It is my hope beyond hope that you are able to have your body match who you are inside, you beautiful beautiful wonderful person, you.

I’ve heard it’s not the size of the pickle but how flavorful the brine is.

Or something, I’m not crazy about pickles or cucumbers

Tbf, drain cleaning Australia’s synth wave music is pretty rockin but yeah the rest sucks

This is an incredibly good point - blueberries often have a hard time rooting without a number of fundamental factors in place. Soil type, how a particular site drains or holds water, whether a host of other organisms are able to support the sometimes tenuous grasp they have to the space; even how acidic or basic a particular plot is will heavily influence how well they can do, let alone whether they’ll thrive there. Finding anywhere else that’s suitable is a monumental task, and daunting.

It’s my belief that everyone who can be a steward should be looking to blunt as much of the disturbance as they can for the blueberries that aren’t able to be uprooted, like a thick protective mulch to prevent the damage that can drive too deeply into the soil, while also keeping those new spaces they find in mind for the ones that can be safely relocated. Preferably in a way that inoculates the soil to provide a resurgence of them, and makes the whole area more conducive to the beauty and nourishment that they provide. It’s that mindset of interconnectedness, with blueberries, that allows for a path for understanding how best to approach the task at hand. It would be impossible to do without respecting the needs of the blueberries in question.

I was about to feel attacked but then I remembered i collected seeds from “probably asters” yesterday

Awesome shots! What an adorable subject

Thank you! And may I add

Thank you for crossposting this here! I sent the original thread to a few friends who have dabbled in hydro setups this morning. Keep up the great work!

Something I like to do is to take their call scripts and mail them as signed letters. Phone calls can be useful, sure (when they’re answered or the answering machine isn’t full or disabled), but my understanding is that written letters are taken more seriously in those offices. The order of significance, as it was explained to me, goes email -> phone call -> letter.

I’m not going to lie, I’m jealous of the home automation control and your average inside temps! I’ve got a small grow closet and have the shutoff thermostat in the lowest level of shelving, but am not allowed to have it below 68F because of the newborn and a wife who is always cold 😂

Very cool! Are you relying on your lights and ambient heat for temperature maintenance, or are you supplementing the heat?

Cool ombre, hombre!

Remember to move hornworms to your non-production/trap tomatoes to see more of them!

I believe that it’s vanishingly rare for it to be “too late” for anyone to change their behavior, on an individual level. If we can recognize the challenge, we can amend our approach and work to bring others into the fold. I’m still grieving as well, but defeatism will only strengthen their position by weakening ours.
