I don’t grow it, but I have had two friends eat them and they described absolutely horrific hallucinations

Sorry I don’t know but I think you can get away with it. You would want to start them probably within 4 weeks, and yes use the row cover.

Ohh it’s hail! I looked at the picture before I read and I was thinking blight. I think it’s going to survive. There’s still plenty of hot summer left. Cut off the dead stuff, give a good dose of fertilizer and keep it watered. Looks like it’s watered now so I think ya it’s going to be fine.

It looks really nice and easy to manage. I’m glad to not have the Bermuda grass here but we have our own issues. Like blackberries and knotweed. Now can you walk through that hoop? And how do you use it? Is there a plastic cover for it? I love how you have opted for food instead of lawn too I wanted to say.

Mushrooms are just so neat. I’ve inoculated a log with oysters but haven’t seen any yet.
Do you really have that much mulch? The other day I was watering and I realized that the bark mulch was hydrophobic and not letting any moisture in at all. Internet said I had applied it too think maybe. So I pulled off most of it. Watered the dirt directly and immediately noticed a change in my plants. I thought bark mulch would be such a benefit but really maybe not. In the veggie beds I only use straw which seems to do a lot better but obviously doesn’t look so great for the flower beds. What kind of mulch do you use and are you having that issue at all?

Yes about methane and also that forests get cut down to make space for pasture.

If everyone switched to EV cars there would surely be fewer emissions from motors but that would not be the only issue. One is the mining of metals for batteries and the cars themselves. That process, along with shipping parts around produces greenhouse gasses and environmental harm. Then consider that we are not removing carbon nor does EV cars combat the largest sources of greenhouse gases like coal/ natural gas, textile manufacturing, concrete, shipping, and beef. Additionally, the EVs need electricity to charge and if everyone on earth today switched to EVcars many of those would end up being powered by the coal power plants (although it would be a more efficient use of fossil fuel).
Electric vehicles are great and should be used. They do come with their own set of environmental problems to consider. It also worth noting that production and consumption of vehicles and everything else on the planet needs to slow. We simply have too many people doing too much. So if you have an old gas powered car that still runs, don’t throw it out to buy a new EV.

This reminds me of a scene in the book Shogun where Blackthorne is asked something like “how could you possibly be excused for rebellion?”
“If you win”
I don’t want Trump to win! But he could probably weasel out of this mess by becoming president

Hey it’s also important to prepare ourselves for a changing climate so thank you for sharing.
Want to hear something to make your blood boil? COP28 is being held in UAE and run by an oil tycoon
Fall is a great time to plant these foxglove seeds, that’s Digitalis purpurea. DM me your US address and get some free seeds! There’s no catch. I just love sharing seeds
I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient
Should I give it to my veggie seedlings? Should I apply it more than once to veggies? Should I also use all purpose granular fertilizers ? What would be like a general schedule?
That rose is a climber called Kiss-Me-Kate and it’s so fragrant
My beds are on the ground, not raised. It’s just grass in between them and when I mow it throws seeds in my beds and it’s so difficult to manage. Thinking about hoeing the grass out, adding a double layer of cardboard and then maybe some bark chips or straw just to hold it in place. What do you think? Do you foresee any issues? What do you have between your beds?

Do y’all see what I’m seeing there on Join Lemmy? On the join a server page. We created that instance but it wasn’t working correctly so we rebooted it but the old disabled version still displays with a funky name. Can Lemmy remove that?
