I swear when I was a kid we would regularly get a foot of snow on the ground. I don't think since 2010 we've regularly had enough snow to build a snowman.

With the way winters been lately, I'd say they're having relationship issues.

Somewhere between Spiderman and Arkham Asylum style games would really work really well.

The setting of the first book was very cloak and dagger with lots of similarly and overly powered opponents.

Book 2 and 3 got turned on thier head and you'd probably want to slowly adapt towards Prototype or inFamous as the setting loses its cloak and dagger story elements.

The rich get richer and the rest starve.

I've never had an issue with the meat, I will admit on weekends the produce is pretty picked over if you show up right after a rush on the weekend.

But as Joni Mitchell once sang "I don't care about spots on my apples, leave me the birds and the bees"

Seems like he could potentially be reached. Trump isn't who Fox News said he was and neither are we.

This has helped me learn nearly every physical skill I know.

I was browsing the local thrift store for 70s-90s cookbooks and in several of them there were fruit soups which were just blended fruit cocktail recipes. I'll post a picture after work. My favorite was cantaloupe soup.

I hope the next time he thinks twice about getting in the ring and fades into obscurity instead. He deserves worse than he got.

Yeah, its very frustrating, I used to be able to look at the month long forcast and be pretty confident they atleast would be generally correct about the highs and lows. Now the 7 day forcast experiences 10+ degree shifts.

And forget about precipitation, that changes wildly and barely solidifies by 3 days away.

That's something different, chestnut blight attacks the inner bark layer on the trunk and girdles the tree, killing everything above that point on the trunk.

 

We made 11 jars of pickled green tomatoes and 21 jars of salsa. Jars are Pint sized (≈.5 L). Unpictured is the 4 gallons (≈16L) of blanched and frozen red tomatoes that we'll eventually turn into sauce.

This took a while. Every window in the house was fogged.

 

We found a recipe for pickled green tomatoes we're trying out. Let you know how it goes.

 

Got nearly 20 ounces, 566 grams for the more civilized.

Also some volunteer Jack-o-lantern pumpkins, I've had to pick them earlier than I wanted because a ground hog has devoured 6-7 pumpkins already.

 

I was given a bine (yes, that's not a typo) by my father in law.

Unsure of the variety, and unsure of what I want to do with them, brewing my own beer is a lot of work and cleaning I dont have time for.

May see if a local brewery wants them.

I tried planting edible landscaping this year, but it's been working pretty poorly. I think I need figure out a better way to communicate the expectations with pedestrians.

So far 2 Cantaloupes have been taken well before ripening, an unripe green pumpkin was taken, an unripe bell pepper was taken, and they aren't touching the ripe tomatos or strawberries. So I'm very confused.

Maybe I'm expecting them to have too high of a base knowledge of garden plants? I may just move the garden inside the fence and build a small pantry instead.

 

For the 250th anniversery of America (honestly, vomit) the Ohio Department of Natural Resources Division of Natural Areas and Preserves is reconstructing the maps and transcribing surveyor notes from the 1800s to create an interactive map of Ohio's presettlememt habitats.

I'll be sure to post an update once the map is out.

 

My pawpaws saplings I planted last fall are still alive!

They have started budding leaves. I know I'm a few years away from fruit production but I am curious if anyone has found good ways to attract pollinators outside of rotting meat. Not sure the city would be very excited about that prospect.

I am considering making a native carion flower plant garden near the trees to make area more attractive to pollinators prior to the pawpaws flowering. Was wondering it anyone else had tried that idea. I've found 3 somewhat promising options in my area of Ohio.

These seem to be an especially symbiotic options https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_sessile https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trillium_erectum

And this could be grown if you have a bog garden https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symplocarpus_foetidus

 

Should I be concerned that Duo is coming for me?

 

I'm currently hunting down pawpaw trees, Blueberry bushes, black raspberry, and other native fruits for my garden.

Looking for suggestions.

I looked into black cherries, but they get too large and too easily wind damaged for the proximity I'd have to plant them to my house.

 

I've made it my mission to get banned from NextDoor while trolling the MagaHats. They won't stop sending me notifications. I've been stealing memes from the https://lemmy.world/c/shermanposting group.

So far I'm more or less been allowed to run rampant, so here are some of the hits.

 

The average brain weighs 1300-1400 grams. If 0.5% of that is plastic by weight, your brain contains 6.5 - 7 grams of plastic. The average plastic credit card weighs 5 grams.
