#the garden cube

[buttressarcade]

The Garden Cube is a small, cube-shaped pavilion. The cube is designed to be accessible and inviting, with enough space for a few people to interact comfortably. Inside the cube, there is a small, built in, comfortable seating area made from natural materials where people can relax and engage with the various sensory elements.

Informative panels provide educational content about the plants, sounds, and textures featured on/around the cube. It is also designed to be accessible for all visitors, with features that accommodate people of different ages and abilities.

Compact. Engaging. Educational.

Parks again lol

So I discovered Fear Garden II exists. Suffice to say I’ve been going a little crazy

(No real spoilers here btw [I don’t think these are anyways..] the book doodle is just a funsies one we still have no idea who the vessel is!)

Two things with very different, yet very similar, flavors of spooky

[oifaaa]

see more dumb ones would be talia going like. "learn glazed ceramics" and jason wondering why he needs to be a zelda clue map

What do you think they were doing before the flower arranging Jason needed to get that nice flower vase from somewhere

I just saw an image of The Beast (Over the Garden Wall not Beauty) again and me being a huge but lowkey fan of the Cube Escape / Rusty Lake series...

ALBERT. Get away from that child, Albert. I KNOW WHAT HAPPENED THE LAST TIME YOU WERE LEFT ALONE WITH A CHILD, ALBERT. Your nephew suffered needlessly and your sister grieved and you knew exactly where he was all that time, ALBERT.

So yeah not only are these two Absolute Assholes but their settings are fairly close enough in vibe that they could be part of the same world.

Tea time 🫖✨

[jensownzoo]

Woke up feeling steamrollered this morning so Seed Starting Thursday has been postponed until tomorrow. I did get a few garden tasks done though.

Two clumps of daffodils are flowering today. I've got a number of different varieties that bloom in succession so I'll probably have some kind of daffodil through May.

The harvest of salad spinach was twice the amount of last time. Some of the other varieties are starting to kick up their growth too with the warmer temps. I am going to use this harvest to make a few servings of spinach artichoke dip for a wild Friday night at home snack.

Opened up the tunnels to water and the transplanted Chinese broccoli and bok choy are loving their new digs, increasing in size by at least a third. But what is this?

Grrrr.

And then when flipping up the board to check the in-ground row of old mixed carrot seed I found this guy:

Yeah the chickens got a nice juicy treat. It was probably attracted to the moist darkness under the board, but I watched it actually munching on my carrot seed so I feel no remorse. It's an even toss-up whether the damage on the bok choy is slugs or roly-polys. On taller plants that they have to climb first you can tell by the slime trails, but here the leaf edge was touching the soil. I'll be putting a short board down as a slug trap and checking it in the morning.

A whole bunch more extra dwarf pak choi sprouted in the cold frame, so I had to put the regrowing green onions in their own small earthbox. Luckily I had one available since the cats destroyed the impatiens I was overwintering in it. They've actually almost regrown enough to harvest again, but I'll give them a few weeks to get settled in first.

And then I potted up these Black Beauty eggplants. Despite the dud cell, I still got nine plants out of this.

The Ping Tung eggplants need at least another week of growth before transplant. Conveniently, there are six pots left open in this flat and I have six seedlings. The two cells of Listada eggplant never germinated. That was my experiment with seed saving eggplants so was a bit of a bummer. May research what went wrong or I may just resolve to buy eggplant seed, it'll probably depend on need.

The native plants program at the library was a little disappointing. I was expecting an informational presentation on local natives for your garden. What it ended up being was a workshop on cold stratification using native seeds harvested the past fall by the presenter. So I came away with several varieties to put in my freezer, but no new information.

Ah well, it's fine and it was free. I'll be sowing some black-eyed Susan, prairie blazing star, purple aster, mountain mint, mist flower, foxglove beardtongue, and bee balm (a fuschia pink variety) in a few weeks once they've stratified. I already have some pale purple bee balm and I've grown black-eyed Susan, blazing star, purple aster, and a different variety of beardtongue in the past. The mountain mint and mist flower were pointed out to me as varieties that were a little more tolerant of part shade than any of the other varieties available so I'm going to try and start them in the spot where I moved two peonies from in the fall (for not being sunny enough). For all of these I'm planning on putting half the seed in trays inside and half direct sown outside. We'll see what works best.

Repostober 10 - daily drawing May 2021 (two days each)

These little square chunk cross sections of environments were going around for a little while, so I tried em out. I think the forest one is much less good but I dislike it less now than I did at the time.

I know it's kinda cliche but i really do like shadowy figures with glowing eyes.
