By which I mean I lugged a 50 lbs bag of soil out of the shed and spread it to top off one section of the beds, and then bought and lugged around six 25 lbs bags and spread them as well.
Then I carried all of my seed starters from the front of the house to the back and nestled them in to maintain moisture at the bottoms, not sure how much it'll help but whatever.
Then I planted the 2 tomatoes and 4 (!! Eek, they only had 4 packs so I might cull it down to 1 or 2 later in the season) cayenne peppers from the dreaded Home Depot, and a bunch of marigolds!
I might have 2 more successful tomato plants, a cucumber, a zucchini, and two flowers from my seed starts. I didn't have the space to start them indoors so I left them outside for the last 5 weeks or so. :/ Listen, it's been a stressful couple of months.
But man oh man do I feel satisfied and accomplished! Doing this all on my own. The last few weeks have been rough and even tho I might not be here in a few weeks to enjoy any of these veg, it's been good and fun for me. Moving out of this house this soon definitely wasn't in my plans... breaking up wasn't either but here we are... for now.
I might do some shade tolerant bulbs elsewhere in the yard tomorrow... not sure if I'll put them in the new flower bed or if I'll put them in the bald part of the yard behind the garden. If I'm here next year, I def want to take down some limbs from the sassafrass tree that covers the back yard. Just enough to let more light in during summer.

Not sure how ya got here, but I'm glad you're here. In my little corner of the internet. This was supposed to be a writing blog specifically, but it turned into a writing/gardening/whatever-floats-my-peach blog pretty quickly.
Check below the cut for my tags, reading, writing, and other important (to me) things.
My Tags:
#void gardens - Where I post about my garden!
#void reads - Where I post/reblog about books
#void screams - Where I scream into the void about things I really care about. Could be my own posts, could be reblogs with commentary.
#void writes - Where I'm supposed to be chuckin' my writing
How does a Void Garden?
Pretty decently, if I'm entirely honest. We (voidFiance and I) just built our first in-ground garden this spring after container growing for the previous three. We're really enjoying it, learning SO MUCH, and using it as an excuse to get outside together without our phones for at least a few minutes each day. We did four varieties of tomatoes, eight varieties of peppers (half hot and half sweet), a bunch of herbs, a summer squash, our first ever beans, two cucumbers, and - my favorite experiment - asparagus in pots for the first year with plans to put it in one of the beds next year!! The tomatoes are just starting to ripen, we got a few good squash, have more cucumbers than we know what to do with, and the beans were a hit! We're already planning to expand and rearrange next year based on what we learned.
What I'm reading
Right now, I'm working through a few mangas: Inuyasha, Mai, Ouran Host Club, and Mashle
In 2022 I set a goal to read 100 books and I did, just barely, I think I finished my last book on December 30th. Most of them were pure monster smut and I loved every second of it. I've got a lot of series that I didn't finish mostly because I was inundated with new books to add to my TBR and couldn't keep up. But feel free to slide into the DMs for some recs. I read a lot of poly and "Why Choose" books. So just a heads up, if that's not your thing, I can suggest other things. I really dug into Fantasy and SciFi smut. Love a cryptid, love an alien on a primitive world, even a couple Eldritch horrors and legit void monsters snuck in there.
2023 has been the year of collecting, thrifting, and buying books. I'm slowly building up my own personal library of books I'm reading now, books by my favorite authors, books I loved as a teenager, and generally whatever brings me joy. I don't sort them in a way that makes sense to anyone else but myself and I prefer it that way. One shelf could be all Star Wars by various authors, the next two are dedicated to one author, you may find I have almost two complete sets of Pendragon by DJ MacHale because I thought my parents lost my originals so I bought as many as I could on Ebay/Goodwill and then found out my parents just hadn't unpacked any of my books for about 8 years... The system works for me and changes every few months as I collect more books and things to display on my shelves.
My Writing
I may be 26 years old and read non stop, but writing has only been a distant "Other people do that, how could I?" dream. So this is my first real attempt at it. I have a small cast of characters bouncing around in my head. Oddly it's all about grief - which I have very little experience in - and not romance - which I have a bit more IRL experience in and I read for a year straight - So I'm keeping it kind of close to the vest for now as I figure it out. No one really has names yet, except maybe my MC. I might make a post of it's own later. It's an urban fantasy about a witch turned banshee and how she learns to treat her grief as a friend and asset. I have a feeling if I ever experience the kind of grief she has, I'll look back at this and hate it... Which is why I'm afraid to write too much of it, but sometimes you gotta write for you, and not for other people. Ya know? It's allowed to be cringey and imperfect and idealistic.
I'll chuck links to any drabbes I post from it here:
Weathering the Storm
Misc.
If you got this far, thank you! I'm not great at making friends or interacting on the internet, but I've got an open door! Feel free to drop in with whatever's on your mind! Happy Void Hopping!
