My hubs came home from work the other day while I was doing the bushes and raspberries and said my gardening fit looked like a low level RPG character that just puts on every item they find until they get the better, matching equipment. Not gonna lie lmao he's right. Not shown here is the old fur-topped winter boots I was also wearing cause the ground was squelchy and I don't have rain boots that fit 🤣

I wish I had a full body shot but they just looked dumb so you get this instead. The neon green are knee pads for when I'm kneeling. I'm actually a 92 year old man by the way. Speaking of, my god I forgot to stretch the other day and man were my gams unhappy about it. I remember to stretch a quarter the way into attaching the sunscreen privacy mesh thing yesterday though!

As well as the privacy screen getting installed yesterday, I also went and got another chunk of that tomato cage fencing for my raspberries and some more plant post things to hold them upright.

I actually couldn't find the singular green ones I was using, but the dollar store had some of these spiral drink holders that essentially looked like bigger plant stakes. Plus they're red and match the tomato cage fence!

I should probably actually look up if this is okay for them to be bunched this close but it worked okay last year so I'm just hoping for the best tbh. Though last year's grouping of them into clusters was done well after they'd started to bloom. I get the feeling they're just gonna grow and make space for themselves as they do so.

I did end up trimming them down a bit more too, despite the already started growth on the long main stems (Stalks? Trunks? I dunno.) because a couple of them were already pretty close to reaching the bird netting and I'd prefer them to not poke though it for as long as possible. I do want to look up how to manage the size of the damn thing this year though. Cause I don't think I really did any trimming back of it other than removing obviously dead branches.

I also got edging for the janky-ass garden bed and sprawled it out on the lawn to get sun and uncoil. I haven't been outside yet, but hopefully when I get out there it'll be straight and easy to work with. Cause today's singular goal is get that edging installed to move the peony. That's technically 2 goals I suppose.

But we shall see. I need to get moving aha

I think I'm going to make raspberry jam.

I'll have to talk to my grandma about it this weekend, cause I know nothing about jam making but I know she's done it many times.

The pony era has caught up with me again, I've rewatched two seasons already….. And you know what? I got the idea to portray my favorite characters as different races in this equine setting. And you know, making Palych as a Great Seedling, or rather as Spirit of Raspberry Bushes, was probably one of the best thoughts I ever came up with

/It's not a full-blown pack, of course, because there's basically supposed to be two characters, but in the end I made the decision to just go ahead and make a pack from what I get

I wish I could just buy unripe blueberries at the store. Regular blueberries very wildly in taste depending on size and ripeness and other factors, but my beloved green, non ripe blueberries all taste like little crunchy sour friends.
