chris suggested we use grommets to secure the cloth for our wind barriers, &damn i rly like this tool
poor little guy got stuck... Chris cut him out& he scampered off
"I do not love my country. I love the people in it and want their needs met."
so you love the kind of people who're in your state? you feel a special affinity with them? a shared interest? yea, im sure you have a lot in common.
started processing acorns a few days ago with the girls, sucks i had to leave before it finished but fuck i can't wait to try cooking with acorn flour
@ZiaNitori im driving up wednesday now lol but ill try to leave earlier than last time so i get there before dark
Okay I always feel guilty posting videos because it takes up a lot of space but with everything going on I think we deserve 23 seconds of hummingbird moth
finally finished screwing on the vertical posts for my garden bed.. gotta get some kinda cloth/fabric to tie over the plants before the santa ana winds hit
@ZiaNitori that's crazy lol hell yeah
@ZiaNitori oh yea it would be cool if yall could like, shred some of the brambles or something. but lmk if you can't find someone who has one, bc wood chips are pretty cheap to buy in bulk at home depot (as long as the area isn't huge) &i could use the car to transport them pretty easily.
@ZiaNitori i forget do yall have a wood chipper
@exiliaex yea, i was reading about hornworms specifically. people said they taste kinda like fried tomatoes... i'm a bit squeamish about it lol but i think i'd try them at least once
apparently if u fry them they're supposed to be rly tasty..... hmmmmm
woke up this morning& found like three of these fat little guys on my tomatillos.. i picked them off& threw them into a nearby bush (likely to their demise)... but once they mature, they do become cool pollinators. there's a bunch of datura growing wild all around my area, which they also like to eat. so chris had the idea of next time just putting them in a jar& releasing them onto the datura plants
@ZiaNitori well it doesn't exceed the energy you get out from the solar panels. generally it takes somewhere between 1-4 years for there to be a break even point strictly in terms of energy
