Gardening -Radishes Gone Wild

By Cynthia Sax on December 10, 2024

We allowed our radish section in the backyard to go wild this year.

The radish plants reproduced and spread. They flowered. Bees LOVE radish flowers. And they produced seeds. We harvested some of the seeds to use next year.

These radishes were, what we jokingly referred to as, our emergency rations. Both the leaves and the roots of radishes are edible. They were there when we ran out of other vegetables.

Toward the end of the season, the Dear Wonderful Hubby pulled up a couple of radish plants. They had huge roots and surprisingly, they were great tasting. They weren’t woody at all!

We’ll definitely do this again next year!

Claiming Cure

A proud cyborg medic meets his human match.

***

Cyra has tasks to complete before she dies.

There are patients to heal, a dangerous mission to undertake, and a world to save. She doesn’t have time to entertain uninvited guests.

Especially one coldhearted cyborg medic who thinks he’s better than her.

The male might be breathtakingly handsome. His sternly set lips might be extremely kissable. And his touch might draw out a passion she didn’t think she was capable of feeling.

But he’s also a distraction, one that might doom millions of innocent beings to a painful, horrible death.

Cure isn’t emotionless. He feels…greatly. Listening to that malfunction has caused other beings pain and suffering in the past.

He refuses to allow his desires to cloud his judgment now.

His resolve is tested when he’s forced to associate with the most provoking, alluring medic in the universe.

Cyra is his genetic match, the one being in the universe he is fated to protect, touch, claim. She’s clever and beautiful, and the need to hold her almost downs his systems.

But now is not the time to indulge his great wanting.

Cure has an assignment to complete.

If he fails to accomplish his goals, everyone he cares for, including his human female, will die.

***

Claiming Cure is a standalone Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.

It features two skilled medics determined to ignore the toe-curling attraction between them, a perilous impossible mission, and foes seeking to ensure they never heal another being ever again.

Thinning The Radishes And Other Gardening Experiments

By Cynthia Sax on January 28, 2023

Writing SciFi Romance wasn’t a random choice for me. (grins) I love science, especially conducting experiments.

That extends to my gardening. I am constantly experimenting and testing things.

I continue to grow veggies in the basement grow station the Dear Wonderful Hubby set up for me.

I was told that thinning radishes would result in larger radishes faster.

So I tried that and I found NO difference, except now I have fewer radishes to harvest. The radishes took the same time to grow and were roughly the same size.

I have also been trying to grow onions from onion bottoms. I cut the bottoms or root ends off the store bought onions, put them in water for a while until they grew longer roots and then stuck them in some dirt.

The onion tops (the green part) grew vigorously. I have yet to see any sort of bulb form.

I still have hope, however, and will be continuing to grow them.

I’ll give you an update in a couple months or sooner!

Raw Desires

His human female is attempting to kill him.
This cyborg finds that adorable.

Raw, a K model cyborg, is one of the lucky warriors who has located his genetic match. He hears his human female’s voice over the communication lines and immediately processes she is his.


Winning her affections will be a greater challenge. Battle has always been Raw’s focus. The rough-and-tough warrior has no idea how to engage anyone’s tender emotions.

Fortunately, he isn’t alone in the universe. His unmatched male friends help him craft a plan.

All Raw has to do is relay a few unsettlingly sweet words to his female and give her the thoroughly unfunctional wall decoration he has obtained. He projects she will then jump into his big, strong arms and beg him to claim her.

Taytu isn’t jumping anywhere. She has one mission—kill every cyborg in existence.

The huge, handsome male traveling to meet with her is her first target. His rough hands, firm lips, and sparkling, energy-infused eyes won’t save him from her vengeance. She has trained vigorously for this moment, and she won’t fail at her assigned task.

The cyborg will die.

Raw Desires is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
