A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research
This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here’s what I’ve got:
-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more
-Plant beans/peas earlier
-Plant okra later
-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!
-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em
-Wouldn’t bother with celery again, probably
-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I’d do kohlrabi again too
-Planted too many types of lettuce
Huh, I’ve never considered estimating the weight of my hands, but after reading I can see the importance/application.
Sweet! There are some additional more specific arthropod communities (arachnids and myriapods off the top of my head) on mander.xyz if anyone is looking.
With the hobbit foot hair!
I’m rocking with the PWA for now but you better believe I’m signed up for that Boost release
Saving this to send to coworkers next time we have to go to a meeting that could have been an email
Midday after working outside and getting really dirty or sweaty, when it’s still bright enough outside that you don’t have to turn the lights on and the bathroom is only lit from the window, you’re already so hot from working that the water has to start out lukewarm, and also you have a shower beer. My favorite kind.
Some type of stonefly, I think.
I thought it might be “is shrimps bugs?”
I think others are right that a lot of the issues you’re having are related to the size of the insurance you joined.
What sort of issues are you having? It’s been working pretty well for me using the PWA.
I don’t have chooks anymore but joining to get my chicken fix vicariously, until I move and get some again of course!
Love it!
I love a radler. Also, this is one of the things I really miss about living in Iowa - the organized beer rides and brewery bike tours were fantastic, you could do one practically every weekend in the summer.
I echo the sentiment that we should not take a wait and see approach to bigotry and anti-science sentiment. We should defederate proactively.
I’d definitely check to see what’s local to you, but I have a couple of ideas mostly relevant to my area in the Midwest, which is zone 6a/5b.
A lot of spring ephemerals like shade - trout lily, mayapple, trillium, and Jack in the pulpit come to mind. Wild geranium and ferns prefer shade.
A lot of shrubs are shade tolerant, including sweetfern, coralberry, spirea, gooseberry, bearberry, viburnum, mulberry, and pawpaw. In my area most of the understory is spicebush, sassafras, and dogwood.
Hope that gives you some inspiration!
Congrats! Welcome Twix!
Damn, I’ve been struggling this week with whether I should leave my PhD program with a master’s or keep toughing it out, and this really hit home for me.
