          is there fungus among us?

          Maybe so. Maybe not

            This is a complete work in progress shot and it looks like crap right now but we have 3 rows of grapes. One row of ever-bearing raspberries and one row of golden raspberries. The three boxes will be full of perennial veggies and there’s kiwis planted along the large round trellis.

              I really don't think you'll want to eat those.

                        I was trying to pull some weeds and there was a praying mantis.

                            I've noticed a more praying mantis this year in Annapolis than I feel like I've ever seen.  Also saw a couple Luna Moths.  We had the Brood X cicada scourge this year, and since I think all insects are going nuts.  Seeing a Mantis is always somehow cool
                            Both at the front door to my apartment:

                              San Antonio weather has been strange this year. We had a newsworthy snowstorm in February, then this summer was extremely rainy (no drought restrictions for the first time in ages) and relatively cool (temperatures have yet to reach 100F/38C, which hasn't happened since they started keeping records). So this spring, we were certain the snow had killed everything in our yard, but the spring and summer brought all the plants back with a vengeance.  Yay for local plants…

                                  I think I finally put the coup de grâce on the japanese knotweed around my house. The only thing besides baby metal I loathe from Japan… But I've noticed this white wild flower all over that reminds me of snow. It's everywhere.

                                  Dead knotweed

                                  I apologize because this is gonna be slightly off-topic. I'm completely drunk and that helps me admire how beautiful everything is even weeds. But I love the crispness of the air, the read and yellow leaves everywhere, and being able to fully enjoy my extra heavy weight clothes. Everything has a richness of color and is so much more comfortable and relaxing than the other months.

                                  First off I took these pictures of my mums for @goosehd I planted the purple one last year and it is still alive.

                                  These are the new ones.

                                  My vintage Halloween decor is for Stevie @Oaktavia

                                  This wreath is my mom's shit but I love it. And it has a terra cotta owl I bought in Peru.

                                  Even the hydrangea look amazing this time of year

                                  I love being able to be chilly and wear this stuff. I love that the leaves are changing.

                                  And even more beautiful weeds in my driveway.

                                  I forgot this one. I tried to get this red bush in my WAYWT pics earlier

                                      Not sure if allowed so I’ll ask before posting - growing certain things is legal in my state. If I’m allowed to post, I’ll gladly share. If we’d rather avoid, I’ll only show pics of vegetables this spring 🤠

                                        Let's not. It's illegal (rightly or wrongly) in many countries. Plenty of other places to do that......

                                            All good gents. That’s why I wanted to ask first. Would rather not get banned for stupidity.

                                            I can share the outdoor garden I’m building as it comes.

                                            Going to start a 4’x8’ bed as groceries have become unsustainable to shop cheaply for how much real food my girl and I go through.
                                            Here’s a rough idea of some of what I’m planning. Other items will be in pots or small boxes so I didn’t include them yet. Still need to decide on some companion plants.

                                            769BAB46-E31B-4963-A2EF-8C85C40E07B4.png
