Yay! First future pickle plucked from the vine this morning. Many more in process! Also there are swams of honey bees all over my lemon tree now that it’s fully in bloom. 🥰🐝 #garden

Managed to get the annual move of my lemon tree to the basement for overwintering done today with the help of my neighbor. It’s become way too big and heavy to move all on my own. Just in time too, temperatures are supposed to be near freezing this week.
Got the grow light set up with my automation time schedule. Fruit will probably be ready to harvest in another week or two. Taking pleasure in the little things. 🍋🌱 #garden

Probably good to have an #introduction of sorts.
Hello there!
I run a small organisation (of one) which designs and writes puzzle and treasure hunts and hides them in books in exchange for joy and dopamine. I also design and make the treasures, occasionally with support from actual craft experts.
I also maintain a small #library of armchair treasure hunts, text games, Ergodic literature, other unusual books which is growing all the time.
On top of that, I spend a lot of time researching the above and maintaining a permanent #archive of these things to support my creative process.
I have a small #garden that I spend a lot of time in, making sure there’s pretty flowers and the occasional food to eat. It is trying to be a wildlife haven.
Other important things in my life: good music, damn fine coffee, FOSS / open source, libraries, twin peaks, #retrogames, books books books, exploring the UK wilds and hiking, woodworking, finding out interesting historical things.

Israel is not just committing genocide of people but also cultural and ecological genocide. 90% of Palestinian olive trees have been destroyed in the last few years, farms and livelihoods destroyed. A network of Palestinians and allies seeks to preserve Palestinian heirloom seeds and cultural heritage. See below to support this group, order seeds, raise awareness and offer to be a seed saver.

The hummingbirds are still coming but very infrequently and now really only in the mornings. Seems like most of them have left for warmer climates for the winter. Feeder will stay up for now, just not sure when to take it down. 🤔 #garden

Any UK / European mycologists on here? Found this growing in our Sussex UK garden. Think it might be the very uncommon:
CROWN-TIPPED / CANDELABRA fungus
Artomyces pyxidatus
Although I accept it could just be Upright Coral (Ramaria Stricta), but I'm not convinced on it.
Have tried specialist app ID as well as general AI. No book here to consult. Any ideas?
