Go go go! My summer harvest is pretty much gone thanks to a combination of great heat and groundhogs. I'll still get some slicers and sweet 100's, but damn you are killing it. I think you've earned the right to do a little dance

Oh wow. These are gorgeous. Got any good plans for them?

I think you're on the nose, here. I laughed at the headline, but the more I read the more I see how fucked they are. Airlines. Industrial plants. Fucking governments. This one is big in a way that will likely get used as a case study.

No idea. I still wonder sometimes where the disconnect was, but I also just try to not let things like that get to me anymore. I'm having mixed success

At the time I was 22 and didn't have a firm grasp on the idea I could tell someone being rude to go fuck themselves. It was just a bunch of old folks pining for the glory days of national pride and dysentery, but like, fuck. Snuff out a curious light like that.

I went to a panel presentation on the early colonies around the Revolution once. When they took questions, I asked if there was any special logistical problems Virginia ran into after due to how large the territory was and man, they treated me like a fuckin idiot. I still think about that. It's not, like, important or anything I just don't have a therapist for this sort of shit

They're actually just human portions of a hot dog for titans. You ever see one of those mother fuckers? You don't carry a three foot hotdog as thick as your leg, you wield it.

Are you sure your friend isn't just three beavers in a long coat?

Torx should be the default over Phillips for sure. Phillips is fine for shit like access panels or screw terminals. Slotted is useless for anything but the adjustment on pots and thermostats. Robertson is just a proto-torx. Everything else either exists to make someone money or is a bolt

 

Just admiring the sprinklers in the morning light

 
 

They topped all my sunflowers, about 30 bean seedlings, mowed down one of my full-grown bush beans, and over-pruned one of my watermelon vines in a single night. I saw some spots where they nibbled at my potatoes as well. These suburban deer are a menace. With as many dogs as we have running around here, you'd think they'd stay away, but no, they don't care

I'm gonna have to build a fence next season

 

The plant is still small, but it's putting off a few here and there and man are they tasty. Looking forward to getting enough to actually do something next season

 

Trying to get in the habit of taking more pictures for work stuff. An abandoned sunflower bed that is gonna get planted with various squash. Hand weeded with a hori-hori and some shitty knee pads. I also forgot my gloves today

 

The heat is starting to climb, so the early season stuff is starting to struggle a bit. Looks like terra cotta beats plastic and big beats small. There you go, empirical evidence of a fact everyone already knew: plants prefer the expensive pots

 
 

Some kind of beautiful black widow, probably a Northern. Built her web on a bag of potting soil, so I had to scrooch her along. Absolutely gorgeous and huge! She was definitely well fed

My pak choi army has fallen. I sent them out to harden and the slugs just rolled over them in a night.

 

Spent the day pulling honeysuckle vines out of a homesteader client's back fence. I turned a perfectly good set of pruning shears into beaters pulling all that stuff out, but this guy was just extra in every way
