June 2023: Harvests & A Forester

Monday’s backyard garden harvest. That is the first cucumber from our volunteer plant. I suspect it is a Marketmore: 

I wasn’t completely happy with any of these photos but I was glad to capture these images of this Eight-spotted moth: 

Grapevines are a host plant for their larvae so I expect caterpillars in our future: 

Tuesday’s backyard garden harvest: 

Tuesday’s Plot 420 harvest: 

Wednesday’s backyard garden harvest:  

I think this volunteer tomato is a Juliet crossed with something else. Juliet fruits are oval so something else figured in to give this fruit its heart shape. If it tastes good, we’ll definitely save seeds:

Just a few of the comments from YouTube that amused me.

DPxDC prompt: Danny Phantom is an extremely high-level threat due to his capabilities and experience battling against his ghostly enemies. Batman is creating a contingency plan for him and Constantine's advice, as the one who dances the tango with the Infinite Realms? A bone-weary sigh of "plop him down a telly and put on a NASA documentary or something. It's like you haven't been dealing with teen kids for decades now fer fuck's sake."

Gregory asks Michael an important FNAF lore question..

I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"

Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.

............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.

June 2023: Harvests & Other Garden Things

Wednesday’s backyard garden harvest including slug bit & squirrel gnawed strawberries: 

Thursday’s backyard garden harvest: 

Friday’s backyard garden harvest. You can’t see it but this tomato has a little blossom end rot: 

Peek-a-bee: 

I haven’t seen garden balsam like this in ages. They must have been in a flower mix that we put out although I don’t remember it being listed on the seed packet: 

They’re even forming those seed pods that, when fully developed, will explode when touched & shoot seeds everywhere: 

We finally have a cucumber forming: 

The guardian of the corn leaf:

Listen. Maybe it’s just me and maybe it’s because my bar for men irl is really low and maybe no one else felt it but when Poseidon said “But you have no one to say it to and maybe that’s the most unfair part of it. You say it, and I will listen.” While knowing EXACTLY what she thinks and what she’s about to say and that it’ll hurt him to hear it and yet… He does it for her. He does so much for her.

I love being fully unaware of YouTuber drama and which channels are "popular." My first reaction at the start of that section was "who the hell is James Somerton"
