  • You're not wrong. But this is Beehaw, where we yeet them with prejudice

  • First and foremost, thank you all for being a part of this wonderful place. You're all part of my extended chosen family - family that doesn't always see eye to eye on everything but knows that we'll have each other's backs instead of putting them to the wall.

    Secondly, step away from the chats and the doom to do something positive for yourself in your space, or do something to re-orient yourself. Despair and gloom blunt your efficacy communicating and organizing, and mutual care and aid like we have here on Beehaw are going to be more important than ever.

  • He was very "ehh, I guess you can hold me" until he saw himself, and then he got really into it.

  • Very nice! A previous owner of our home left us peonies and I love them. Get that garlic in!

  • Now is a great time to plant garlic, provided you're in the northern hemisphere. Here in New England, around Halloween is prime planting time

  • We have lemon thyme as well as your standard garden variety (hah!) thyme. They split readily to make new clonal cuttings, and I've rarely had one fail regardless of the timing of the division. We dry it for use in teas or for cooking, and it makes a good ground cover partner for plants like strawberries. The small flowers help to support solitary bees as well as parasitoid wasps, which help to regulate the insect pressure on the thyme's plant neighbors.

    Here's some data on the benefits of thymol from the NIH

  • Great stuff! That's how we do it too

  • I'm a

    Jump
  • Only the puns

  • Interesting.

    The times I've sheet mulched with materials that required removal, said material was only removed for replanting

  • These are great! I <3 mushies

  • Awesome photos, thank you for sharing! You've made me envious, I'll have to grow some of these next year

  • Planting Justice is a permaculture nursery in Oakland, CA,. Here is a video from Andrew Millison's channel highlighting the work they do. Besides being jealous of all those heat-loving plants I can't grow, their efforts towards reparative justice and providing inspiring work and living wages, especially to former inmates, is truly inspiring.

  • This variety is called 'Red Fuseau'

  • The seeds should germinate just fine under your cardboard, unless you've got a ton of the species that need light to germinate (most don't, in my experience). That's awesome though, I can't tell you how excited I am for your project!

  • Adding context to context, there was a movement to change the constitution to allow him to run for president around then too

  • Wowza! All our mantids this year were way smaller than that

  • just some Heather

    Heathers play a huge role in providing forage to a number of butterflies, moths, and bees, so great job!
