ANYWAY, my wife found a very nice patio furniture set used for $100. My (good) neighbor is already offering to bring wine, and our seedlings are coming up!
Several trays of seedling under grow lights.

The planters are set. I shoveled this entire pile of gravel into the bottom of them yesterday, so they are not moving.

We are probably in over out heads with this

This spring's garden project: convert this egregiously unnecessary expanse of pavement into something resembling a garden.
A picture of the front of a suburban townhome where the builders decided to pave 8 parking spots instead of a garden or a lawn. A car and a truck are parked at the end of the lot, and there is an expanse of asphalt large enough to park another 2 cars behind them.

Today, thanks to the King Comservation District native bareroot plant sale, I am ripping out some very boring (and toxic to pets) boxwood shrubs and replacing them with some kf my native faves: Salal, Huckleberry and ferns

Very cool! That looks like a cousin to these Philips Logic Analyzers I picked up awhile back!

Ryan said they're the same picture
Screenshot of a Nextdoor post. Ryan Fren is complaining about "sign pollution" and has posted a zoomed in photograph of a street lined with traffic calming barriers and "street closed" signs Infamous photo of Breezewood, PA highway covered in advertising signage

From this morning. A visceral example for anyone complaining about these barriers: This is right off the entrance to the trail, in the middle of a park. It could have been a child that was hit.
A black SUV with a smashed front end parked on the side of the road. On the road is a white paint circle where a large concrete barrier once stood. Two circular concrete barriers on a neighborhood street, both have some damage and have been pushed 10+ feet from there original locations.
