Funguary Day 15: Black Velvet Bolete

Working from my deck today.

Promote green spaces. Promote urban gardens. Promote suburban farming.

Riotous Seedbombing!

i was about to joke about how my political stance is “end lawnmower culture” but then it occurred to me that i actually Am against lawns as suburban status symbols and wastes of land that Could be used to sustain native flora & fauna and grow food for people, but no, instead they are these huge useless swaths of land that need Constant maintenance, the process of which is not only destructive, but Incredibly Loud

So much nicer than anything my greenhouse could be.

But I think we all need spaces like this.

Okay, but can we talk about how amazingly good the Muppet costumes were in that movie? (I mean ... its a 1/3 scale so costumes get much cheaper to make will all those details.) Or the fact that approximately 80+% of the dialog was book accurate?

So far I'm still coming out on top. I can do this.

I love how positive the images are.

Alternatives to baker creek are available. You can buy from better people.

I grow our own vegetables. Many hybrid and heirloom varieties are bred for flavor rather than for commercial appeal and travel. There are entire species on the allotment that you can’t easily buy in stores because of this - like salsify, a root vegetable that tastes of fish and shellfish. Our neighbours happily take it to make vegan latkes of alarming similarity to fishcakes. You cannot sell it in stores because - despite looking like a white parsnip - it turns brown when you pick it if you scrape/bruise/cut the white root in any way, or damage the delicate little hairs, for some reason, it BLEEDS RED and is very upsetting to look at.

There are whole classes of foods like this. Foods that just don’t ship well or look good on supermarket shelves. Forbidden fruits. Vegetables that bleed and taste like meat. Sorry about this

I reread all these books when I hit 30. I think that I should re-read them again now that I'm in my 40s. I Gove them to every little girl I know.

“Kazul’s not my dragon.“ Cimorene said sharply. “I’m her princess. You’ll never have any luck dealing with dragons if you don’t get these things straight.”
