“Up to the Twentieth Century, reality was everything humans could touch, smell, see, and hear. Since the initial publication of the chart of the electromagnetic spectrum, humans have learned that what they can touch, smell, see, and hear is less than one-millionth of reality.” -Bucky Fuller
Will watch later, but can you briefly summarize so wife and I aren’t freaking out until then? :(
Sweet or unsweet? Lemon or no? Choose wisely, traveler.
I plant garlic during the fall for this reason! Fresh garlic chives on my ramen with an egg, yes yes :D
Alt text: an image of various peppers (and one tomato) on a small wooden plate. There are small green peppers, small red peppers, a large curved cayenne, a small bell pepper, and two medium sized green peppers, either anaheim or poblano I don’t know I’d have to check. The red peppers are starting to dry.
I done grew me a garden on my balcony ma! This isn’t all I’ve harvested this season either, wife has turned my cayennes into a hot sauce already, and the red peppers you see here were turned into a hot-paste-base… thing! And my tomato plant keeps giving me fat and juicy bois every week or so. Nothing crazy, just a big red one on my balcony for wife to cut up and enjoy. I personally hate them, but c’est la vest and an alligator chest, as they say.
There’s catnip and pumpkins and sunflowers I’ve grown from seed, and mint and basil and, man, I love having this little garden out there so much :)
Faaaantastic! This actually could be pretty dope.
Aw man, it’s so pathetically adorable! I love these little goobers.
Thank you! Haha no, but it may be now! It’s an Avatar: the Last Airbender reference :)
I’m very happy to hear that :)
Hello bees! :D Still going on the cover of TMZ, mwahaha!
BRB, loading my shotgun with birdshot.
Hm I need a shotgun.
Sweet baby <3 he munch, he crunch, he noms a bunch.
You’re very welcome, I’m glad you liked it! I’m kind of obsessed with this guy and his band, lol. Here’s another good one.
If you only worked a little harder
Ha-ha
Thanks for the detailed explanation! That helps me understand it better myself. So basically, anything we put in orbit ourselves is always going to degrade, which requires routine positioning (i.e., expend some energy to keep the balloon in the air)?
From my understanding, it was in orbit for three years before reentering our the atmosphere in an uncontrolled descent, then it fell through dude’s roof.
Brian Jacques, of Redwall fame. I feel so lucky to have grown up on such a lovely collection of adventure stories. I have such fond memories of my mom surprising me with a new book. I picked one up the other day and read a snippet, and it was just as lovely as it ever was.
In the 1980s, Jacques worked as a milkman, on a round which included the Royal Wavertree School for the Blind.[1] He got to know the children there, and volunteered to read to them. However, he became dissatisfied with the state of children’s literature, with too much adolescent angst, and began to write stories for them. So that the visually impaired children would be able to picture the scenes he was writing for them, he developed a highly descriptive style, emphasizing sound, smell, taste, gravity, balance, temperature, touch, and kinesthetics.[6] From these short stories and reading sessions emerged Redwall, an 800-page handwritten manuscript.[7] -wikipedia
Guy was a saint, simple as.
Congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you and Echo :)
And yet the oil execs leaking oil into our water systems get off scot-free.
Southern balcony gardener reporting in with mostly-positive results! Some of the plants I grew from seed are doing well, including my kale, micogreens, sunflowers, catnip, and even a few pumpkins! The kale and microgreens are looking great, though I need to harvest more to prevent crowding (right?), so I’ve actually started to add the microgreens into my lunches! I think I’ll make a baby kale salad today as well.
Unfortunately, I’ve lost most of the pumpkin sprouts due to this heat and my own inexperience, but(!) I never had high hopes for container pumpkins on a balcony in the South. It’s just a fun thing to try, and maybe the few I have will flower again and let me help pollinate.
That brings me to my real passion, peppers! My cayennes have been doing swimmingly, and I’ve been able to harvest enough for wife to make our own brand of hot sauce. It’s pretty cool seeing a finished product this early in the summer! I’m excited for more to come in, especially my jalapenos and ghost peppers so we can make it kick a little harder. I actually found a hot dragon roll pepper that had ripened way sooner than expected, and Bees, I am happy to report that a glass of milk was almost necessary to help with the heat!
That’s it for now :) here’s a picture of a sunflower that I grew.
Much love to y’all <3
My wife and ai keep talking about this. We plan to flee our deep south red state, but it fills us with survivor’s guilt knowing we have the means to do so, and so so many just do not.
