Why yams are planted in June and July

Yams are planted in June and July because these months typically mark the start of the rainy season in tropical and subtropical regions, providing the necessary moisture for germination and early growth. Warm soil temperatures, ideally between 25-30°C (77-86°F), support optimal root development. In colder countries, yams should be planted after the last frost, around late spring (May or early…

Planting according to the moon cycle calendar, known as lunar gardening, aligns sowing, transplanting, and harvesting with the phases of the moon. The lunar cycle affects moisture levels in the soil and gravitational forces, influencing plant growth. Planting during specific moon phases is believed to enhance germination rates, root development, and overall plant vigor. Benefits include increased yield, healthier plants, and reduced need for pesticides and fertilizers. This age-old practice integrates celestial rhythms into gardening, fostering a deeper connection with nature and potentially yielding more abundant harvests.

The strange quiet at the very end of a mid-May greenhouse Saturday workday is something so eerie to me. In only another week or so, all of this will be empty for another year.

After a year of planning, weeks of planting and months of keeping it all alive and hoping it grew well, it all goes so quickly out into the world

I feel like in the aftermath all Lilith will have seen is her apprentice having nearly done irreparable harm to herself because she’s been so messed up by her parents and the coven system and the need to be useful and be the best and end up just so seeing herself in everything Amity’s done, repeating all the self sabotaging behaviors that led to her cursing her sister, and she’d just have her heart break a bit. Maybe even confess to Amity what she’d done to Eda, to sell the point that the pursuit of perfection is a Bad Idea.

I dunno if it would be enough to get her to step down as coven head but I do feel like she would want to put as much of her time and energy in the aftermath towards being Amity’s mentor and guardian before anything else, so she doesn’t end up going down the same road she did.

i was thinking about this too. although honestly i was thinking of something Slightly worse.

in that lilith has been getting snappy and impatient with how distracted amity is and how many mistakes she's making, bc lilith herself is a perfectionist who's great at projecting onto random kids.

like. she's a good mentor! for the most part. she's supportive and encouraging and she loves amity to DEATH. and she would burn down the empire if anybody hurt her.

but. She Is Lilith.

so at one point she loses her temper with amity failing at some abomination-related working she's done a thousand times before -- because to her, it looks like amity has just stopped caring -- and says something along the lines of "just because our empress is permissive doesn't mean you can give up on your studies. how will you ever keep up with the coven like this"

and then amity is like well! lilith hates me and is going to drop me like yesterday's garbage and i can't even fix it because something's wrong with me. i have to do SOMETHING

.....and then she sets her memories on fire.

How do you feel about the increase in really weird NSFW ads on here (advertising panels that look like sexual encounters, and AI art apps that pride themselves on porn) but will take down NSFW posts from their users, even if it isn't technically sexual.

i hate all social media and it's consistent prioritising the advertisers over the users and the internet simply was a better place before capitalism sunk its hooks into it

Hello folks! I come bearing gifts. And by gifts, I mean a new story I'm writing!

It's called Barren Soil! A woman wakes up as a tree person in the Barren, a world whose main feature is sprawling plains of utterly nothing, with the notable exception of the Citadel colony. Whatever to expect:

- litRPG system

- dryad shapeshifting shenanigans

- rebelling against capitalist oligarchs

- myriad of varied non-human people

- fighting fucked up creatures from all over the multiverse

There are currently 5 chapters published, each around 1500 words. If you're interested, here's the link:

Idk who needs to hear this, but if you think you are annoying and that no one likes you, just be glad you aren't my Earth Surface Processes professor who is so awful at his job and so hated by his students that we had an insult tally on the whiteboard during our 2 hour study session.

(Do not feel bad for this man. He absolutely deserves it.)

Oh hey! This one used to be a pony! That's right, I took some of my old pony designs and converted them to merfolk! I haven't decided on a better name for her yet, but it's the one formerly named Eight-Note Beats! Weeee

The importances of our mountains

Mountains are ecologically important because they: Provide a haven for a broad spectrum of plant and animal species, making them biodiversity hotspots. Regulate climate by influencing air circulation, cloud formation, and precipitation levels. Act as sources of freshwater. Store and sequester carbon. Provide important goods, including wood, pastures for livestock, drinking water, and clean air.

breaking news! grown adult discovers concept of "gardening gloves"; personally confirms that yes, they do in fact make the whole experience of planting things more pleasant. amazing and groundbreaking.

Which main descendants AK and vk have the most wasted potential in your opinion?

I personally think all of them as I stated before In my wasted potential series but wanted your opinion?

“All of them” is accurate! The Descendants films are a graveyard of wasted potential

The Sea Three could’ve played a much bigger role in the plot; it would’ve been amazing to have subplots developing their plans to get off the Isle across all of the films

Even as far as the Core Four go a lot of potential character development was wasted, & Jay especially was ignored, particularly in D3. I really liked how in the books Mal & Jay were closer friends with each other and Evie & Carlos were as well; it would’ve been cool to see that instead of defaulting to grouping them more by gender.

As far as AKs go, it’s hard to pick just one! It would’ve been neat for Disney to more deeply explore that the AKs didn’t have perfect childhoods & also had the potential to do bad things, like they sort of brought up with Audrey at the end of D3 but it would’ve been cool to see AKs also breaking rules etc to drive home the point that in a lot of ways they weren’t so different from the VKs.

If I had to say one: Ben literally became king at the end of D1, which is a stupid amount of pressure to put on a high school student for no reason, but then he just…does nothing. Why give him that kind of political power & then ignore it. It could’ve easily been a different ceremony that necessitated getting the wand out in D1. He was already busy enough with school/being prepared to become king/extracurriculars to be too distracted to notice Mal doing magic for D2’s plot, and then in D3 everyone asks Mal what to do instead of Ben who is literally king. I know everyone’s already complained about that, but sheesh. Why did they make him king at the age of 16, and if they had to do that why didn’t they make it matter to the plot? That’s wasted potential

Basically I think it would’ve been really cool if the Descendants film canon had been more cohesively planned ahead and had a big overarching plot connecting the 3 films, or at least subplots that developed across the films. It would’ve been cool to see a build up to everyone agreeing to take the barrier down for a variety of reasons & figuring out a good way to do it instead of having it just be Mal’s whim at the end of D3 and everyone suddenly excited to see their abusive parents, who for all we know still want to destroy Auradon for revenge. It sort of feels like not only were all 3 written as mostly separate stories, but the writers forgot a lot of what they’d done in the previous film(s) each time. The whole VK Day thing is a horrifyingly bad idea as it is, but it also forgets that Dizzy was already invited & Evie said she would make a list of other VKs at the end of D2. As much as I do enjoy it, the whole franchise is a monument to wasted potential
