Came to the orchard to pick pears and found a bonus shirt full of the biggest, fattest figs I’ve ever had. #gonnabeagooddaytater #growfood

Sadly, we are coming to the end of the tomato onslaught. I consider any tomatoes I get in August and beyond a bonus, as the plants have blight and struggle with our summer heat. It’s always sweet while it lasts though. Took these photos for my coming cookbook. Chowed down afterwards. #growfood #eatgoodfood #grownostr

Cooking for five sons aka why I grow food.

An interesting evening sky tonight over South Carolina.

Enjoyed gardening under the sunset last night. I also enjoyed that it was *only* 86 degrees at 9pm after days of a murderous heat wave.

Front porch. Summertime. Preferably eaten barefoot after finishing garden chores.

Dr. Wyche’s Yellow tomato is one of my top recs for anyone wanting to grow heirlooms. Fruits are all over 1lb each, super meaty and delicious, and the plants are healthy and prolific. This harvest was from 3 plants. I’ve already pulled at least this many, some of which topped 2 lbs, and there are many more left to ripen. #grownostr #gardenstr #gardening #growfood

I recently got into smoking meat. I still have a lot to learn but I did a pork belly the other day and my boys approved. Anyone have any favorites that I should try next? I do have a home raised turkey in the freezer I’m thinking of pulling out and trying. #foodstr

This is summertime. #grownostr #growfood

It’s currently slated for the end of summer 2026!
