Sansevieria trifasciata recently reclassified as Dracaena trifasciata (snake plant)

Snake plants are native to tropical West Africa from Nigeria east to the Congo. The stomata on its leaves close during the day and open at night to reduce evaporation. This makes Sansevieria trifasciata drought resistant and in winter it can tolerate two months without water. At this time of year, I give my snake plant a little sip of the wet stuff every two weeks or so but that's only if I remember.

Supposedly, it can be difficult to make snake plants flower but these magnificent specimens, under a skylight in a local shopping mall, are in full bloom. Coincidentally, the one in my living room is flowering too. I'm not surprised, snake plants thrive on neglect. Indeed, you can kill them with kindness - root rot from overwatering is the leading cause of snake plant death.

Pot of Lost tags!

This is the pot of sprouts that lost their tags! I’m not a gardener. I had no clue what these guys were buttttt now that they are bigger I aeee some tomatoes and maybe pumpkin or Mellon spinach and carrots!!!

Over here we have the strawberries, beans and carrots, and the giant plant is some pathetic looking tomato’s that were clinging to life at Walmart! No idea what kind they just keep growing 😊

This is my army of sunflowers that just keep coming back year after year. I don’t do anything. I planted them once and now they own that dirt square that refuses to support other life.

This is my blueberry, raspberry, and rose area. (I don’t pull dandelions because they are beautiful and the other plants don’t mind them)

This is my meadow! Lots of big fat Winnie the Pooh bumblers hang out here. I will be further meadowing other parts of the yard next year!!! We are going to to the entire side of the house once we find the right seed combination! ( if you have some ideas please let me know. The side I’m talking about is very shaded and the soil here is garbage)

(We have daisies and bell flowers on the other side of the house but I have no shoes on and I am unwilling to go get them on just to take a picture)

A few pics from the garden. Went away for the weekend and everything is thriving without me, which is a really nice feeling. 😊 Just have to catch up on the weeding. I should probably mulch the area with woodchips or something, but I kind of love letting the dandelions bloom where they want and then pulling them so the bees are happy. I don't think I have the heart to get rid of them completely.

I love the pale garden and how it's like a parallel to dark forests. I love how the two divert expectations.

Dark forests, despite their name, are saturated and full of life. Even compared to regular forests, there's a lot more biodiversity than many of the "basic" biomes. There's three whole different trees found there, giant mushrooms, and plenty of flowers. They're one of the biomes capable of spawning a lush cave underneath it. It has its dangers just like any other overworld biome, obviously, but it's nothing overly more than anywhere else. Traversing it can be tricky sometimes and illagers may take residence in the biome's woodland mansions, but it's ultimately a very colorful and lively environment.

Opposing it is the new pale garden. Usually white and light colors are seen as pristine and good, but the pale garden takes it the opposite direction and goes right into uncanny valley territory. It has none of the color of dark forests, none of the biodiversity, none of the liveliness. It has trees and moss that look familiar, but something is off. It has a signature mob, but even the creaking is just a puppet of the trees, not really sentient, not really even plotting against anything. There's "life", but, once again, it's wrong.

I think the pale garden is a wonderful addition to Minecraft's world building as it is, but the deliberate parallel to dark forests? Delicious.

Ari + emotional comfort sex (calming the other down from anger, etc)

Your fingers were trembling as you clung onto his shoulders, your whole body shaking with hiccups of crying.

It was slowly fading away, that ache in your chest, but the tears wouldn't stop as a different kind of overwhelming feelings took over.

You were unbound.

Possibly for the first ever time, since Ari stepped into the role of your Master and partner, there was no power imbalance between you.

Quite the opposite, Ari kept you on top, seated atop his lap and taking the pace you wanted. Yes, he could easily flip you over and pin you down with the sheer mass of his body - that was enough of overpowering to get you going. But he made no move to even clasp your wrists behind your back.

