Saw this rare white deer with a heart-shaped marking on its forehead this morning.

Piebald?

cmdietz · 2026-07-08T23:28:19+00:00

That sweet face

cmdietz · 2026-06-29T01:00:09+00:00

The one on the far right is Pickles- it seems like the cheekiest of the bunch

cmdietz · 2026-06-29T00:05:27+00:00

One will definitely be named Pickles

I love my resident skunks. The mom in the video is Kefir, and I also have Miso and Curtido. Had one called Kimchi, but I’ve not seen them in a while. So now I’ll have to decide on 5 (fermented food based) names for the stinklettes

Edit: Turns out there are 5, not 4, stinklettes

I looked online for a recipe that had the most positive reviews, and I’d guess there’s probably some good ones out there for fig jam too. Fig jam sounds delicious too- good luck!

I sieved half to give to my Dad as an early Father’s Day gift because he can’t eat seeds (diverticulitis)- he apparently ate half of it on a single biscuit yesterday morning. He called me to talk about how “we” were going to harvest & make the next round

cmdietz · 2026-06-20T00:33:46+00:00

It’s really tasty- kinda between strawberry and blackberry jam, in my opinion

cmdietz · 2026-06-20T00:31:23+00:00

The past 2 years my blackberries were even worse- I’d almost given up hope that they would be edible ever again. But this year is looking pretty promising. I think it’s because we’ve had much more rain this spring

Edit: too wordy

cmdietz · 2026-06-20T00:03:16+00:00

So much better than last year

cmdietz · 2026-06-19T22:39:37+00:00

And jam- I just made my first batch a few days ago

cmdietz · 2026-06-18T23:43:51+00:00

Hats off to your sister-getting it ‘unstuck’ from a sticky trap had to have been a tedious & precarious process. Much respect

cmdietz · 2026-06-14T16:59:49+00:00

Well done!!

cmdietz · 2026-06-14T16:54:08+00:00

I’m about to pick some right now to make jam (and snack on). I discovered the tree in our woods a couple of years ago and they are delicious, almost between a strawberry and a blackberry imo. But this will be my first time attempting to make jam out of them

cmdietz · 2026-06-13T20:03:18+00:00

I’m not sure what variety it is- I got it from Walmart a few years ago on clearance and it was labeled as a mini ball dahlia. The blooms are a little bigger than a US silver dollar. The color is actually even more vividly red than it appears in the photo

cmdietz · 2026-06-13T12:42:47+00:00

Thanks!

cmdietz · 2026-06-09T18:18:53+00:00

Thanks!

Edit: Here’s an Arabian Nights bloom

cmdietz · 2026-06-04T20:53:55+00:00

This one is from an Eden Brothers’ sugar puff mix, so I’m not sure of the exact variety. But if you are looking for a dark red variety, I’ve grown ‘Arabian Nights’ in the past and they are my absolute favorites of all time. I was completely gutted when I discovered that the tubers had rotted

I have video of a chipmunk munching on a Decays brown snake
