These pictures don't do justice to how tall these sunflowers are.

Close to 5 m in height, maybe I'll measure them when I cut them down at the end of the season.

Most of my other sunflowers have bloomed already, but the ones in this little patch just keep growing taller.

literally where was all this talk about community and community activism you expect everyone to already be involved in before last night lmaoooo

#i have hand me downs from my neighbors extended family lmao dont lecture me on community #but like. yeah ive volunteered at foodbanks and community gardens and college encampments because my parents raised me to do so.#however my parents have been more vocal about it than ive seen from this entire site in the past few years #of course community is the new tumblr buzzword and half the posts are so vague they say nothing #maybe if you want people to be community volunteering rn you shouldve. vocally pushed for this before last night

Late night wishful thinking but like

I think planting funky things around retention ponds should be more normalized!!

Like okay I get it retention ponds are meant to hold the runoff water from parking lots and drive throughs and the like so they aren’t exactly the cleanest water around. But like!!! Maybe this is different in other areas, but the only plants I ever see grow around retention ponds are cattails!! Which, like, are fine and great and dandy lets go cattails, but like

Where’s the whimsy?? Where are the flowers?? If I’ve got to see retention ponds whenever I go to a store or drive down the highway or pick up food for my mom, at least bring in some flowers!!

And it’ll benefit so much! A wider variety of plants can make it a more welcoming home to wildlife! Maybe the plants will filter some of the runoff stuff and the water can then be nicer for even more wildlife! Maybe the flowers can be a nice food source for butterflies and bees on their journeys and day trips!! And humans like seeing things be pretty!

Maybe its easier said than done! Maybe most places already do this and its just my city or state that doesn’t really I’d be willing to believe that! But lets get some color in these goddamn retention ponds!!

Swamp milkweed! Aquatic milkweed! Pickerelweed! Water lilies! Irises! Cardinalflower! Fuck it, put some goddamn duckweed in there!! Get some color in those things or so help me!!

#out of queue #ani rambles #solarpunk #gardening #pond gardening #‘ani why not just guerrilla garden in the retention ponds’ im not THAT good at starting plants #and ive yet to have success guerrilla gardening as is!!!#i think there should be like a volunteer group that just rocks up like ‘hey we’ll make your retention pond bomb as fuck and still functional #FOR FREE. and we can start next saturday!!!#also SOMEONE MANAGE THE INVASIVE PLANTS AROUND RETENTION PONDS!!!!#i saw a pond that I was 60% positive was surrounded by callery pear trees #i couldnt be 100% sure because I was actively driving but yknow!!!#‘oh all the water drains to here lets put a pond there to hold the draining water’ THATS HABITAT NOW #CARE FOR THE HABITAT YOUVE CREATED #YES I KNOW THIS IS A POND IN A WALMART PARKING LOT I DONT CARE. WHATS GOING ON IN THERE. BEAUTIFY IT #‘ani why dont you start the group’ idk much about growing aquatic/wetland plants #maybe ill bring it up if i ever go to a florida native plant society meeting who knows #its 1:30 am gnight

Logging out for a while, love you miss you <3

#idk when I'll be back on #I think maybe end of the month to test the waters but we'll see #someone was having a bad day and decided to take it out in my inbox last night #and then when I logged off they got mad I didn't answer and sent a few more 🤪#usually I'm pretty good at rationalizing these things. gen z feels like the only place they have power is on the internet so of course when #they're angry and scared they're going to come after the people that they can actually reach #(and that includes me; proud owner of an anime thirst blog with 6 followers <3)#what they need is a hug and a copy of the anarchist protest guide and maybe a community garden; not someone responding to them with more #anger #but as I stated. I'm exhausted.#anyway. this is all to say #if you're feeling so much kinetic energy from rage that you feel the best way to get rid of it is to yell at some rando on the internet #use that energy to do something productive #sign up for a protest; volunteer at your local soup kitchen; teach crafts at the library.#a lot of people need a lot of help right now; why waste time shouting into the void when you could be doing something with genuine impact #the world needs helpers more than ever #if you made it this far thank u I love you; and stay safe out there cowboys 💞

Watermelon growing in a ditch outside my apartment building.

I walk by everyday on my way to work, but today was the first time I noticed it.

#in my defence we have a lot of shrubs and plants and greenery around #watermelon #volunteer plants #gardeners on tumblr #gardencore #gardenblr #gardenblog

I don’t actually have a modern au but I’ve been having so many thoughts about modern d’alia lately lmao

#d’alia studies applied geometry and environmental science with plans for grad school too #(she’s torn between cartography and field environmental engineering as a career)#also tutors on the side and volunteers with the city’s gardens and fisheries #always has a busy schedule but makes time for her friends whether a post-breakup brunch or helping them move across town #or dropping off baked goods on their doorstep out of the blue #lives with her bf koana who was an exchange student she met in one of her engineering-esque classes #they’re usually pretty private but they throw a banger halloween party each year #koana has a fancy espresso machine and got d’alia into coffee with cinnamon #d’alia also has a vintage typewriter where she writes cute lil love notes #regularly ‘borrows’ koana’s leather jacket too #and obsessively crossbreeds flowers in animal crossing as the one video game she plays #oh and rides a motorcycle.#dani.txt #alia/koana

October 2024: It's That Time Of Year

We got our Harris Walz sign over the weekend:

Then October the First happened:

Our volunteer pumpkins. They turned out to be mini-pumpkins & the one on the right should have been picked sooner (It is a bit mushy) but still cool:

The fungal infection that damaged our front lawn created this happy accident. For the first time ever, this skeleton has a hairy chest, happy trail & lush pubes:
