LibertyLizard@slrpnk.netto Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•Bay Area guerrilla ‘bench collective’ installs seating at 8 Mission bus stopsEnglish1·8 days agohttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1YOzxeEf8EogD_QRBiJHeHenhUtBs6KFN/view
Sorry I had to ask around and this week was really busy so I didn’t get to it right away.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.netto Solarpunk Urbanism@slrpnk.net•Bay Area guerrilla ‘bench collective’ installs seating at 8 Mission bus stopsEnglish391·14 days agoThis is the hot thing in Northern California right now. They’re also doing it in Richmond and Sacramento that I know of.
It’s not too hard actually, if anyone is interested in doing it in their city I might be able to share some resources.
LibertyLizard@slrpnk.netto Mycology@mander.xyz•Growing on a mango tree (more pics inside)2·14 days agoThey love mushrooms actually. I’ve seen them eating mushrooms a number of times.
Oh are you in a very cold climate? I think they are one of the most hardy species, along with P. incarnata. I’d also like to try growing that species but they don’t seem to be commonly available here. I’ve also heard of people growing P. edulis but it’s marginal for them since they’re more tropical.
I live in an urban area so I’m always trying to figure out how to maximize my use of space and vines are one such way. I tried growing a hardy kiwi this year but it’s struggling—I think it came with phytophthora from the nursery.
Mine started bolting but I just keep cutting it back.
In my area P. caerulea is a common ornamental vine. Not the most delicious species but not bad either. The inside of the fruit is bright red and almost looks bloody. I think maybe that’s a factor in why they’re not eaten, since it might be a bit off-putting for some.
You can read about them here: https://notahorticulturist.com/2019/08/23/passiflora-caerulea/
Would you want to make a new one and be a mod? I don’t want to create another account and I’ve heard moderation is problematic if you are on another instance.
If not, I’ll make one on my instance, but mander seemed to have the most support.
First good harvests of basil and sorrel. A few cherry tomatoes but full production hasn’t started yet. Pluots are coming ripe, and ornamental passion fruits, which most people do not deem edible, but I do :)
We’ve had a relatively cool start to summer which the plants have been loving. My citrus is even still blooming which is quite unusual.

I’m growing pepinos for the first time and they’ve really taken off and are now blooming. Hoping for a good harvest later in summer.
My sweet potatoes and tomatoes as also growing well. Peppers are struggling a bit but I’m not sure why.

Ah damn that’s still cool though.
Lab-grown organs will be an incredible medical breakthrough when they are achieved. Assuming we don’t destroy our society before then.
Wait is this real though? Because that’s pretty incredible.

lol you gotta change your email preferences. I don’t let them send me shit.
Interesting but it’s important to remember that Europeans and their plants have been in the Americas for over 500 years now, which is plenty of time for oral traditions to develop. I’m not saying it’s untrue but I’d be curious to see what the genetic evidence says, since that would be a verifiable way to confirm. But in my experience dandelions grow almost exclusively in human developments, so it would be pretty surprising if they were native here.
Wait, what? Expand on this.

AKA bedstraw. Known for being used as bedstraw back in the day.
So does my man get some or not? Don’t leave me hanging!
