Satoshi Doodles Name and picture from twetch — not on-chain. The signature is; the profile is not.

Yeah, maybe in a stir fry. They have a water chestnut-y texture, if I recall correctly.

Well, it's a good thing I'm an artist and not a farmer.

Thank goodness for the farmers. They are having a tough go of things lately. :(

😱

True! I don't see the world being fed without efficiency in production. A few radishes in your home garden or a quaint permaculture farm is very different from mass production like this: https://youtu.be/UyhHOpWdmkA

I'm not really interested in random photos of flowers. But... what's more fun is playing "plant detective" to find out the species and scientific names of plants. And other details about their growth habits or how to grow them.

My children still talk about that horrible sunchoke soup I once made years ago. The flowers are nice!

I don't know that plant, but nice colour in the city!

8b here - usually tomatoes get planted out May long weekend to beginning of June. This weekend's forecast is rain so will wait a bit longer. I'm pondering non-hideous ways to protect them from the rain (unfortunately, no space for a greenhouse).

Haha, I could talk about plants forever! I think a plant/gardening-focused twetch (e.g. subcategories: indoor plants, permaculture, homesteading, food preservation) could be quite useful and awesome. 🌱🌷🌻

Nature (or circumstance) doesn't always cooperate. In my small space, half of the sunflower seedlings have leaves munched by slugs. A few bush beans have been taken out, probably by birds. I woke up this morning to one lupin with ALL leaves slug-eaten.

Before I had a grow light, I used to shuttle (up and down stairs) the seedling tray from an east facing window in the a.m. to the big kitchen windowsill on the other side of the house for late afternoon sun. There is no good south facing window.

Tomato and peppers from seed can be tricky for beginners. I have lots of tips if you are interested (based on experience and trial and error in the last decade). Overwatering can be a problem, something that I relearned this year. They need lots of light.

I don't feel as bad hijacking @24's thread here as I would on Twitter because at least here he gets paid when we yak about plants while he tries to change the world.

Some people use a heating pad as part of their seed-starting setup.

Using seed starting mix/soil will improve your chances of success. I try to grow a bunch more seedlings than I think I need for the given space, to mitigate for carnage by birds, squirrels, slugs, etc. You can give extras away to friends or neighbours.

It's labelled as seed starting soil. It's sterilized and very light/fine in texture. I usually buy one bag. ex. https://balconygardenweb.com/seed-starting-mix-vs-potting-soil/

I find that gardening is a relaxing and annoying pastime to remind you that beautiful results are not only worth waiting for, there are many moments and challenges to appreciate along the way.

That's cool, but here the $ goes to me, not Ruth... 🤔

Dear @249, Thank you for the tip! 🌷
Sincerely, the doodler

Thanks, Paola! ♥️

Do I upload it there (bitcoinfiles) and then post a link here?

Whew! 😎

I really appreciated your heart to heart drumming. Hope this is not too uncool for you, lol. (Well, I stopped trying to be "cool" a long time ago, just ask my kids. 😉😜)

That is very generous of you. Thank you! If I tip your channel back that might even the vibes out...

Yes, people are being "data raped" but don't seem to care enough to leave. My entire middle aged friend/acquaintance network still uses FB. e.g. It's a place to quickly sell a pair of used kids' skiis via your friends' networks without using Craigslist.
