People who think we were grandly designed by some Devine power, and not just randomly evolved in bits and pieces in complete chaos, explain to me why you know how good this would feel.
I don't do "smash burgers" #WhatsForDinner
Even for master gardeners, 99% of it is putting seeds in the soil with intention & having patience It's a hobby that looks very complicated, but at the root of it is incredibly simple, so the opposite of marine biology With both, the important thing is that you try & accept & learn from mistakes
Hostas are so incredibly hardy, this was divided and moved 2 days ago and other than it being a little on the thin side could you even tell if you didn't know? #GardenSky 🌿
I really enjoyed this doc youtu.be/r6gURCbyVq8?...

Cat sitting for a neighbour, isn't she a cutie!? 🥰
One thing I worry about, and I appreciate this is not common knowledge, is that under Ontario courts, child support ends at 18 UNLESS that child goes onto post secondary with support being payable to the child for 4 years (So take a gap year & you're screwed, it's a dumb system)
🤣 It was more the pork ribs she was after Don't feel too bad because she will definitely find a way to get onto the counter and fish the remnants out of the compost bin 🙄
They were fine. Recommend making them properly, but this did work in a pinch!
My most misbehaved feral little critter still knows better than putting a toenail over the threshold while I'm cooking
🤢 No! This is, on the label, mostly the ingredients I'd be putting on anyway!
What about audio books? Would she listen to sci-fi/fantasy? You can rent a lot of them free with a library card
Apparently, we're out of mayonnaise, so this is either going to be incredible or an abomination 🤷♀️
Oh, I understood that. Did he fail you in a class or something? The Jays absolutely shat the bed! Ownership never invests in the bullpen, this isn't a new phenomenon Fans should get mad, because ownership between the Jays & Leafs see Toronto as a guaranteed market, so they don't buy in
I was joking. Toronto fans are very intelligent and wise to the game. We have a very rich history of Jr & Sr sports league in the city Criticizing a pro team for under-preforming comes from a place of deep understanding of the game I'm just glad T.O. doesn't have a pro cricket team 🫣

When he got home from work I asked if he'd picked up the tiny shirts 🤣 He rolled his eyes so hard I'm surprised they're still in his head Gently annoying teenagers is an incredibly hobby, I highly recommend
Something about Toronto Teams... they never want to pay for goaltenders or pitchers It's never changed
You must be a new fan 🤣 😓
There are 2 v old apple trees, & pear trees, on the neighbours property surrounding me that were part of the original farm (where I live) Of course the one near me that's short has terrible apples that are always worm eaten, & the beautiful one with great apples is 100' tall, so I can't get whips
😄 No, I haven't, but for that sort of question, I would try contacting Luke from MIGardener migardener.com He may not know, but likely will know who to ask Or The curators here: gardensottawa.ca/gardens/heir... Which I've shamefully driven past but not poped in, I should change that
Is there something specifically that interests her? CBC has some really incredible podcasts and I wonder if that might help
Just based on stem thickness, it may be a McIntosh, definitely saving for later :) Thanks again! Long story short, I traded someone who was looking for it, a Lobo at check-out, I'll be happy with any of the options, but of course, I would like to know so I can diversify in future years
Thank you!! 😊
I'm no distraction from the all-you-can-eat buffet That little stretch 🥰 (Sorry about the shake, it's breezy) #NativePolinators #GardenSky 🌻🐝🐝
I would never ask anyone do to something as awful as descendent into that hell hole for me, but here's the apple 😅 It's definitely one of those 3
If it happens, BlueSky will be down from server overload
I threw some seeds, for next year, in with my fall bulb order, so it course they mailed them early & separately 🤦♀️ Interestingly, the Veseys State Fair Zinnia is a beautiful single Zinnia with muted colours, while McKenzie has a State Fair Zinnia, which is a double & bold colours #GardenSky 🌸
There are so many other interesting varieties of the species, I was a bit bummed out they went with the most commonly known one
My child is so over my bullshit 😸
The mystery apple is either a Cortland, Spartan, or Macintosh Anyone have an educated guess? #MysteryApple #GardenSky
We're very lucky to have an amazing local native plant tree nursery in town, & they're having their end of season sale today Making myself feel better about my UPS box not being delivered The apples were b2g1, so... I've got 2 Liberty & 1 mystery that lost it's tag #NativeTrees #GardenSky 🌲🌳🍎
It was a good piece on The House today I haven't decided how I feel about the idea floating around of 2 years service for young people
New stove was delayed, thankfully everything isn't quite ready yet because I'm going to be very busy shortly #HomePreserves #GardenSky 🍅🌶
That lumpy part is its face!! They're SOOOOOO weird!!!

