Broke out the grass sickle today for a big clump of grass and quickly learned to cut up some roots as well with minimal damage to the soil. Seemed quicker than the scissors. ✂️ I pulled on the grass or their creeping stems and hacked at the tiny roots.
Leaving Virginia Creepers because they are native. Their berries feed many other animals but poison us, and their flowers provide nectar. They have a perennial twig that stays in the ground and green parts that grow back by the middle of spring.
I was only able to sow my nitrogen-fixing food crops before a thunderstorm told me to get the f indoors: bush Lima beans, snap bush beans, and snap pole beans. I made sure the beans were spread out. I still have cowpeas and all the rest of my crops.
Virginia Creeper is also highly flammable, so it's not a great idea to leave it near a home. I bet dry leaves are highly flammable, too, so WATCH OUT!
@atomicpoet Anyone who knows refried beans usually aren't vegan, would think they weren't, as the package says "REFRIED".
Also, many packaged beans are NOT vegan either, as there are other agents added that are not vegan. So for it to say Beans are Vegan is an important distinction.
Dinner today had 3 different legumes in entirely different forms. Vigna radiata noodles, Glycine max sauce and curd, and roasted and chopped Arachis hypogaea. #beans
Jesus Christ. I thought this was a joke. I can't comprehend how insane you have to be to actually back an ideology as destructive and senseless as unfettered, #beans
Recipes are great, but I wish there were more info like this online about the general pattern of how to make types of meals. I find it far more useful in the long run
people be like "wages haven't kept up with the cost of living" but my brother in christ equipping the appliances we take for granted in a house in the 60s (fridge, stove, dishwasher, washer, dryer, vacuum, etc.) would set you back ~50k in 2024 dollars compared to 5-10K today
