2.5 years clean of paying for flower

god bless milled flower at like tree fiddy a gram.

Straight facts.

I am 1000% less of a mess when in the garden

We bought them. They were not cheap. We priced out materials for making beds out of wood and it ended up being more, so we went in this direction. That was in 2021 I think? Maybe lumber is cheaper now.

I think we’ve had this discussion before about currants vs gooseberry and how currants were banned in the US (no longer federally but still by states)!

The berries in this photoset are Ribes uva-crispa, and are a member of the currant family, but I know them as gooseberry. I am also growing Ribes rubrum (red currant) and white currants which are actually a cultivar of Ribes rubrum . I posted a photo of the white currants in the VHC discord last night. Not brave enough to post it here as I expect all sorts of vulgar comments lol.

I have another currant plant, Ribes alpinum, which is not grown for its fruit and is more ornamental.

I hope I’m not coming off as rigid about naming! I think plant classification an naming (both common names and Latin names/taxonomy) is so fascinating. It’s all arbitrary and made up 😂

Oh no! I’ve got a really small one at my desk that sits under shitty office lights and gets watered once a year or so and it’s still chugging? The ones at home do much better. They get watered every month or so and get plant lights.

It’s been so long since I’ve done it, I just picked a leaf off the main branch. I realize now that this is where I fucked up.

My seedlings aren’t quite big enough to have branched. Once they branch, I’ll take my cutting. I planted 4 plants outdoors. One is tiny and not really growing, two are looking wilted (I suspect the soil is too wet we’ve had a lot of rain) and one looks healthy. If I can at least get one or two clones off the healthy plant I will be happy.

If I can’t get at least 2 plants to a healthy state where I know they will give me a harvest, well… I guess it’s time for me to learn how to indoor grow! Like hell I’m going back to paying for weed 💸

She didn’t make it 😢

Excited screeching

I love this so much, thank you for sharing.

However, TopSoil is based on the principle that gardening is a radical act. It’s an ongoing joke that none of us really know what we’re doing, but we give it a go anyway. We operate on the basis of sharing both our skills and our knowledge, learning from each other, and taking care of each other.

By learning about nature through the lens of community knowledge and queer ecology helps us better understand our place within it. Like humans, the natural world does not fit into neat binaries or social norms. Queerness is part of the natural world.

and my axe

er…you can count on me!

RIP to a real one

Celery is underused as a main ingredient, love to see it.

(Let’s bring back celery vases )

Oh hell yeah burgers

Um, you obviously don’t know anything about gardening. Those are eggplants, but you planted them upside down 🍆

Sometimes I smoke a joint too much at once and it hurts

A stoner gardener walks into a salad bar: “oh I’m so sorry little buddies, I didn’t see you there.”

Wow! I’ve never seen that before. It looks promising!

Excellent advancement in the field of corn based taco pies