WHY HAS BIZZARE BEASTS NOT YET COVERED THE COMMON MOLE RAT!? THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!! THIS THING IS RIDICULOUS!
I will never have live plants shipped by UPS again. Out of 2 deliveries, they've both gotten "lost" The 8 native trees that were supposed to arrive today, are now coming on TUESDAY. (With understanding it's a long weekend) Completely unacceptable, they were "on the truck at 7 am". Fucking pissed.
Canadian corn mazes... (We have a few people who make incredible art with their corn mazes, this made me laugh)
I recognize my privilege to get to live in a quiet place so many years, and live a life where I've gotten to interact with the land & the weather every day But it's such a special thing, that I wish everyone could experience Clouds are rolling slowly the wrong way, always an indicator of a storm
Herbs are going strong, plus a few of their buddies out of the reach of That dog. If anyone has tips on growing Tarragon from seed, I'd love to hear them! It may have been that I had a bad package, but I've tried 3 times with different methods and nothing 🫤 #GardenSky 🌿
That makes sense, a bit like washing raw onions Now I'm going to need to experiment 😄
As a general rule, Yes 🤭 That's so annoying! I'd typoed then fixed it and I guess the link didn't update 👎 Thanks!
I'll give you the 3rd for superstition 😄 But you've piqued my curiosity I've just never had herbs I've found overly dirty, or even dirty at all, & usually eat them straight off the plant without washing Even commercial bought herbs 🤔 You must be in an area where farmers overhead irrigate?
* As I got older, I looked back and see there was clearly some trauma disclosure going on, but I was far too young then to understand Plus, the female gym teacher who was definitely a predator... World class private school 😐 Go Ask Alice (I know complicated authorship) still a great book
When I was as young as grade 4, I was exposed to MUCH more sexually explicit stories from my peers than were in any book in my school library even into highschool*. And I went to an all girls school. All reading the handmaid's tale did was teach me about patriarchy, that's why it's being banned.
🤢
Why? (I grow most of my own herbs)
What the funk am I watching?? 🤣🤣🤣 (It's on YouTube, I had to go look)
Butter tarts are uniquely Canadian, but I would suspect there is a descendent link there They are VERY sweet, but when made properly not cloyingly so I don't have much of a sweet tooth, but I love a butter tart The corner store here used to make fantastic ones before ownership changed 👎
Likely 😄 I'm assuming an obscure British-ism?
Well done!
I saw their van in town today and am now realizing I should have followed my first instinct and stalked the driver to wherever they were going 😮💨 (If you're not Canadian, buttertarts are a delicious pastry, the ones with walnuts are the best.)
*duh* of course! 🤦♀️ The "plant hardiness zone by municipality" is more helpful than the map, & there is an exp. of the hardiness index on the formula page Which makes much more sense, e.g. I'm listed at a 57, bc we're closer to 6a than 5a It's so cool how NRC is so much more indepth than USDA
That's what I'm wondering too, it looks like the updated map on the global article
Yeah, sorry I realized that after sharing That is the newest one that's been posted, so I'm still confused too There should be a way to access it
You're not, the website is a mess like most of the GC pages it's unreasonably hard to find what you're looking for planthardiness.gc.ca?lang=en&m=24...
I heard about it on CBC about a month ago, glad to see it's FINALLY updated on planthardiness.gc.ca because it hasn't been 😊
Found the cutest Heather at my locally owned grocery store! (Which also always has amazing flowers)! #BloomScrolling #GardenSky 🌱
I don't understand why everyone is always hating on Poplars, I love mine 🤷♀️ #NativeTrees #GardenSky 🌳

