I feel you, I'm a knitter as well and the amount of people who have suggested I start selling...they don't understand the real value of hand-made items because they've been used to buying mass-produced crap from the other side of the world.
I hear you about the squash...they're very prolific!
My sunflowers are also taking their sweet time for some reason, even though all my neighbours' are already flowering, as well as the ones in the fields nearby. But I have hope!
It’s based on a gansey that our dad had commissioned; my brother wanted one too so I copied what I saw, modding for his size. I’ve learnt a lot from it, mainly that I never want to knit such a tight knit ever again. I’m so incredibly proud of it though, it just shows what perseverance can do
What kills me is that those are red states, which means some of those pro-choice voters are okay voting for pro-birthers come election time and then go all pikachu face when their rights are taken from them.
It’s frustrating how defensive people in Zurich are of their heavily subsidised parking spaces, when the car ownership rate is relatively low (since the public transport is so good), and driving in the city is already such a terrible experience....
I get your frustration. I live in Geneva and people here also seem to be addicted to their cars and precious parking spaces even though it's just not sustainable for the density of the city.
Planning on giving away most of this. For our family of three we grew way too much. Turning some of this into Salsas and a special Pico de Gallo Salsa that’s made from lemon cucumber, tomato, corn, peanut, red onions, cilantro, jalapeños, lime juice, and salt.
Thanks, although I can't take too much credit for the heatwave and sunny climate we've had since May 😅 I'm looking forward to tasting them, they look very promising and that small plant is producing a ton!
I usually do red peppers, it's my first time trying green ones and I'm a bit hesitant about when the best time to pick them is. They grow so slowly, it's hard to tell whether they've reached their full size yet.

I'm a flexitarian myself and I wish more people would just do that, just realise that they're eating too much meat for their health anyway and cut it down to 2 or 3 times a week.
Even if you think what you would say is obvious, please add. This is genuinely something I think makes sense regarding local bus routes given the longevity of light rail and how infrequently routes change, but I also suffer from confirmation bias, so I’m hoping for reasons this would be a terrible idea but obviously would...
One problem with grassy lines is that when you need to temporarily use replacement buses (like in cases of issues with the electricity or maintenance, etc.) they can't drive on the lines and have to take the regular roads with the cars.
At the moment one tram line in my city has been interrupted for a few weeks and that's how I noticed that the grassy line was making things more complicated for the buses that are used instead.
I think that's one reason why most cities only put a few sections with grass.
These types of fridges are fairly common in the US, and usually the freezer is on the left. Some models also have ice dispensers. If you have the space for it and a large family, it's very practical.
A proponent of uncooked herbivorous fare, the Kasan native claimed she ate a “completely raw vegan diet” for the last four years, consuming just “fruits, sunflower seed sprouts, fruit smoothies, and juices.”

How do you know when to pick green peppers? Whenever you want? At a certain size? These are jalapeños.
