i liked that they took an old brownfield, cleaned it up, and planted corn in it but also because of the ties to the local native tribe that used to be in that area. i've not had enough time though to go through all their projects or continued efforts or ... just caught my interest for a while...

a old friend of mine (many years ago now) put some in green jello (the great midwestern jello salad binder for almost anything) and said it was ok. he was in a very poor time of his life and that was what he had on hand.

Cardinal started chirping this morning. Sunny and warmer will get them going.

first of all get your light consistent and then check white balance and see how that looks and then go from there. however, i have a hard time getting what i consider decent bean pictures. i had a friend with a very good camera set up take some of my beans to get pictures with and he decided...

i don't worry about it too much here. i don't really consider Purple Dove to have the sprawl habit as it doesn't get beyond a few feet tall and most of the pods are not hitting the dirt. i also have pretty tough conditions and a lot of Japanese Beetle feasting going on and so far PD keep...

while wondering the internet and curious about the recent (and on-going rains) were showing up in the LA River (aka checking out webcams) i came across Bending the River and then Not a Cornfield and other interesting projects and ideas all related to: https://www.metabolicstudio.org/about

a six foot tall chunk of fencing is my preference because then i can see how high they'll get. i often just find out when i plant them as bush beans and then have some sprawl all over the neighbors, which isn't the best approach but it happens. the extra fun happens when i get a pole outcross...

when you grow up without parents or with parents without healthy boundaries it can be a challenge to figure it out later.

you seemed to have done well there for yourself. consider it accomplished and give yourself some pats on the back. :)

things getting interesting "Out There[tm]!" on slashdot "An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"

so far i can only come up with recommendations on what not to plant (no blueberries or other berry plants). i was thinking thyme or rosemary, but those are more arid loving plants and may not do well where you are located. hmm... i've not had to think much about plants of this type in a long...

i went back to sleep after breakfast and then pretended to sleep for a while longer because i didn't want to get up and clean. then i decided that was silly and i was going to do something else today, which i've accomplished, so that helps. :) no coffee required.

does she obey "sit" and "stay" ?
