I grow heirloom tomatoes, and create new varieties. I also love antiques, obscure vintage horror films, home cooking, books, vintage clothing, music of all sorts, esoterica, history, volunteering, and meeting new friends from around the world! πŸ…πŸŒ±πŸ‘»πŸŽƒπŸ¦‡πŸ’€

Minneapolis… San Diego… Folks are pushing back. This is only going to get worse.

I have seeds for "(Fred Hempel's) Lucinda," "Vzryv," and "Babylon's Glow," to swap (along with dozens of others). Inbox me with your seeds list, if you're wanting to become trading pals. I have a tomato-oriented Discord channel, as well, if anyone is interested in joining. #TomatoSky #GardenSky

Microdwarf tomato "Micro-Tina" is setting fruits! I hope the tomatoes are decent tasting! Watch this space - I plan upon going into business, selling live micro plants, in the near future. πŸ‘ #TomatoSky #GardenSky #MicroTina #microdwarf #WolfPeaches

THIS. #MusicSky

The first ripe Blane Horton's "Babylon's Glow" (left), and Fred Hempel's Artisan "Lucinda" (right). I'll be weighing and cutting into these, tomorrow. These smell AMAZING, so I know that they're perfectly ripe. #WolfPeaches #Tomatoes #TomatoSky #GardenSky

I'm boosting my friend James' writing, again. If you enjoy clever, humourous, down-to-earth storytelling, you will love this author's work. He is the modern equivalent of Mark Twain. Please check him out! ❀️ medium.com/@j.m.sobieski #BookSky #ShortStories #JMSobieski #GoodStuffHere

Tow-Mater and Lightning McQueen, in the town square. I took these pictures a few weeks ago, but I forgot to share them. #cars

"Babylon's Glow" I can't wait to taste these! #tomato #GardenSky #PlantSky #solanum #indeterminate #NotADwarf #wolfpeach

I'm howling with laughter! 🀣🀣🀣

A sprig of "Shimofuri"! This has to be the prettiest, most unique variety of tomato plant, that I've ever grown - aside from my own strain, "Glass Spider." "BrandyFred" is also very pretty, in its own way. #Shimofuri #BunnyHopFarms #Tomato #Solanum #variegation #GardenSky

I am awfully ill today, from some kind of respiratory bug. I must've caught it when I attended a friend's funeral, last week. I had to beg off from helping at the neighborhood allotment, as not to spread germs. Therefore, I've spent the day looking for work, and potting up some tomato cuttings. 🌿

Why is it, that all of the morally corrupt people I've ever known, could fall asleep anywhere, and with their lying traps open? πŸ€” It must be difficult work, being an arsewipe.

Great news, for those who are renting in the UK. This is the first decent thing that the Labour government has done, since they came into office. The Renters' Rights Bill, coming into effect this year. blog.spareroom.co.uk/the-renters-...

Things Labour have just left broken. Voter suppression via tighter ID. FPTP in Mayoral elections. Stuffing the Beeb with populists. Offcom. Attacks by X and FB on democracy. Foreign financing of political parties. Universities. Brexit. Child poverty. What did I miss?

There needs to be revamping of benefits forms, so that disabled people can customise them more towards the things which are personally difficult / painful for them to do (or have to experience mentally) - rather than following a canned line of questioning. It is incredibly ableist, and sickening.

Consider, if you will - L. Ron Hubbard’s primary enforcer in early Scientology = Neil Gaiman’ father. Violence is not a mystery. It always begins somewhere.

"Micro-Tina,"one of the special microdwarf varieties bred for growing on the International Space Station, is doing great! I'm growing this variety in a tomato can, for a Facebook group challenge. #MicroTina #InternationalSpaceStation #tomato #MicroTomato #GardenSky

I love it (but I'm old enough to have worn many of these albums out, when they were released)! πŸ˜…

"Glass Spider" (F8) is looking great, and perfectly true to type! This is from my friend's garden, grown from the seeds I gave to him. I selectively bred this strain, for five years, in all seasons. This is the first year that I've released it. #GlassSpiderTomato #Tomato #GardenSky
