Busy Friday here. Trying to figure out how much time I can offer this morning at the library (helping local students make a compost pile) before I have to come back and keep working on projects here. But it's been gray and rainy for several days now and my motivation is not totally present.

Hoping to play a little TOTK this weekend myself, actually. Maybe some time around the fire pit too if the weather is nice enough

That sounds like a lovely summer veggie garden, I'm excited to see what you do with them! Small spaces can make it challenging to fit everything but they also make you use the space more creatively, and they look awesome crammed full of plants.

Very cool! Which varieties of apple did you end up selecting, and have you decided how you'd like to train or manage them?

Yay violets! The tea is nice, and you can also use the flowers in salads for a pop of color. Also, garlic mustard -> violets; pesto, change-o?

whoever planted these was really going wild

Hah that's going to be my memorial plaque at the farm when I'm gone! I'm glad that native cherry decided to leave you with some offspring that were in a better place for you to enjoy.

Even here in Maine there are some large subsidies for battery backup systems. The state is even running a program for people who have them, where they can get paid for selling their stored energy during peak usage times.

Something I do when I'm depressed is discount the value of my own accomplishments. When I'm not in those moments, I know that I should be kinder to myself by being proud of what gets accomplished in spite of the depression, but when those times come around again it's incredibly difficult to follow that advice. I'm really happy that you're making such strides on the new meds, and hope that you find the space to be happy and proud of that accomplishment. Other people's milestones don't detract from the progress you're making 💕

So green and peaceful!

That's exciting! Chilly microclimates can be kind of a bummer when other folks' plants have bloomed and you're still waiting, but there's also that benefit of generally getting growth after the freezes are over.

Thank you for commenting in these threads! I adore hearing what everyone is getting up to in their gardens every week

Ugh, physical corrections like that make me sick, I'm glad you're not going to take lessons there even though it's an awesome set of skills. Truth be told I get a little sick even when the training language used is negative, no matter what certifications the trainer has.

That said, I'm glad the rest was awesome!

Very glad you're off orders to rest, just remember to take it slow!

I've gotten permission, so I'm excited to share this news with you, my Beehaw fam, the same way I told my biological fam:

Life, uh, found a way.

LallyLuckFarm OP , to Do It Yourself in Older houses are fun to renovate
@LallyLuckFarm@beehaw.org avatar

Every project becomes 5-15 projects to do right.

Ugh, this is it entirely. And then add to the 15 that the final product is going to require imperfections to make it look like it fits the rest of the space.

And my cabinets are different internal heights for some reason?

Our ceilings are made for someone shorter than six feet tall, but our cabinets have spots that my 6'8" friend has to go on his toes to reach. Cabinet logic in old houses is bizarre.
