Some may have doubted my ability to grow cucumbers in a small pot, but I have proof it is possible. Granted, they are very small cucumbers, and they show no sign of increasing in size, but they are definitely cucumbers:
Yeah, I’ll never be a gardener, will I?
In just the few hours since I posted, the fires have got worse. They’re evacuating some of the hill suburbs, and the smoke is coming from a huge swath across the hills now – I was just at a function on the 6th floor of another campus building, which has an unimpeded view across the…
