I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.

You think you saw me behind some ferns? You just might have!

  • Cold weather is on the horizon - I’m rapidly building an inside grow zone to move some plants inside as an experiment this year. I’m getting cold frames and what not set up for outside.

    Lots of things to chop down and replants, I’ll be trying a bunch of cool weather crops this fall since I built so many new garden beds!

    I’ll be harvesting everything that’s still out there. We had a last little burst of warm-ish weather, and the poblanos put on some size, excellent! My everbearing strawberry plants are still going insane though and producing tons of fruit!












  • We had a windstorm last week and one of my tomato trellises snapped, ohhh noooo! The good news is all the vines survived with minor injuries and are on a new trellis.

    I’ve been getting ground cherries by the handful! Time to make jam…

    We’ve been getting green beans galore, the peppers are peppering, and the corn continues to corn!

    I’m very happy, as my pumpkin vines decided to grow four new gourds! Hooray! The kabocha I’m growing is also doing great, and has a couple new gourds as well! We won’t starve this winter!

    The bad garden news is two out of my five cucumber vines have perished, for no real reason I can tell :(
