It's missing JD as "waste"

Hate that for you, man! We got lucky I guess and missed that run.

The "history" we are taught is so full of propaganda, that it's no wonder they don't get it. ICE is something that on the very surface might sound like a good thing, but in practice it hasn't been and won't be until much larger reforms take place, and EVEN THEN, still will be corrupted by fascism.

We went with a versa earthquake tiller too. It went together just fine for us (minor snafu when we were putting the tines together, user error for sure). The only issue I've had is that it has lost some bolts on the pulley cover and the handlebars. (Handlebars were also user error)

This @nberlat.bsky.social piece is a good reminder of why we have to keep fighting Trump’s supersized lying — it’s a key strategy for fleecing us by cutting essential social programs like Social Security and Medicare while siphoning more money to billionaires. www.publicnotice.co/p/trump-budg...
MAGA's Big Lie budget
Trump’s economic agenda is about fooling the American people.

I've never tried it, and it's not something I'm particularly worried about. Plants want to grow, as long as the soil, air, water, and sun conditions fit with that, they'll grow.

I'm in 7b in the midsouth and I feel like I'm so far behind! Glad I'm not the only one who's just starting to get into the soil.

Start smaller than you think you can handle. You can get your soil tested, but I didn't and it's been fine so far. Last year was our first real garden, we did tomatoes, a few kinds of peppers, basil, and a few things that didn't work out super well. I'm adding to it this year. Buy starts this year.
