This is the time of year that I have to play the guessing game, “Is it a tomato or is it a muscadine?” 😆 because it’s both!!! My Matt’s wild cherry tomato gets so entangled with the muscadine that I can barely tell them apart!

Well if I’m 5’7”…what do we think?! 8-9 feet?? Alocasia ‘Dark Star’ - she’s several years old now and leaning over so bad that I have to prop her up - I keep wondering how long she’ll go like this, but she surprises me every year. She seems happy so I’m not changing anything! She’s thrown out some babies so her legacy shall live on 😂

Today’s pickings 👩🏻‍🌾 Had to harvest the potatoes even though they’re small because the caterpillars ate up all the leaves 🐛 I have carrots pretty much year round, they get a little hairy but nothing different about the taste once peeled! Pickling cucumbers, purple Cherokee and Early black tomatoes, herbs, plus my favorite Matt’s wild cherry tomatoes which have decided to pop up in many places around the garden 😆

A little glimpse of what the first week of May looks like in my backyard! Tomatoes ripening, zinnias and weeds going crazy 🤪, tropicals all in varying stages of growth! It’s a beautiful time here in Houston!

Front porch spring reset! Bromeliads always win for shade color. Monstera, coleus, syngonium, alocasia, and variegated sweet potato vine to round it out.

I stepped into my driveway the other day and GASPED…an American Beautyberry in MY flower bed out of nowhere! Thank you to whichever squirrel or bird planted you 🐿️🐦 What a gift!!!

Sometimes this is the only way I can know what I planted 🤪 I make plant tags but somehow they disappear 🧐 I’ve been adding more and more flowers to my veggie garden space to help with pollinators and cut down on weeds. I also propagated my Matt’s Wild cherry tomato, purple Cherokee & Pineapple tomatoes. They’ll sit in cups in the shade until September.
