My hobbies are all excuses to collect pretty colors. I enjoy knitting, sewing, running, trombone-ing, gardening, & sci-fi short stories. Coding when necessitated and occasionally for fun. Microbiology for fun & (non-)profit.


Remembered I wanted to grow cucumbers this year since my cuke friend moved away, and have now ordered supplies!

I also got more basil seeds (Italian large leaf), and dill seeds (bouquet, Dukat, and dwarf fernleaf).

I can grow basil very easily, but I have terrible luck with dill. I never get them planted at the right time (and probably won't again this year) and never get them the right lighting and then if I do I bake the poor things in our harsh sun. I'm hoping one of these three types will yield something usable! I'm also putting these in multiple spots to try to find a better area. I've had the best luck with Dukat, which amuses me greatly due to the name.

I've never grown vegetables at all, so I don't expect to get far with my cucumbers. My love of sun-warmed cukes and home-canned pickles requires me to give it a shot, though.
