The last of the mallow flowers (I think this is Musk Mallow). An edible ornamental.

Wild Oregano (Oreganum vulgare) is one of the best flowers for pollinators. It comes in dwarf forms for smaller spaces and different colours - normally pale pink but can be white too

For me, gardening is about creating a livable, beautiful space for *everyone*, not just humans. Copious seating areas to draw people out. Thoughtful, meandering, accessible paths for access. #NativePlants for insect larvae. #WildFlowers for pollinators. Habitat built-in to the infrastructure. #ForestGarden edible perennials for the people.

nostr:npub144ek95l24ve8st954ae8le7f84xfere5kdznr0v0dlwnyyyxr2wsfkk359 I would like to point at this juncture that I am a SHIT HOT GARDEN DESIGNER 😆
But it would be nice not to _have_ to be anything, just to be yourself

The first TV show that legitimately terrified me?
It was the mid ‘60s and I was 11 years old. Late at night I crept near my parents’ room to secretly watch their TV show and saw a man peeling back the skin on his arm only to find out that it was full of wires and metal and that he wasn’t “real” 😱 For years I’d wonder how I’d even know if there were bionic beings walking around!
For image see:

The one that gave me the jeebies was the granddad that died, but refused to be go quietly. He started rotting in front of the family and arguing that he didn't want to go.

nostr:npub1tlmcf382cxuj2fvrpnsfp33nlqcpyej2cut7tqwx65etz6l8x3nq83sp2j Yep. Civilised is how you treat the less fortunate. Same goes for food. And then Keir Starmer says he's going to halve child poverty. Jeez.
I could really do with some #GardenDesign work around about now 😆

Do I _have_ to get a job? WTF are influencing skills anyways?

because as everyone knows, you're not allowed to identify a problem unless you have a solution standing by
