It's in water, but it's still gardening! One of my hardy lilies has put up a gorgeous flower. I love seeing it open in the morning and close at night.

 

Happy Friday!

I hope so as well! Good luck on the tomatoes and also the other stuff!

Aw, that sucks. Last year a big rain caused this in a third of my roma tomatoes, I was so sad.
I'm now the proud owner and user of a calcium spray to try and prevent this.

My garden is doing well! I expanded the actual growing space this year at the cost of not growing as much as last summer. I'll start reaping the benefits in the fall though! I've got some green tomatoes growing, a new round of lettuces, and I've been harvesting some short day onions that have started flopping over. My cabbage heads are forming nicely, and I seem to have the aphids under control. It seems like the entire Pacific Northwest is suffering an aphid epidemic this year, UGH.

Do you think this could be Sapote?

That's a great lifespan! I fondly remember the hand me down tent I used as a kid....it was REI from the 70s I think, the old school fiberglass pole kind, splinters and all....

Gets off the I-5 and puts down his avocado toast. I have no regrets.

Thanks, I love the compass SOOO MUCH. My favorite part of any vessel is a BIG FREAKING COMPASS. It just screams 'Adventure!'. Cool watch. I also carry a regular set of orienteering stuff with a basic compass in my essentials, and my fancy schmancy Garmin watch has a digital one too.

 

This past weekend I was able to get out on the water and overnight at a marine state park!
Did I forget to take pictures at the campsite? YES! Regardless, y'all get a trip report!
We launched from Boston Harbor in Olympia, WA and paddled to Hope Island State Park.
The sun was shining, the weather was great, and we had our choice of campsites. We did arrive at low tide, which made hauling kayaks up the beach a bit of an effort.

I tested a new stove which worked well, and used my 15 year old REI Chrysalis solo tent for the first time in a while. It continues to hold up!

We launched the next day a bit after high tide, paddled around the Sound a bit, then headed back to our launch point. We did have to fight the current a bit, but the mountain was out, we were visited by seals, and a good time was had by all.

The sky above the port was the color of microplastics, bleached by age.

What kind of algorithms are those trains running?!

Make sure you check out the simulator webpage for some sweet old school design and a lot of neat pictures! I love a good simulation.

I'll give it a shot. I'm running a Lemmy instance and (new!) a Piefed instance, I'll try it with both!
