Your fault if you stare at the billboards while walking to work mate.

I mean hunters use them and blast them.

Not every mating call has to be for them, silly birds.

The patio will be raised quite a bit off the ground on the side they would going, so it’ll be a solid concrete wall it’ll have to grow through before that’s an issue.

It’s all been figured out to be able to use for trees if not other shade plants. Most issues come from too thin slabs, I can’t do that or it’ll be destroyed by the first winter anyways ;)

I love the fog even though it can be creepy. There’s some mornings I can’t see the valley to the east, but to the west is clear. Or I get out of the valley to drop the kids off and it’s clear. Which leaves a stunning view of the valley filled with obscuring fog.

Micro climates are fun!

But I quickly looked those up, that’s crazy, took the second event for them to figure out the first. On a semi similar vein, building and fire codes are written in blood, there’s a reason why underground parkades all forbid propane powered vehicles.

Looks like it got up to 89rh last night and is still up there.

No, pretty sure it’s fog, it was 31c and humid yesterday, there’s condensation on EVERYTHING this morning and it was 10c, and this is down in a valley.

There’s a Beaver nest (home? Dam? Lodge?) around somewhere, probably just having their break.

That’s good to hear, it’s funny I’ve got some plants that I left for dead (hostas) and they came back this year after tidying up the mulch last year. They weren’t shaded though, so I believe they got cooked.

It’s sprouted, you can see it on the back lattice, probably just buried it deeper, but who knows. I doubt these will be tall enough, next year I can build something more permanent, mainly throwing stuff at the soil and seeing what works and I can handle haha.

That’s good to know, these may move in a few years and/or be split to make more as well. More of an experiment, I’ll get some other variety’s next year as well.

I want to get a concrete patio and pergola built that they can climb, but health issues and other more important stuff keep cropping up.

 
 

4 out of the 5 bines are taking off, ones lagging a little behind the others. Planted 5 cascade hops rhyzomes around the middle of May.

Everyone goes pee, but if you’re doing it 100 times a day, probably time to see a doctor.

This attitude doesn’t help people be able to express their issues.

A grinder can easily remove that.

I never “knew” for sure until I found out you could see voting history a couple weeks ago, now it’s kinda moot. If it continues, yeah I’ll definitely pass it along, as well as the old account.

 
 
 
 

Nothing too special, just some misting nozzles and some pvc.

The beds are 4x12’ with the heads spaced every 1’ starting and ending 2’ from the end.

She was mostly deaf and blind her last few years, but she managed perfectly fine on her own unless we moved stuff around. She could still see shapes, and when I turned to look at her she would still wag her tail, so not fully blind.

 

Planted about 4 years ago, and gets dead headed every year. It started out as a multi coloured plant, down to just the one colour now.
