Profound Eggplant ft. Song "how tf is this my life now" Zichen

song lan: i love you. both of you. also song lan: no no eggplants by the dao put that away xingchen don't encourage him why am i the voice of reason why do we even need a voice of reason here that is an eggplant---

more fanart for Heaven Has A Road But No One Walks It by the lovely @silvysartfulness

this exact scene didn't actually happen in the fic but, if we're to believe xue yang, an eggplant was used. at one point.

i originally wanted to draw something sexy/hot when i thought of this concept but i can't draw nsfw (sobs) so i was like screw sexy/hot, we're doing silly and we're going to embrace it.

i have this headcanon (for the story) that song lan slowly starts to realize, after a few months together, that he's fallen in love with a pair of kinky bastards. he doesn't know if he should be horrified or turned on.

Visual Plant Update!

These are plants I just put in soil week and a half ago, they're all coming out very well! I'm scared of the cantaloupes but right now they're just little babies. On pictures are 1: cantaloupes 2: eggplants 3: tomatoes

These are cherry tomatoes, two little sunflowers, and a dwarf tomato! All doing well, though the dwarf is yellowing at the edges and possibly needs fertilization.

On the first picture you can see lots of previously planted peppers and tomatoes, and also my onions are dying! This happened last time as well so I'm not surprised, though I do not know what their problem is. I have watered them, the pot is well drained, I tried in the past to plant them separately in smaller pots and the same thing happened. Confusing, but few are alive still, and if only few survive I can accept that. Second picture is that wild batch of tomatoes that's been wilding, it's continuing to grow super fast, and the last one is the illegal tomato! Thriving, easily the biggest plant out there.

Late summer and early autumn flowers and fruits from my garden. This summer has been challenging due to the chilly and wet weather but we have still managed to get an impressive harvest!

November 2024: Frost Predicted & Final Warm Season Harvest

The Old Farmer's Almanac had our first frost date as November 1st. The Farmers' Almanac (similar name but different) had it as November the 4th. The National Weather Service had predicted patchy frost for us on November the 21st but it didn't materialize. We had pulled in our frost sensitive crops all the same:

Fun fact: Our hardiness zone has been changed from zone 7B to 8A. So, yeah, climate change is real.

Woke up feeling steamrollered this morning so Seed Starting Thursday has been postponed until tomorrow. I did get a few garden tasks done though.

Two clumps of daffodils are flowering today. I've got a number of different varieties that bloom in succession so I'll probably have some kind of daffodil through May.

The harvest of salad spinach was twice the amount of last time. Some of the other varieties are starting to kick up their growth too with the warmer temps. I am going to use this harvest to make a few servings of spinach artichoke dip for a wild Friday night at home snack.

Opened up the tunnels to water and the transplanted Chinese broccoli and bok choy are loving their new digs, increasing in size by at least a third. But what is this?

Grrrr.

And then when flipping up the board to check the in-ground row of old mixed carrot seed I found this guy:

Yeah the chickens got a nice juicy treat. It was probably attracted to the moist darkness under the board, but I watched it actually munching on my carrot seed so I feel no remorse. It's an even toss-up whether the damage on the bok choy is slugs or roly-polys. On taller plants that they have to climb first you can tell by the slime trails, but here the leaf edge was touching the soil. I'll be putting a short board down as a slug trap and checking it in the morning.

A whole bunch more extra dwarf pak choi sprouted in the cold frame, so I had to put the regrowing green onions in their own small earthbox. Luckily I had one available since the cats destroyed the impatiens I was overwintering in it. They've actually almost regrown enough to harvest again, but I'll give them a few weeks to get settled in first.

And then I potted up these Black Beauty eggplants. Despite the dud cell, I still got nine plants out of this.

The Ping Tung eggplants need at least another week of growth before transplant. Conveniently, there are six pots left open in this flat and I have six seedlings. The two cells of Listada eggplant never germinated. That was my experiment with seed saving eggplants so was a bit of a bummer. May research what went wrong or I may just resolve to buy eggplant seed, it'll probably depend on need.

The native plants program at the library was a little disappointing. I was expecting an informational presentation on local natives for your garden. What it ended up being was a workshop on cold stratification using native seeds harvested the past fall by the presenter. So I came away with several varieties to put in my freezer, but no new information.

Ah well, it's fine and it was free. I'll be sowing some black-eyed Susan, prairie blazing star, purple aster, mountain mint, mist flower, foxglove beardtongue, and bee balm (a fuschia pink variety) in a few weeks once they've stratified. I already have some pale purple bee balm and I've grown black-eyed Susan, blazing star, purple aster, and a different variety of beardtongue in the past. The mountain mint and mist flower were pointed out to me as varieties that were a little more tolerant of part shade than any of the other varieties available so I'm going to try and start them in the spot where I moved two peonies from in the fall (for not being sunny enough). For all of these I'm planning on putting half the seed in trays inside and half direct sown outside. We'll see what works best.
