Thank you! And may I add bee fingerguns emoji

 

Hey folks, just sharing a video I made (<4 minutes long) during my time transplanting blueberries yesterday. If you decide to watch, thanks!

Thank you for crossposting this here! I sent the original thread to a few friends who have dabbled in hydro setups this morning. Keep up the great work!

Something I like to do is to take their call scripts and mail them as signed letters. Phone calls can be useful, sure (when they're answered or the answering machine isn't full or disabled), but my understanding is that written letters are taken more seriously in those offices. The order of significance, as it was explained to me, goes email -> phone call -> letter.

Jones said he would move to a new studio, websites and social media accounts that were already set up.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs were too busy high-fiving over another set of seizable assets to respond prior to publication

They're the best, hands down!

Hah I wish! It's be cuteness overload

Things have been a little tough for Sudo since Juniper arrived, since he's used to taking up all of my attention. Playtimes are now in between her naps, and her janky motions have kinda freaked him out over the past few days. We still have cuddle time after she goes to bed for the night, and I managed to snap this shot of the two of us this evening.

I'm not going to lie, I'm jealous of the home automation control and your average inside temps! I've got a small grow closet and have the shutoff thermostat in the lowest level of shelving, but am not allowed to have it below 68F because of the newborn and a wife who is always cold 😂

Very cool! Are you relying on your lights and ambient heat for temperature maintenance, or are you supplementing the heat?

Kakistocracy, noun - government by the least suitable or competent citizens

 

We're having some trees removed soon (they're dying and leaning towards our house) so today I spent some time carefully relocating some volunteer lowbush blueberry plants from where the heavy machinery will be working.

You're so smart!! Only one of us is being condescending and it's me", to which Shawn replies "if you have to announce when you're condescending, you're doing it wrong."

OP replies "that's a great observation, Shawn! Great job!" with a heart emoji]

 

Obligatory pedantry:

We would also accept "soil", since we're talking about the life in the mineral earth

Today, our gardens were my biggest source of solace and hope, and I hope that yours are comfort for you all as well. I went hard planting more fruit bushes and will be hitting up our town's seed library tomorrow to hedge some bets for next spring.

One of the plant families I went big on this past year is Pycnanthemum - mountain mints. Not only are they a good source of nutrition for pollinators, they have the added benefit of being an abortifacient you can grow on the DL. There are a number of species, not just P. virginianum, so check to see what's endemic to your region and have a patch growing for your local support network <3

This is admittedly stupid but I laughed a bunch while making it

We've had an overnight low of 21°F already, despite the unseasonable daily high temps. One of the things I prefer to do after our first few frosts is harvesting our Jerusalem artichokes (Helianthus tuberosus) because of the chemical changes they undergo - the starches change and they become a little sweeter.

If you haven't yet (and you haven't), please suggest a plant nursery doing good things in your region (or a region other than your own, that's fine too) so others visiting can put their plant dollars towards nurseries engaged in good works and social equity.
