So true, here in high desert it only grows where I water it, and no spreading... even 10 years later.

good evening! i am wondering what everyone is planting today.. and not just plants!

i an trying to plant the idea of "wait" in my puppies mind, planting lots of weeds in my conpost piles, sone gratitude that i have flowers growing, and hoping to plant some tomatoe seeds in starting flats.

What are you " PLANTING" in your life today.

If you have an old toilet ( manufactured before 1992) buy a new one as the standard changed that year to max 1.6 gallons per flush, rather than the older 3 or more gallons per flush. Even better get a Water Sense one, max 1.28 gallons per flush.

I'm on the hunt for a couple of lovage plants as I think they will make basic home-cooked meals much tastier, and they live for about 15 years. Much cheaper than buying celery, and easier than growing celery every

Garlic chives. readily reseed, very tasty, bees love them and they grow for a very long season.

asparagus, another long term one.. even here in the desert we cone across patches that were planted along arroyos years ago, and are now forgotten but still producing!!

FWIW on iphone running ios 26.2.1 i only see the "whats pie... toolbar" three times, looks like a section header. The whole thing appears as one page.

Property taxes, income  taxes, sales taxes, business taxes... somehow things need to be paid for. Unless we go back to ( for example) paying the fire department directly, and if you dont pay you dont get service. It is almost always better to collectivly pay for common things, purchasing power and all that.

I wonder if other states do offer more services for less money? or they just pay for the services with a different funding source?

i like it! just bought a pie to test out the stripe / apple pay. went super smoothly!

Great job!

i do cold pile. here in the high desert that means years in a bin with no lid so some water can get to it. 5-8 years later MIGHT be compost. or might still be looking jyst like when it was filled up.  

worm bin, in the shade, now THAT one rocks and by the end if the summer they go so fast I can see it sink every day. not sure if its just the worms  that make it so so fast but there is all kind of things in it. isopods. flying specks. centupedes. cant wait fir it to start up!
