I'm loving the Iranian Lego videos slamming our moron-in-chief, but I think they need to come out with a line of physical Lego trump figures and military props so we can all join in with mocking this petulant child.
Anyone got a contact in the Iranian propaganda division to pass this idea to?
And nothing but delusional lies
25th amendment needed now.
Close up of my little hummer, now breathing and moments before it took off into the distance. Heading home I hope.
I saw it breathing. After lightly stroking it, it flew off!
Yea! I'm hoping it recovered completely and I added a hole to the side of the greenhouse high up where I think future trapped birds can find the outlet.
A closer look at the hummingbird, still unmoving gripping a branch tightly.
It just kept flying back and forth.
In the early morning I went to look for it and found it on a branch of a nasturtium plant, ib the semi comma as they do at night. I cut the branch off and carried it to a heating pad on the back deck. After a few minutes, it started moving slightly and

A hummingbird laying totally still next to a feeders I hoped it might feed from if it woke up.
A couple days ago and hummingbird found its way into our greenhouse but couldn't find its way out. I put a couple hummer feeders near an open window and by the large open door, but when I went back hours later at night it was still there. Couldn't figure out how to free

Corn growing in a cloth bags along with squash and bean plants. These are the "3 sisters" system used for hundreds of years. Each plant helps the others.
Cardboard boxes in which I started potatoes in 6 inches or so of dirt, waited till lush plant growth and then added 6"+ of dirt to fill the boxes and stimulate more potatoes to grow from the buried parts of the plants
Onions in large cloth bags that we planted in the early winter months getting ready to pull from the ground.
Onions in cloth bags looking good.
nearly 4 feet tall already.
This is the biggest and most varied garden I've ever grown. I'm looking forward harvesting and eating the crops over the next months.
Timers hooked up to added lighting in our greenhouse.
I've planted many marigold and nasturtium flowers around the raised beds to confuse and sacrifice themselves to bugs to hopefully save the crops I want to eat.
Wildflowers growing under grow lighting in the greenhouse.
Radishes straight from the outside garden.
I've already pulled radishes out of the ground and picked a handful of snap peas from 8 foot tall vines in our greenhouse. A dozen summer squashes are nearly big enough to eat, cucumbers are climbing the trellises I set up this year, and some of the corn stalks are
An outdoor raised beds full of tomato, cucumber,squash and beet plants.
A bamboo teepee with newly started pickling cucumbers, just started onions in foreground cloth bag.
Tomato plants mostly in this photo in the greenhouse.
Pea plants climbing a trellis in the greenhouse. I had to climb a ladder to grab a handful of snap peas to add to a pot of soup.
April showers have been racing through Northern California with a vengeance for the last week or so, watering the hundreds of plants I've been putting into our raised beds, cloth bags and cardboard boxes during the record breakingly warm spring weather this year!

I'm a major dr. Who fan! Been watching for more than 50 years and want my own tardis. Glad you found one!
Very cool! I've been working hard on my raised beds putting in tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, corn and marigolds & nasturtiums (sp?) to distract the pests as northern California has been under a heat dome for a month.
Good to grow your own food!
What are the greens? Can't tell but look fresh and healthy.
I like it. Looks like you were enjoying yourself.
Don't mind those who can't enjoy life.
what I was trying to say because of my awkward phrasing, they responded with a thumbs up and smiley emoji.
Hope it stays this way! We need less bickering over nothing.
Thank YOU for responding so fully. Your time must be more fully occupied than an old retired dude.
I was never on twitter/x, but joined Bluesky when people I follow on progressive sites started running away from x because of its growing toxicity. I've been very pleased with the overall positivity on BSky. I've only had one negative interaction and once I responded that they didn't understand
I just figured out how to see your past posts. I have to 'swipe up' on your very first line of your profile instead of the body of the description.
Persistence paid off!
No worries, love seeing your updates even if I can't go through your history.
teaching physics and other sciences in the next town over.
Thanks for the web site info. Looks like your work is well appreciated by those around you.
Just keep growing!
Cool. Now it is making more sense.
I'm in my 70s but drawing so much enjoyment from growing plants this year and learning more about perennials (started some good king henry and tamarillo trees) that I sometimes wish I could have been a gardener/farmer.
I lived on a dairy farm for years while
Are you supplying plants to farmers or stores or just really like tomato juice? You're on an industrial scale.
Something I'd like to see, our president in prison clothing
Trump as exactly this, a big spoiled baby
My favorite sign at te event: every sitting republican is complicit in the destruction of America.
The king has no clothes indeed
No Kings in America please
Seemed like more younger folks were present this time.
Well said!
Great t-shirt!
The No Kings rally was well attended in Chico, CA today. Some images follow.
I wanted to go back an see your first few posts of the greenhouse but can't seem to get down to them.
If intentional that's ok, but seems like a bug or something.
I'm also naive enough on social media that it may just be something I'm doing wrong but maybe view your profile on someone else's BSky
I'd like to share a little feedback about you bluesky home/profile page. I'm not sure if is the double spaced sentences in your self description or something else, but I'm unable to 'swipe my finger up' to go down and see your most recent posts. I can't get past the opening screen.
Started after a local class in seed starting and suddenly had tons of new plants and had to find friends to take away the excess 75-100 tomato, cucumber, marigold and other plants.
Starting so early, many are only now showing flowers, and just shared our first radish with my wife an hour ago.
You're growing on a different scale than I am, but this year I started my seeds using seedsnails (I won't mansplain it to you in case you're aware of it, but it's all over youtube if interested) and was amazed at the high fraction of germination and ease of transplanting to new containers.
Trying 3 sisters (corn, beans, squash) planting this year with corn as tall as a few feet already
Mostly tomatoes in my much smaller greenhouse.
Trying to grow cucumbers on lattice as well.
I live in Oroville where we have the great big dam and lots of flowing water almost always, but yea, most of the state is close to desert conditions.
Politics here are deep red; that is hard to deal with, but I'm surrounded with forebays and ag channels even on the 110 degree days. Lots of orchards
I've already planted over 100 plants in raised beds way too early in northern California but I feel like a slacker when I see your amazing greenhouses.
Great work! Can't wait to see further progress.
It's far more radical to have a 34x felon as president who has a history of sexual abuse.
