AAAAAAA my school club that i've been working on since last year is finally happening i'm so excited!! :))
i love this.
Loving someone to the point of idiocy, where all rational thought goes out the window when you see them. Because you know that even if you know nothing except that you love them, that's enough.
Something I will never get tired of in games like Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword is the animation of Link unsheathing his weapon when the boss looms over him and roars in the intros to the boss battles.
So if March was the time to talk about starting seeds, April is the time to talk about buying transplants (reverse as needed for southern hemisphere obviously but y’all aren’t planting for spring now anyhow). I’ll make a few notes and then open it to others to add.
1. You don’t want blooms on your vegetable starts. If it’s blooming now, it’s reached the limits of its growth in its current pot and decided that this is as good as it gets and started to put its energy into reproducing. If there are blooms, you should pinch them off, but the plant is likely to have limited growth even so. The same kinda applies to flowers but I do recognize the difficulty of knowing what you’re buying without blooms, and also, a lot of modern flowers are bred for long flowering periods.
2. Short and stocky is better than tall. Tall means the plants have been crowded. Spindly means the plant will be less sturdy. The ideal tomato seedling, for example, is relatively short, with a thick stem.
3. Some things are not worth buying starts of. Sellers realize that a lot of people feel more comfortable with transplants–you don’t have to have faith in the magic of the seed that way. But it’s ridiculous to buy cucumber and squash seedlings, for example. Those are plants that can’t be put out until after danger of last frost anyway, which time hasn’t even come where I am, and their roots don’t really like to be disturbed. Tomatoes actually thrive on being replanted, so they make great transplants. Cucumbers not so much. Big seeds like peas, cucumbers, squash, etc. come up fast and will establish roots better in situ. Have faith in the seed.
4. Prefer small local places and actual nurseries to big box stores. The big box store offers varieties based on what will sell, as decided on the national level. They buy the seedlings en masse and take minimal care of them with the expectation of high losses. The little local place is in it because they love plants, and probably knows what varieties are actually good locally.
@ahedderick , @turtlesandfrogs , @not-quite-wild , @kawuli , anyone else wanna add?
The more I get involved with local stuff, the more I find that all the good local stuff that creates community and continuity and value is run by old people. Yes, your much reviled boomers. They run the arts council and the craft guild and the other craft guild and the food pantry and the church free pancake dinners. They run the little art gallery downtown and the Master Gardeners and quite a lot of the farms. And there are few to no younger people coming up behind them to pass the torch to. The old people don’t know how to bridge the generation gap into the internet age, and the young people have unwittingly given up all the tremendous value of community for mobility, and/or have no free time in which to contribute to such things anyway because of the ever-growing struggle just to have enough.
Actually I think it’s something people should be very very worried about, but I suspect the whole picture is largely not visible to the people on either end.
I got a new job!! Most of it is in a lab (which is the end goal after college) but some of it is in this beautiful greenhouse.
Now that college students no longer have access to their libraries in the same way we used to and have to do most of our learning at home it would be just terrible if we all knew about https://1lib.eu/ a website which has books on basically every topic ever available for free including college textbooks. Imagine if people were researching their thesis without paying for it.
DO NOT USE THIS SITE AND DEFINITELY DO NOT NOT TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE, THEY MIGHT START DOING THESIS RESEARCH FOR FREE OR JUST START READING BOOKS THEY FOUND ON THERE FOR FUN BECAUSE THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE INTERESTING. This would be terrible :( :(
Reblog to spread the word so that everyone knows to avoid this site!
honestly i like this it seems pretty cool man
HELLO MY LOVELIES WELCOME TO MY ACCOUNT <3
So here is the story behind ghostcore
I could never fit into an aesthetic. I wanted to be Goblincore, and fairy grunge, and dark académia, and SO MANY OTHER THINGS ALL AT ONCE
And I thought maybe other people were having the same problem
So I made an aesthetic for those people
Personally, today I’m feeling very Goblincore, but that will be different tomorrow