Ari's hands were gently caressing every inch of your body as he slowly rolled his hips beneath you, keeping you filled with him even as your movements stilled for a pause of shaky breath.

"I love having you tied, tamed and helpless for our mutual pleasure." Ari mouthed along the skin of your neck. "But you-"

He leaned back enough to look into your eyes, shiny with tears that were still coming, but now sweeter.

"You are what I want, Cherie."

"It's not the cuffs and toys and obedience, but you. With your playfulness and brattiness, and soft, caring heart."

You breathed out his name, your eyelashes fluttering against your cheeks. You slid your hands to his back and up, to comb your fingers through his hair.

What started out as a heartbreak induced by your own insecurities and fears that he would get bored of you, because you weren't a sweet obedient submissive all the other Doms praised so much; turned into a heart-clenching burst of love you didn't expect.

Ari's breath tickled your stiff nipple, before his mouth closed around it and sucked. Your pussy clenched around him in response, eliciting a pleased groan.

"Besides-" he murmured, releasing your peak with a wet pop- "I don't need you to be a sweet submissive. You taste sweetly tart and it's incomparable to anything else."

He placed a kiss on your sternum - a tender seal of his love.

Then mouthed at your other breast, sinking his teeth into the soft swell with enough sting to let you know your Master was lurking beneath his skin, just waiting for you to be ready to give yourself to him completely.

With a sniffle, you buried your tears-streaked face in the crook of Ari's neck; clinging to him.

His arms enclosed you in a tight embrace, one palm stroking along your back. When you whispered "I love you, Sir," that palm clenched around the back of your neck.

You knew that in a split of a moment he'd strip you of any physical power, but give you love and attention so intense you'd burst into tears all over again.

I pretty much only eat these fresh or make pies out of them. So if you have any recepies you like, I'd love to hear about them.

Broke: "Twilight's father's eyes were hidden because he doesn't remember his face/doesn't want to."

Woke: "His father's eyes weren't shown because he's actually the Shopkeeper."

Call it a crack theory (someone else actually explained it quite well on this post) but I believe it enough to spend 5 hours on that drawing. Man just tanned a lot from all the gardening.

I want to advocate for "do it lazy", because I see a lot of "do it badly" posts, but I think specifically with gardening, people are told they need to do it perfectly to succeed but no, you can make a lot of food with a half-effort.

Here is my garden:

It is so full of weeds I cannot even, but, look at all these peas!

I grew those! I just put seeds in the ground and watered them a few times and half-weeded. It worked out great!

This is my currant bush (asparagus in the back). Last year I made 6 jars of jam and a cake out of them. It just basically grows on it's own now. I also grow strawberries, something that also just mostly does it own thing and I prune occasionally:

I also grow herbs and they bloom really prettily:

(this is a chive and a sage) Now serious gardeners will tell you not to let them bloom for max production, but they still taste fine and they look nice and feed bees, so I just let them do their thing.

I grow tomatoes for sauce (picture right), basil for pesto (picture left), asparagus (comes up all on it's own now), potatoes, watermelon, cucumbers, and broccoli as well.

I have both a front and backyard garden (that little strip of tomatoes and peas is the backyard) because I think growing grass is dumb. I don't start my own seedlings indoors, for a combination of pet, kid, window, and time issues, I just buy seedlings. It did take a lot of effort one year to build my garden, but now it's pretty low maintenance. I have chickens so I put their waste in the garden as fertilizer. I water if it looks really dry.

So anyway, my point is, you can grow food. You can do it without investing your whole life into it. I admire my friend's and my dad's beautiful weeded and better planned garden, but mine does work and I spend like 10% of the time they do. Do it lazy! Eat some delicious home grown food.

(I am very lucky to own a house with a yard. I have also grown gardens in apartment buildings, using pots. My chive has actually travelled with me throughout my university career, often in a pot. You can grow a little herb garden or some cherry tomatoes on a windowsill. You may also be able to access a community garden if your city has that available.)
