Oh, so you're in a real live desert. That'd be way too much work. I bet you have some beautiful natives growing out there. Sucks about the grasses, tho. I have enough trouble with bermuda grass, I can only imagine the problems from something that could be invasive in a desert

Daikon radishes. They grow in about anything and are especially good at clay busting. Grow a bunch then let them die back. Till them in and repeat until you get enough environment for the worms to take over the tilling. You can keep piling on radishes with something like clover and peas to add some nitrogen fixers. This is more a pasture revitalization technique, but if you don't mind being the weird radish guy for two or three years (depending on local conditions), you could do it on a smaller scale for a lawn
Anytime I think of John Romero, I think of Daikatana and their ad campaign
Well, I might have spoken too soon. I neen on vacation this week and just saw the second most haggard groundhog I've ever seen strolling through my beds without a care in the world. I bet you anything that's my critter
Hell yeah! That's been a long time coming. I bet it's gonna feel fuckin fantastic, but also don't think you gotta rush yourself. That'll get your hurt going for sure
The sunflowers are the top right. Top left was one half of my black beans. Some kind of pole bean that was given to me
I usually do stuff like marigolds and coneflower among stuff to keep them out, but I got lazy this year and they've been pretty merciful until the night before last
I had a cousin get thrashed by a buck in rut once. They have all the necessary bits to really do some damage
Since we're in a science-themed shitpost area, I'd just like to take this moment to be both pedantic and gross in reminding folks that llamas and alpacas don't just spit, they vomit into their mouths before givin' it that hawk tuah
I love citronella when it blooms. I should put more of that out in my yard
I'll cop to context being important. He was an incredibly progressive guy and most of his more extreme views were more jingo than racial hierarchy
If I had a kid that asked for Newports, I'd just give em to them. Kinda curious to see where that goes

First starts are peekin' out. Get the streamers and hold your breath as we go under!
Some years ago, I was learning brussels sprouts and had a few extra starts. I gave most away, but one I planted in a pot for goofs. It stuck around for a few seasons, even surviving a bolt. So, it became Brusselfriend. Three years later it finally bolted and killed itself. A few of the seeds grew into new sprouts and this one survived the whole season. So, PoB is now headed into their second season. If it bolts this year, hopefully I can keep the line going
It's more likely than you think
Jesus Fucking Christ! Someone do something about that toddler!
