Our peas and beans are really starting to stretch and climb after some recent rains and warm days, which is always very exciting. However, our purple flowering raspberries have started showing off and they took my breath away....
Thornless was also a 'selling point'. Mine were a gift from another gardener. And being raspberries they try to spread beyond their allotted space. So I dig them and put them up on freecycle. It's super popular, and they can spread their DNA in someone else's garden. :-D
The latest insight comes from a study on butterflies in the Midwest, published on Thursday in the journal PLOS ONE. Its results don’t discount the serious effects of climate change and habitat loss on butterflies and other insects, but they indicate that agricultural insecticides exerted the biggest impact on the size and...
I lost four spokes on my morning commute when the chain decided to jump off the big cog. Of course I don't have a spoke protector. (Who needs a dork disc? Bad things won't happen if you keep your bike maintained. /s) I was lucky to skid to a stop rather than crash when the rear wheel locked up....
Actually we DID. Tho' only for a little while. And the results were enormous. The B/Yamgata Influenza lineage appears to have gone extinct. The cool part is we weren't even trying to do anything with those specific efforts to affect influenza. All of which should encourage us to cooperate more.
As a child, once I learned to read, I started to really learn. And naturally shared all the fun facts with most anyone who would listen. I thought I would write a book of fun facts, but then someone invented the Intarwebs. I even thought I would narrow things down and just write 'Bandana, 1001 Uses' , but there was no point.

I've seen similar saddles advertised. This one seems to have a better design. I'd be curious to try it. And I'm a daily cyclist who doesn't have much if any trouble with saddles. Tho' I do prefer the more modern 'crotchless' designs, as it's just more comfortable to have room for one's 'bits'.

Panniers, a frame bag, and a back pack work for most things. And a trailer for when I need a bit more carrying capacity. That's been my approach for over a decade.
I'm working on repairing a truck-trike, that was gifted to me when a friend was clearing out "junk". In it's original form it's designed to carry up to 500 pounds. We'll see how that all works out this Summer. ;-)
I would like to eventually begin growing my own food and herbs. Do any of you have good book recommendations for growing food, herbs, or possibly herbal medicine?...
John Jeavons book, How to Grow More Vegetables (than you ever thought possible on less land with less water than you can imagine) is a wonderful reference on the biointensive method (https://johnjeavons.org/books-and-videos/). And it's now in it's 9th edition.
It looks suspiciously as though Roberts doesn't want to be remembered as the chief justice who obliterated all respect for the Supreme Court
