Well here’s another for you then! They got eepy

This immediately comes to mind

What a gorgeous picture! I adore asparagus in the fern stage

Thanks! Another great thing about them is that they are a great forage plant for native bees during the late summer into autumn.

Great job you two!

Wood gasifiers seem like such a neat project, but much of ours comes from heating our home in the winter

Lmao I’m glad you updated, but I did listen to Stop talking About Comic Books and it was great

Edit: I was thinking of this

I’m glad that gotcha, I considered it a well documented state of catter

I’ll see myself out…

We lost a few winter squash in this recent heat wave in the northeast, I sympathize and echo your hope for some fresh growth!

And as someone with a rocky history of growing peppers and who has a spouse that can’t handle spice much at all, I’m super glad you’re having a great time of it and will be enjoying peppers vicariously through you <3

Lots of water breaks (not cold, but below ambient temps), cold compresses, sheltering under trees, cool showers, avoiding physical contact from the dog and cat

I think that’s a really incredible gesture on your part <3

And I’m glad you’ll still be able to bring that much with you even after being so thoughtful and generous

That’s awesome! Our squashes are getting bigger but no flowers yet. Hope you’re staying cool and hydrated today, friend

Hey, congratulations! And some condolences for the plants you’ll have to leave mid season, that’s a tough row to hoe. Are there plants you could reasonably take cuttings from to get a leg up at the new place and keep some of your favorites?

specific parts of a plant and classification of parts

Definitely check out Plant Systematics for really in depth discussion of this. Additionally, someone sent me a copy of Systematics, Evolution, and Biogeography of Compositae which I’m happy to share. These are both dense, though, just to warn you.

I don’t have much of anything on my shelves regarding grafting, but would recommend Dirr’s Reference Manual of Woody Plant Propagation, the American Horticultural Society’s Plant Propagation, and USDA’s The Woody Plant Seed Manual for some good cultivation / propagation information

I really enjoyed the style of the Link’s Awakening remake and I’m glad to see it return! And yeah, lots of variability and replay value with those mechanics I think

I was recently given a copy of The Complete Book of Gardening 3rd edition (ed. Michael Wright) and it’s been fun leafing through a forty year old gardening book - I’ve even found newspaper clippings of relevant gardening articles tucked away in some of the pages.

I also like to check myself whenever I get a little too “yeah I know about plants” by working my way through the 5th edition of Plant Systematics

Is there a particular aspect you’re really into right now? I may have some other suggestions

The Search for More Money

I’ve been referring to the lot of us as “Beeple”, personally. I can’t claim credit, it was how they pinged us on discord for one of the community polls and I just really enjoyed it.

To my knowledge, agricultural plastic water totes (275gal or so) are uv treated and so degrade less quickly, but there are also cisterns and containers made from metal or cement that you could look into.

Asphalt shingles will release visible solids with rain events and can leach some of the compounds they were made from. Here is a link with some information you may find useful. It’s tough to give a yes or no answer without knowing more specifics about your roof, but knowing the materials and age can help you figure out what your options are.
