This is Maeko, our old gray lady in the house. She's fifteen this year, which I know is a huge accomplishment. She's a little curmudgeon who's never liked anyone but my wife and I, and we joked that she would be around as long as Palpatine (the hate keeps her strong). But she's really starting to show some of those signs, and someone keeps cutting onions around here.

She probably wouldn't like any of you, but send some scritches her way if you would.

This is an incredibly good point - blueberries often have a hard time rooting without a number of fundamental factors in place. Soil type, how a particular site drains or holds water, whether a host of other organisms are able to support the sometimes tenuous grasp they have to the space; even how acidic or basic a particular plot is will heavily influence how well they can do, let alone whether they'll thrive there. Finding anywhere else that's suitable is a monumental task, and daunting.

It's my belief that everyone who can be a steward should be looking to blunt as much of the disturbance as they can for the blueberries that aren't able to be uprooted, like a thick protective mulch to prevent the damage that can drive too deeply into the soil, while also keeping those new spaces they find in mind for the ones that can be safely relocated. Preferably in a way that inoculates the soil to provide a resurgence of them, and makes the whole area more conducive to the beauty and nourishment that they provide. It's that mindset of interconnectedness, with blueberries, that allows for a path for understanding how best to approach the task at hand. It would be impossible to do without respecting the needs of the blueberries in question.

Hey folks, just sharing a video I made (<4 minutes long) during my time transplanting blueberries yesterday. If you decide to watch, thanks!

Thank you for crossposting this here! I sent the original thread to a few friends who have dabbled in hydro setups this morning. Keep up the great work!

'5 Calls' is one way for U.S. citizens to make a political impact and 'make your voice heard' in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

Something I like to do is to take their call scripts and mail them as signed letters. Phone calls can be useful, sure (when they're answered or the answering machine isn't full or disabled), but my understanding is that written letters are taken more seriously in those offices. The order of significance, as it was explained to me, goes email -> phone call -> letter.

Jones said he would move to a new studio, websites and social media accounts that were already set up.

Lawyers for the plaintiffs were too busy high-fiving over another set of seizable assets to respond prior to publication

Things have been a little tough for Sudo since Juniper arrived, since he's used to taking up all of my attention. Playtimes are now in between her naps, and her janky motions have kinda freaked him out over the past few days. We still have cuddle time after she goes to bed for the night, and I managed to snap this shot of the two of us this evening.

What's growing on, Beehaw? (beehaw.org)
 

We're having some trees removed soon (they're dying and leaning towards our house) so today I spent some time carefully relocating some volunteer lowbush blueberry plants from where the heavy machinery will be working.

What's growing on with you all?

Great observation, Shawn (beehaw.org)
 

[Image description: image of text which reads "I like when men explain basic things to me because in my mind it's not mansplaining, it's more like when a toddler is really excited to tell you about dinosaurs and you're like that's right cutie! You're so smart!! Only one of us is being condescending and it's me", to which Shawn replies "if you have to announce when you're condescending, you're doing it wrong."

OP replies "that's a great observation, Shawn! Great job!" with a heart emoji]

Obligatory pedantry:

We would also accept "soil", since we're talking about the life in the mineral earth

Today, our gardens were my biggest source of solace and hope, and I hope that yours are comfort for you all as well. I went hard planting more fruit bushes and will be hitting up our town's seed library tomorrow to hedge some bets for next spring.

One of the plant families I went big on this past year is Pycnanthemum - mountain mints. Not only are they a good source of nutrition for pollinators, they have the added benefit of being an abortifacient you can grow on the DL. There are a number of species, not just P. virginianum, so check to see what's endemic to your region and have a patch growing for your local support network <3

What's growing on with you all?
