. It has only gone downhill since. And true story, I have not once had a decent cup of dunks in Mass- not once in 21 years. #tuesdayzinetruths #zines

A finished first week is in the books. #newjob #dayjob

New #dayjob had many cafes in a 5min or less walk. This is a bit darker than my usual faves but damn, it's good! Also, they hit us up with samples of a lavender sweet matcha, it was tasty. @loth_lynn back in the print shop reading more work stuff and writing projects. #work #inmymouth #foodie

I can understand why people went wacky over the atomic grape tomatoes and then were salty. They are deceptive in figuring out.if they are ripe. They start to soften when they are green but aren't ripe until they are streaked with orange. The skin is resistant to splitting and if they aren't dead ripe the skin can be tough. BUT if you can wait holy crap they are stunning and tasty AF. Sweet a hint of south and they are juicy with a decent amount of pulp but not too much. Plus, look at that inside. Damn. I'll be seed saving these for sure. These are on my forever list. Plus, they are pretty productive. #tomato #garden #suburbskills #tastyaf #citysteading #urbanoasis #foodporn #inmymouth

Garlic, chilis, herbs, butter, dried chantarelles, a couple of tomatoes, roasted eggplants and pasta. Just a hint of parm. Rosemary, thyme, oregano, and basil all home grown. Same with the tomatoes and eggplant. #growshit #hotpeppers #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #pepper #tomato #garden #suburbskills #tastyaf

The vac packer at the ready. Harvest time is upon us. I have many pounds more on the way. #growshit #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #foodporn #grow #suburbskills #garden #tomato

I'm not sure you can see the look of utter disapproval on this dog's face but I assure you he is NOT happy with me. He has been on a 7 hour long car ride, which he hates. And he was not allowed in a friends house because their cat would have kicked his ass. So he got to stay outside sniffing around and whining that he couldn't come in. #poorbaby #dogsofinstagram #mutt #adoptnotshop

Ohhhhhh pounds of tomatoes in this mornings garden walk through. A couple of black krim, a jubilee, my first Rutgers, a handful of blue golds, and another atomic grape. I've got eggplant to pick tomorrow. #growshit #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #foodporn #grow #suburbskills #garden #tomato I'll start. Letting them vine ripen soon. Everything that is green in there was at ground level.

Oh man, that 1lb 3oz tomato? It was a sauce tomato and perfect with a few black krim to make salsa. So good. Nothing better IMO. #garden #gardengoodies

Today's garden haul. The.tomatoes.have more.than a blush of ripeness and were close to the ground. The blue gold were higher up. I managed to pull down a stake.and knocked off a bunch, they'll ripen. The eggplants can get bigger but the Japanese beetles and potatoes bugs have found them, the smallest had.its stemm.almost completely eaten through. The.ripe stuff is going on the grill while the green is going into a basket to ripen. #garden #cityfarm #grow #suburbskills #growshit #hotpeppers #urbanoasis #citysteading #eatgoodfood

Today's harvest, pretty good haul. Lots of splitting of everything thanks to the incessant heavy rains. I finally have a vine ripened atomic grape tomato, this one got a blush of orange across the bottom. Very showy but my my fave. I'll grow again for looks alone but I'm not sure anything will top the super sweet 100s or the blue gold. The vine ripe blue holds are sweet without too much acidity and have a lot of flesh. 2 more black krim from the lower levels of the plant harvested green and looking dark. Another bride eggplant showing off her purple stripes. Pretty. a handful of peaches.and a couple of red shepherds, which are phenomenal tasting. I've got a tone of nora paprika peppers hiding away and Allepo peppers getting big. Not pictured but enough swiss chard for dinner. #growshit #hotpeppers #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #pepper #tomato #garden #suburbskills #tastyaf

Today and yesterday's harvests. Also 1lb 3 oz black krim tomato! No it is not fully ripe but it will get there in a few days. Had to pick it since it was at ground level and would likely get ravaged by animals if I left it out. #growshit #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #tomato #garden #suburbskills

Finally getting to the review I promised last fall of @dabblewriter with 6k words entered in the last 2 weeks. Jamming the time in here and there. #fingersonkeys #assinchair working on typing up my ideas around #trashprintmaking into a cohesive how to for other people interested in using recycled printing plates and lowering the cost of their art making while having a positive impact on the environment. Take the trash out of the cycle. Also it feels.good to write again. The pandemic and the closure.of my workplace threw me for a mental loop. Glad to be back at it.

Look at this beautiful partially ripe black krim tomato. And then look at it being ruined. 99% sure its rats. Apparently they are an issue in my city and they are the worst they have ever been. I'm picking up some traps. #urbanoasis #citysteading #cityfarm #sad #damage

A little #trashprintmaking a milk jug sliced up into flat pieces, etched into the smooth inner side. The other is a coffee bag glue to thick card. I did a test print and they needed more work, so I went back in with my needle.and scratched a bit more. Finally had the range of light and dark I wanted. Aqua inks on vintage white cardstock. #collagraph #drypoint #prints #art #minipress #maker #artplay #instagramartists

It's been a lot time since I did an "outdoor office" post, but here I am, ice cold mint julep, sketchbook and supplies about to make some art.soaking in the cool breeze and looking at my garden. (Apparently my neighbor thinks this is a grand time to vac their car.) #urbanoasis #relax #makeart
