I’m David. I live in Tacoma, Washington. I do square foot gardening, home automation with Home Assistant, and have too many cats.

Extremely cool. Would you please share the kit?! I love the cork look.


I’ve unfortunately been busy this year and haven’t been as productive as I wish I had.
That being said, I have a decent sized patch of various lettuces, and the artichoke I planted last year is producing!

I just got a bunch of other things in the ground like beans and pepper starts, we’ll see how they do!


Asking your local library to acquire a copy might sting a little less, even if they do purchase it through Amazon.


Ya know, I have three Linux machines that play games and a steam deck. I have not seen a survey in a very long time. I wonder why?


AND THAT’S NUMBERWANG! Time to spin the tapestry!


It’s an older meme classification, sir, but it checks out


I’ve only grown grain for my cats…rye is an excellent catgrass.
I’ve got our lettuces, onions, and various cole crops started and planted!
I need to get started on the rest of what I’ll be growing this year…I haven’t gotten any garlic or potatoes started, ehh…


Perhaps the ICP should appeal more to the everyday layperson…a gender neutral term coined in 1972, just seventeen years before the unrelated 1989 release of Belgian techno anthem, Pump Up the Jam.


I feel somewhat fascinated by this article, mostly due to the pictures.
Look at this:

I find it fascinating how it’s clearly a man and a woman, despite it being an ancient carving.
Or this one:
.
How many centuries old is it? Describe it as a hippopotamus goddess, and most modern humans will be like ‘yeah, that tracks.’


You have an obligation to protect the Earth! I suspect many of us will make popular and correct but extremely cool and illegal choices in the near future.


Re-reading the article, I understand the poor soul probably ate carrion that was shot with lead. I think my comment still stands.


It’s a bit more than a Sigh. Some fucker shot that bird. Perhaps they would like to feel the effects of lead in their gut?


It’s mild and wet in the Pacific Northwest. It’s been in the 40s, mostly. I was hoping it’d be closer to the 50s but NOPE! I started a bunch of plants in February - lettuce, kale, several hundred onions, spinach, carrots, you name it. I transplanted them a week ago during a spat of more normal 50s weather.
I have a good cold frame cover over my raised bed plot, and thank goodness…everything appears to have survived, despite local 30-43F degree weather here. That includes one dip to 31F! I’m super happy! Spring 2025 friends:


Alligators steal hats all the time?


Holy shit guys, it’s not the wild and out of control global consumption that’s the problem, it’s those mean ole conservationists forcing production to poorer nations. Limitless growth at all costs, right? Certainly can’t discuss producing less so we can protect more biodiversity worldwide - even in less wealthy places.


Howdy! It’s ~40s and wet here in the PNW (with the threat of snow!). There are leeks, chard, and herbs happily chugging along outside.
But the real fun is inside! Earlier this year I built a fun little grow cabinet for a jalepeno, some citrus, and lemongrass. I promptly spent several weeks fighting an aphid infestation.

So now, I have happy little jalapenos growing, as well as some wee little satsumas.
And of course, several hundred LITTLE BABY PLANTS!

I’m getting all the early spring plants going that transplant well - lettuce, kale, arugula, you name it. I’m going to try and grow some carrots inside, we’ll see. Slugs destroyed all mine last year. Also, like 120 onions of different varieties. Geez!
