GM 🧙🏻‍♂️ I was feeling grateful this morning that I’ve sold gardening calendars to 6 different states so far 🥰 so me and Dall-E made some commemorative garden variety thank you notes. Which is your fav? Enjoy a little whimsy for your weekend, and go forth and be a garden variety wizard! #gardenvariety #garden #gardening

GM 🌞 the gardening calendar I designed for yall has arrived! And I love it! 🥰 It’s available for zones 3-10 — you can find the listing at the top of gardenvarietyblog.com 🌻😎 #2025 #garden #calendar

Happy almost Friday my people

Conversations with my husband: Me: You hear they brought accusations against Jay-Z today? Him: No but why are all these music folks involved in all this crime?? Me: it’s all about the blackmail… Him: what? Me: it’s all about the blackmail… you know if you get people to do bad enough stuff then you can control what they say through blackmail… Him: OOOOH I THOUGHT YOU SAID BLACK MALE… Me: …

Most years I make some kind of sentimental group gift for my family, like matching ornaments. Well, this year they’re getting not-so-sentimental fridge magnets 🤣😈 Tis the season to be a menace.

GM ☕️ Yesterday the DC Court said “yes the #tiktokban violates free speech BUT it’s not unconstitutional bc National Security trumps first amendment”. So the ban is set to go forward as of Jan 19. There is a special provision that would allow Biden to delay the ban, but I highly doubt he’ll use it especially now that the election is over. That being said, I would laugh SO LOUD if Truth Social strikes a deal with ByteDance and prevents the ban that way. I’m not making a moral argument for this outcome, but it is certainly a possible outcome… and certainly one that would make me laugh on a troll level. I’m a menace. 😈

Heh heh heh. Nothing like poking the hornets on TikTok and then just turning off notifications and walking away. 😈 virtual mic dropped em. Now to finish enjoying my Friday. Cheers!

The castle especially makes this vibe complete

GM ☃️ Sent out an email to my blog subscribers this morning, but just wanted to take a second to appreciate my new logo 🤣 #gardenvarietyjess #gardening #2025calendar

GE 🌅🌃 just a little update on the year-round gardening calendars: zones 3-10 are all up in the shop! 😎🪴📆 Hot off the presses for 2025: https://gardenvarietymarket.etsy.com #gardeners #gardening #gardenstr #flowwerstr #garden

GM again 😇 wanna see 3 years of growth? Same window for scale 😆 she’s really putting the “monster” in monstera! 🪴 #houseplants #monstera #plantstr

GM 😎 Wanna know the most annoying thing about TikTok? The people with private accounts who only appear during the middle of the night to argue about some tiny detail using multiple comments that are capped at 150 characters and do not stay in order! That is annoying AF. Don’t be that person. Lol

GM 🪴 HT - full disclosure: I illustrate way too slow, so the 2025 #GardenVariety Calendar I designed had to become a minimalist first edition. 😅 But she’s done and published for Zones 6-9 so far. I’ll be publishing the rest of the zones this weekend. If you want to check them out, they’re in my Etsy store: https://www.etsy.com/shop/GardenVarietyMarket #gardenvarietyjess #gardenvarietyblog #gardenvarietymarket

My aunt is a little extra when it comes to Christmas, and we all give her a bit of a hard time about it because she puts up a dozen trees every year. 😅 Tonight I was having dinner with the fam, and had the following convo with her grandson: Me: How many Christmas trees does your GiGi put up? Him: …. (thinks while putting fingers up in the air like he’s counting)…… ENOUGH! Uncle: Enough to make you feel like you’re living in a forest… or a Cracker Barrel! 🤣💀🎅🏼🎄
