Oh geesh. I can’t imagine planting kudzu on purpose lmao. Gotta love people who plant shit without knowing anything about it

Good luck with the seeds! Had to look that one up

I’m feeling really defeated. Few years ago ground elder was introduced to our yard from an adjacent lot. I didn’t keep up with it one year and the next year it ran rampant and invaded our favorite garden bed. I spent so much time trying to eradicate it last year, only to find that the MIL weeded it at some point and threw it in the opposite corner. Also she transplanted a plant from an infected bed to a different bed. We now have ground elder every where. This has been a multi year war. Can’t use black plastic because I’m scared of harming tree roots but nothing else has worked. If i try to save existing plants when putting down cardboard or mulch then the ground elder comes through there. I’m thinking I’m going to need to cardboard and mulch our entire garden beds and kill even the existing plants just so there’s no chance it regrows

If anyone likes eating it, lmk. You can come have a multi-month buffet and would be doing me a favor.

As far as wins, just been fairly productive past few days trying to get stuff off the to do list

Glad you’re back!

Ive just been gardening. Didn’t seed start a many as id like this year but at least we got some

I don’t know what’s more sad:

• the few linked resources i checked didn’t list any sources for their claims or data
• that even if they did, people probably wouldn’t care for it.

It’s a nice list of resources i guess for new vegans who don’t know how to respond to some of the things people ask or claim

My guess would be referring to vegans that dont treat it as a diet. Veganism is a way of life aimed at eliminating animal cruelty and exploitation as a result of your actions and consumption as much as realistically possible. It extends beyond what you eat to also what you buy and how you live your day to day life

Better leftovers than waste. And looks yummy!

Love it! Yeah i think it’s amazing what people can do with blender but i just didn’t have the patience for it and I’m not the most artistic to begin with lol.

Black plastic cooking utensils have been in the news lately. We went ahead and replaced all ours

Food looks delicious though!!

Nice! I tried doing this a year or two ago but didn’t get as far before i decided i wanted to do something else instead 😅

The rainbarrels and drip irrigation sound great. We meant to do something similar like that a few years back but it fell off our radar

1. last recipe we tried was a ‘marry me tofu’ and it went pretty well! This was the second time we had it and it was really delicious. We toned down the red pepper flakes for my wife and i personally didn’t care for the sundried tomatoes, but we liked it overall and will be making it again. My only ‘complaint’ about the recipe is they wait until the very end to tell you to serve it with something so that was a surprise and i was scrambling to heat up some stir fried veggies Lol.

2. Latest hobby is rowing so i can get in shape

Appreciate everything you’ve done for the server hamid and will be sad to see your involvement wind down but understandable. Hope you take care

That does look/ sound like a fun project. I haven’t had a chance to try a split ergonomic keyboard but I’ve heard good things. Hope it goes well!

Edit: Also have you looked at vertical mouse? That has helped my wrist strain quite a lot

1. What is a new meal/ recipe you tried recently and how’d it go?
2. Honestly just working. I have a backlog of projects im needing to do like replace a broken lazy Susan cabinet which i have the parts but not the time. Oh, but you said fun…uh, wife and i have been doing some puzzles while listening to audio books. Going through the murder bot books atm and just finished a succulent puzzle. That’s been pretty fun and relaxing

I listen to pretty much anything except country and pop. Favorite is alternative/hardcore. Don’t listen to much these days though and when i do i find myself turning to my collection instead of anything new.

Can’t tell you the last concert since it’s been so long. I’m pretty noise sensitive and prefer listening to stuff when/where i have control of the volume 🤣

Appreciate it!

The package is advertised as 100% plant based which is not vegan, so i don’t think they are saying that wildflower honey is harvested without intermediaries.

Good example of why plantbased as a term is literally worthless though

👀 where did your kale go?

Looks yummy!

Id stay with you too… just saying 😅 looks delicious!
