The new bed has been planted! Here's a picture from a couple days ago.

Most everything seems to be settling in well, the only things I haven't seen sprout yet are the coneflower and the ginger. Other than that, I've got some native flowering plants like phlox, golden ragwort, lavender, goldenrod, and aster. There's about 70 red onion sets, six different chili peppers, a couple new artichokes, some rosemary and thai basil, and a whole lot of other flowers (marigold, amaranth, dahlia, and salvia, just to name a few). Got a few tomatoes into the old bed, as well.

Behind the far fence, you can see some pots that I just put some seed potatoes in, and I'm also planning to pot up some sweet potatoes in the next day or so.

All in all, it's looking pretty good! Can't wait to see how pretty it will be this summer and fall.

Garden update time!

The new bed has been constructed. This picture is from about a week ago. I spent the last couple days filling the bed with about three tons of wet topsoil. Feel like a beast. I'll send another picture sometime next week once I get most of it planted up.

The strawberry patch is going absolutely insane! Despite the distinct lack of pollinators, it seems that the berries have set quite well. I WANT THEM NOW.

When I took the fence down around the garden to move in the new bed, the neighborhood squirrels got in and wreaked havoc. Tons of digging, and lot of the seedlings got ruined. But here are some of the carrots that survived the onslaught, as well as a coriander that my neighbor donated.

Here's one of the potted artichokes! It's looking really, really happy right now. Surely, I'll get some good flowers from it this season. Can't wait.

All of the comfrey seeds that I planted have sprouted! Will need to thin them out to only one or two seedlings per spot soonish.

And here's a bonus video. Had a ton of yard waste to deal with, but it was too bulky and hard to throw directly into my compost heap. So I had a fire last night. Not the best way to dispose of the stuff, but it certainly is my favorite. And I'll get to throw the ashes into the compost for extra potassium.

Gotcha. I suppose that I can wait, then.

Thanks!

Gah! Chapters 70-114 are missing on MangaDex.

I just picked this up, too. About 25 chapters in, and I absolutely love it.

My favorite sequences are the panels where characters are reminiscing and showing their reactions to their own memories. Very cool.

Bojji is awesome.

Three and a half miles today in about 32 minutes. And the comfrey that I sowed around the mailbox is sprouting. It's a good day!

Beautiful weather yesterday, got some nice photos.

Tons of strawberry flowers! Must be doing something right this season. They've been difficult for me in the past, but maybe I've finally figured them out.

Garlic's getting quite tall. I wonder how the bulbs are developing. In this photo, the farthest row is a hardneck variety, and I suspect that I'll be getting scapes from them soon.

And here's one of the potted artichokes. Seems to really be loving life at the moment.

The dividing line is and has always been between those who think that the game is zero-sum and those who think that it is nonzero-sum.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't think there's anything evil in recognizing that the world is one enormous game. It's in the interpretation of the rules and the playstyle where evil emerges.
