we’re getting ph neutral compost/topsoil mix delivered along with crushed stone for the aisles/borders. I think we’re going to do square foot gardening but we haven’t totally figured everything out

@remulacfrommars it’s too late to chirp!!!!

as always I do my designing in Pages because everything else is intimidating

@ponfarr I think they’re restocking some things; we figured out some trades and local options too

soil and stone delivering on Friday, get ready for a lot of raised bed progress pics

hell yeah (started on the 13th of March)

@Pixley @evan I am getting mixed signals here

would it be insufferable to name our three raised beds ferris, cameron, and sloane

Turns out one of the few places still shipping seeds is the hipster row 7 seeds so we’re gonna grow some habanada peppers (mild habaneros), tiny butternut squashes, and bitter cucumbers

@deneb it’s a thorny hedge, very thin, nothing in it

three 4x8 beds going up to replace a terrible hedge. finding stuff to plant appears to be a challenge as everyone with land is having the same idea right now

@djsundog John Lloyd Wright can go screw

lumber is just big lego

Gonna! Do! Some! Raised! Beds! This week!!!

This stuff

Nothing went wrong, but Henri definitely is into grabbing both sides of whatever wire is within rolling distance and taking a big chomp like a cartoon shark. I have a bunch of nylon cable stockings I’m running around and placing stuff in

So five months is the definitely the maximum amount of time with a baby you’re allowed to have power cables of any kind on the floor

@giromide we do cloth at home, disposable for sleeping and going out—if you do want to get rid of them we’d definitely take them! @sydney

if you were comparison shopping diapers, you might think these two programs are comparable. they are not. the pampers one is real, the huggies one is a terry-gilliam-esque bureaucratic nightmare

huggies and pampers both have loyalty programs, which, since you are gonna buy a bunch of them you might as well get somethin' back, but while pampers just makes you scan a code that you actually end up having to manually type in because the OCR doesn't work very well, huggies makes you EMAIL THEM A PHOTO OF YOUR RECEIPT and then they'll credit your account with points if you paid full price?? eventually???? like why even advertise that program, who would do that
