LallyLuckFarm,

I’m going to simultaneously agree and disagree with you on this one - they do want to destroy the ability to plan and build walkable livable cities, and to prevent their constituents from building community ties with each other. The expectation they have, imo, is that this will be used to hamstring the efforts of people looking to make Arizona livable into the future.

But they absolutely don’t expect or want this bill to weaken their own grasp on legislative power in the state. Concerted grassroots efforts to use the (admittedly hamfisted) language in this bill to weaken conservative turnout, while absolutely not something I would normally advocate, seems like a way to involve the voting bloc they intended to protect from effects in realizing how truly stupid this bill is. I could readily see voting rights groups or other progressive orgs in the state finding opportunities to provide transportation to the polls and ways to include reasons to not reward the people who voted this into effect.

LallyLuckFarm,

A. A PUBLIC ENTITY MAY NOT SPEND PUBLIC MONIES TO PROMOTE, ADVOCATE OR PLAN FOR, OR BECOME A MEMBER OF AN ASSOCIATION OR ORGANIZATION THAT PROMOTES, ADVOCATES OR PLANS FOR, ANY OF THE FOLLOWING:

  1. REDUCING OR REPLACING MOTOR VEHICLE TRAVEL WITH WALKING, BIKING, OR PUBLIC TRANSIT.

I encourage Arizonans to file suits to shut down the public transit systems in the reddest towns and cities ahead of November. They’ve given you the tools to eviscerate their hold on your state.

LallyLuckFarm,

LallyLuckFarm,

I agree with @PaddleMaster about the protective gear if you’ve got permission to do the work there. Have a change of clothes and some rags with texture, soap, and water to wipe any skin that gets the urushiol on it.

But hooray for the rest of the green you’ve got going on!

LallyLuckFarm,

I think they’re all looking good! You should be proud of them and yourself

What did you end up changing to protect the pumpkins, if anything?

LallyLuckFarm,

We hit 90F yesterday and I watered some of our starter trays like six times, I feel your pain. How are the pumpkins’ roots looking? If they’re starting to bust out at the bottoms (or sides of you have that kind) it might be time to think about giving them some more space, and the additional soil will increase the amount of water they can have available throughout the day

LallyLuckFarm,

Hmmm… Are those little cardboard / pressed cellulose cells that they’re in? Sometimes you’ve got to make the holes in those yourself. If there are holes in it I’m a little surprised that you’re not seeing roots yet. Here are some of our younger ones after a week in slightly smaller cells for comparison:

You can see some of the root hairs extending out of the cells, and these will likely be crowding themselves within the week without transplanting. It might be worth gently popping one up out of the cell for an inspection to be sure, if you haven’t done that. Push it up from the bottom rather than pulling the stem. You should be able to tell pretty quickly but if the substrate starts to come apart as it comes up, stop and assess in another couple days.

Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard! (files.catbox.moe)

I’ve mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don’t have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

LallyLuckFarm,

I was curious how you’d float or secure the plants in the nutrient water, thanks for sharing! Wishing you many happy harvests of fresh food!

LallyLuckFarm,

Is there a certain pot depth you’d recommend? I imagine part of the reason is to prevent excess water wicking into the substrate in the pot, but would be concerned somewhat about accidentally air pruning roots in a gap.

LallyLuckFarm,

Homegrown Harvest: a season-by-season guide to a sustainable kitchen garden from the American Horticultural Society is a good one to check out.

LallyLuckFarm,

My bad, I have a habit of getting them in a row

LallyLuckFarm,

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.

LallyLuckFarm,

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?

LallyLuckFarm,

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.

LallyLuckFarm,

I’m very excited to see how this works for you! Wishing you the best luck finding your peppers and remembering to take lots of pictures to share here bee laugh emoji

LallyLuckFarm,

Thank you! The secret is killing a ton of plants until you improve enough to keep them alive, and then killing more until you can keep them happy bee fingerguns emoji

Spider mites are a tricky pest when the plants prefer a dryer soil, but I’ve had some success with a layer of sand on top of the potting mix, which might be worth a try. And there are so many cool varieties of basil that I totally encourage you to try from seed! I know you’re going to have that kitchen garden rocking in no time

LallyLuckFarm,

Here’s a little PDF for you from treesaregood.org about pruning but you should totally make a thread about it ;D

LallyLuckFarm,

I hadn’t heard that, but that sounds like a huge missed opportunity. I loved the master sword trials from BOTW and would enjoy having new and more intricate shrine puzzles for the new mechanics

LallyLuckFarm,

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
