gardeningToday we visited the Charleston Food Forest, Coles County Community Garden, and Lake Charleston. These are the food forest pictures. What started out as a beautiful fall day, sunny and cool, clouded over by the time we got out of the house. So the lighting isn't great, but at least the pictures look okay. (Continue with the community garden and the lake.)

Saving Tender Plants...
Nov. 7th, 2025 11:51 ammdehners posting in gardeningStarted propagating some of the more "iffy" plants in my garden. Either they're tender in our zone or will rot if the Winter's too wet.
Got a couple of Salvias done: 'Black & Blue' as well as a collected form of splendid(MUCH bigger than the dwarf forms you find in the garden centers). Also collected some tubercules from the Amorphophallus bulbifer plants. They're hardy here but if it's too wet they'll rot(clay soil). I've had no luck blooming them here though in Florida some Winters they would. They look about like a cross between Calla Lilies and Skunk cabbage, pink through purpleish. Smell like roadkill, not skunk....unfortunately;>! Thankfully, only strongly the 1st couple of days opening.
May do some propagating of hardy plants too this weekend. I've a Gardenia and a Dbl Oakleaf Hydrangea that I wouldn't mind spreading around. Cheers,
Pat

Throwback Thursday, Fandom Edition: "X-Men: Evo Questions," Revisited
Nov. 6th, 2025 09:48 pmnevannaI shared some of my early reactions to X-Men: Evolution, from when I was a teenager still trying - in all probability - to pretend that I was too cool for this show.
If I had the time and energy, I would try to answer some of the questions on the list, with the hindsight of nearly 25 years and many repeat viewings, all of which were on purpose.
