My squash seedlings were wilting in the unseasonable heat, so I fed them some of the compost tea @emsenn@myasstodon.xyz told me how to make, and I have never seen anything like the recovery. Wow! Happy plants :)
That stuff looks and smells despicable but it just goes to show that you really can't judge by appearances ;)
Did you know, that Microcosm has called for submissions of historical romance with nonbinary characters.
If that's your cup of fiction, perhaps toss them a short story?

I had to tear out by hand a pyrocantha bush which was also growing on top of the weed suppressant membrane. Now I need to go back and clear a space where I can replant it in actual soil.
On the positive side, my apricot tree is blooming! #gardening, #florespondence
OMG my back! So, I am now pulling ivy out of the ground down the side passage, because there's a lot of good planting space down there, and it turns out that the 50cm deep tangled mass of ivy roots covering the ground is growing ON TOP OF (and through) a layer of weed suppressant membrane.
I only went out to plant a hazelnut tree and now my spine aches. Who needs pilates or weightlifting? When this passage is fully plantable again, my core strength is going to be off the charts. #gardening, #florespondence
Officially the beginning of growing season for me...
1. Malabar spinach seedlings from seed i ... 'borrowed' from a botanical garden
2. Tomato seedlings (4 different lines) for grafting onto potato rootstock (trying to make a pomato)
3. Klip dagga mutant that has leaves in triples, not pairs (forgot how the mutation is called), i will be trying to preserve the genetics
Cauliflower is next...

Asexual, agender... kind of grey-romantic. They/them please.
I'm an indie author of gay romance, cozy mystery and SF/F. Also a morris dancer, penny whistle player, Anglo-Saxon re-enactor and new knitter.
Proud owner and caretaker of 2 acres of ancient woodland in Cambridgeshire UK. I'm looking for hope and a way to leave a better world to my children. I'm interested in permaculturing my garden, and solarpunking the rest of my life (and my writing.)