When I make something like that, I would chop it by hand, or because I can so much I have a tool that cubes veggies for me Yes, remove any seeds Hope that helps! I don't like cucumber relish, but I quite like zucchini relish 😋
He also, without me asking, got me the ones with adjustable velcro 🥰 Because of my accident, my right foot it much thicker than typical Especially on days like today when it's swollen, so I can't wear any other style ... I definitely did something right with that kid.
My eldest went shopping today at the outlet mall with his GF & her friends, So I asked him stop by UA & grab me some new house slippers Told him I didn't care what colour On arriving home he told me "The options were black or white, but I figured you'd get the white dirty" 🤣 The kid knows me...
Could I help with the relish recipe? Cancer can absolutely get fucked.
Good Job Jay! (Seriously, congrats!)
The most relatable thing Hank has ever put out. Although I do watch sports. youtube.com/shorts/Vkhid...
More of an arc, really 😅
Ducks, not so much, but I can get (some of) my dogs in a line #DogSky
Both. My kids were too old to participate, but as they did 4H diary, and I had Jacob Sheep, I so badly wanted to have them show one as if it was a holstein 😆
Yeah that'll be a texel 😆 OMG I want to see the glitter sheep!!! They brought a costume class back into our national show a few years back, and it's SO adorable
Drought conditions called for an upgrade Ironically, while it is lightly raining... #GardenSky 💧
I've done most of those to sheep myself 😄 I've never bothered to buff horns, as I was always showing here as an 'oddity' It's actually a multi-day process, usually starting a week or two before (Just for the beautification, of course the actual work to get there is years old)
I needed upper and lower braces, but my kids have perfectly strait teeth and haven't needed anything... Did I feed my kids hard to chew foods when they were growing up? 🤔 I'm having a bit of an existential crisis about my cooking... (I am of biological UK ancestry) youtu.be/SocSaQ-0IbI?...
My best friend today, because I was diagnosed with "mild arthritis" in my neck before 35 👵 We got a tiny sprinkle, so I'm getting all the pain with none of the gain!
I love the new easy skip feature! Entirely agree, I downgraded most of our other subscriptions because YouTube is all I really watch (My kids want the others)
You're going to be annoyed when you figure it out, Classic Connections trick
It's all going JUST north of me 😭 I can hear the thunder, and we've barely had a drop of rain #GardenSky #Drought 🙏🌧
That was already coming to an end, John Oliver did a peice on it The short version (to my memory) is that companies were able to export goods under a certain value from Canada to the US with no terrif so were taking advantage of that, but that laws been changed Gov. is trying to kill the USPS
I assume this is in relationship to storing onions or potatoes, but untethered this is quite ominous 😄
I was SURE this Creeping Jenny was dead, turns out she was just sleeping #GardenSky 🌿
Corraled the oldest into helping me out Hosta split and replanted in multiple spots around the yard And he dug up a yellow daylilly for me that needs a home somewhere else Just waiting for todays thunderstorm now 🤞 #GardenSky #ShadeGarden 🌱

No, that's for show clipping So much shag... (Sheep farmer joke)
We also had a kid who left to join a terrorist group... so I don't know what that says about this place.
This is a true story from my town, and we now have a road named in his honour You're never too young to make a real difference RyansWell.ca
@badgermash.bsky.social 😆
I'm just thinking, please don't let American tourists anyone near it because someone would do something incredible dumb for the TikTok
I've wanted to grow honeynut! How do you find the difference in growing habit/taste?
Also I am desperate to learn about the black current wood syrup, sort of feeling like the chefs are fucking with everyone on this one 🤨 Might just have to try it and see...
I love the concept of this restaurant only sourcing Canadian ingredients! youtu.be/X5KNTnmaq9Q?...
😥
The world as it is, is worth being upset about. If you're not upset, then you're not paying enough attention. We owe the future our attention in these times. Have a cute dog for a little joy
Today's was tricky but I'm really enjoying NYTs new game Pips #10 Hard 🔴 5:10
