Welcome to the Cattywampus Garden Chronicles — a chaotic, hilarious, and surprisingly educational journey through my first real attempt at seed starting, pest battling, strawberry kingdoms, and keeping plants alive in the Texas heat.
This page is the master hub for these series:
The Squash & Zucchini Redemption Arc
A story of legginess, panic, makeshift engineering, and my ongoing war against squash vine borers.
The Indoor Seed Incubator Chronicles
A cozy, nerdy, mildly panicked adventure into humidity domes, grow lights, and the thrill of watching tiny green things sprout.
The Strawberry Dynasty Chronicles
A snarky, mildly unhinged saga about five Lowe’s impulse‑buy strawberry plants, one confused gardener, and the accidental founding of a royal lineage. Featuring mothers, daughters, traitorous runners, political exiles, and the ongoing quest to build a self‑sustaining strawberry empire in the chaotic climate of Central Texas.
