#home garden

Regarding home gardening, someone please share the squash post.

If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.

If you know a trans person, no you don't. Respect them as best you can in private but you know nothing in public.

Be aware that TikTok will likely be banned, find new platforms to spread information. Fuck Twitter and what ever tiktok replacement he's working on.

Learn to Garden, even in winter so you can feed yourself should prices skyrocket

Get an air purifier. The Clean Air Act is likely to be stripped of its power with the EPA deregulated, air quality is going to suffer

Should you have kids, try to supplement history/social studies education. That's the first place they will attack, if you need help ask, history teacher will help

Try and do what you can to be aware of your health before January.

Help one another. That's the best way we can move forward and make change in the future.

local hardware store sent out a newsletter yesterday saying they had a ton of fruit trees come in stock. come in and ask them how each variety are different.

decided y'know what, elderberry would be nice in the front flower garden instead of the cacti, or the pollinators. i need the expensive ass soil anyway let's go.

i asked nice lady - who i see often and know is in charge of plants - what's the difference between the 5 varieties they had.

"oh, no difference actually. same as if there's a different between apples... blueberries... raspberries... it's all no real difference."

my tounge is bleeding from how much i bit it, holding back a lecture about how winecrisps are the superior apple compared to granny smith or honeycrisp or many others and how each can be catered to different clima--

Another weekend, another tomato harvest.

this is what the orange box store calls them, but came up when i typed garden bed bricks. i have them too, and tbh.... only get if you don't have a hammer and don't want to buy a box of nails. power drill with deck screws is ideal, but power tools are not in everyone's toolbox. these bricks are for those with no tools at all.

fun fact: fence posts are cheaper than 2x4s, albeit last only 3 to 4 years where 2x4s lasts about 6 years. but some 2x4s are "treated" and they SHOULD say on the board what they're treated with (organic or chemical, obvi chemical bad for edible plants) but i avoid all that by using cedar fence post for temporary beds and painting 2x4s with outdoor enamel for more permanent beds.

i can get my dad to write a post about what wood is best for which graden bed scenario if anybody is interested 📝🤔

So not only did I hit my 1 scene writing goal today, BUT we successfully built a 15ft long, 2.5ft deep, 1.5ft high raised garden bed today! Don't mind the lawn debris, just lining the bottom of it with things that will break down into tasty nutrients for the roses and raspberries we plan to plant in there.

I admit, it's not much of a looker, but in the winter you won't see it because of the snow, and in the summer you won't see it because of plants. At least that's the plan.

It snowed yesterday, and we can't plant anything this year, but because I have a massive shipment of free high quality dirt that we need to get out of the allyway/driveway...we needed to get building. It's gonna take us days to move the dirt actually INTO the bed, but we got a good start on it today. (After I took these pictures. Because by then I was covered in dirt.)

The goal for the bed and surrounding area is like:

But I still have to work up actual plans.

The meal I’ve been waiting for the whole year! Well, I always make this spaghetti, but not with stuff from my own garden! Today, I finally had enough ripe and semi-ripened cherry tomatoes to make a serving. I also used one of my garlic heads, which, by the way, are curing nicely. I even managed to pull oregano, thyme, and a bit of basil. Sadly, the onions are not yet ready, so I used a store-bought one. The basil that I managed to harvest is not enough, so I had to use dried basil from the shelf. It’s such an easy, quick, and wholesome lunch. I think my non-existing Italian ancestors would approve. 17-Aug-2023
