# Garrett IRL > Personal notes on making, growing, wandering, and eating. ## Posts - [The Soup Made From What Stayed](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/the-soup-made-from-what-stayed/): A few carrots, half an onion, and the last scoop of lentils were enough to make dinner feel considered. I like a pot of soup that begins with what’s already waiting in the kitchen. - [Keeping the Tomato Bed Small](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/keeping-the-tomato-bed-small/): A single tomato plant can still take over a garden if I give it the chance. This year, I’m leaving more room for basil, open soil, and the pleasure of tending a bed without a grand plan. - [Taking the Long Way Through Town](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/taking-the-long-way-through-town/): A missed bus turned a short errand into an afternoon on foot, past shop windows, back streets, and a bakery cooling rack. I came home remembering the route more than the destination. - [A Sketchbook Made From Leftovers](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/a-sketchbook-made-from-leftovers/): A stack of offcuts and a few imperfect folds became a place to keep the small things I nearly forgot. The uneven pages are part of why I like it. ## Pages - [Contact](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/contact/): Reader correspondence, book suggestions, and questions about a project are all welcome. Notes are read individually, as time away from the workshop allows. - [About](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/about/): I write about the things I make, grow, eat, and go looking for, mostly because I want a record of what I actually tried. - [Blog](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/blog/): Essays and dispatches on what I’m making, growing, and eating, and the places I’ve been. Newest entries first. - [Home](https://teal-termite-810559.hostingersite.com/): Welcome. I'm Garrett, and this blog follows my personal interests and knowledge.
