All things green, outdoors, and nature-y. Whether it's animals in their natural habitat, hiking trails and mountains, or planting a little garden for yourself (and everything in between), you can talk about it here.

It's been a flurry of activity this week - we've been hosting a friend who's here to build out his photography portfolio. As part of that, there were a number of chores and tasks I had to delay in order for him to get some of the shots he was looking for, followed by mad dashes of activity and pausing for shots while in the doing. He ended up with some ~1200 photos and maybe an hour or two of drone footage:

I definitely tend to see the work left to do in the gardens instead of what's been accomplished unless I'm showing things to people, so let me just say this:

I'm really impressed by the work you're putting in for your gardens, and how they're coming along!

What's growing on with you all?

The garden is struggling a bit in the heat (mostly I need to water more) but I'm still getting a lot of good stuff! Six cucumbers, a zucchini, and my first tomatoes of the season today!

Accidentally knocked off the green one, but it'll probably ripen on the shelf

Look at those chonkers! Great job! If you've got apples or bananas and a paper bag, you can put one of them into the bag with the unripe tomato and the ethylene from the other fruit will help it to ripen

That's a great idea, I'll stick it in the fruit bowl!
