What made you happy today?

[Wysps]

I'm told a 10 square foot patch of strawberries is too much for a sane person to eat themselves...I just finished laboring to make a 60 square foot patch for strawberries, on top of an existing 20 square feet (to be renovated), and I have not ruled out expansion.

That's wild!    Is there a reason why you chose to do just strawberries this year and not two or more fruits?

We have a row of blueberry bushes that are matured, but we can never get to them in time...the deer always beat us to them 

[Local Trouble]

Blueberries give me the runs.

[Wysps]

That is very sad  So no blueberry waffles or pancakes?

[Local Trouble]

Yeah, but I want to put handfuls of them on my Cheerios and eat them that way.  I love blueberries, but my stomach can't take it.

I do a few other fruits, prunes, asian pear, figs, blueberries. The new-normal type of heat here is making it almost unreasonably hard to keep anything alive, or ruins the fruit. It may just be because at the this particular time, a lot of my stuff isn't established yet.

You might try planting a companion plant for blueberries that deer don't like to fix that problem.

Finally got around to ordering a 3x3 sheet of wood so I can play Star Trek Alliances on the table and not on the floor. 

[BlueMarsalis79]

Strong enough to go on no matter what. 
(Yeah I know cut yourself on that edge)
But sometimes it's worth acknowledging when you pick yourself up.

I guess they're watching an old 20th Century (Fox) classic.

Is that one of the fleet battle kinda games?

Had fun drawing today.

Yeah. It's a co-op/single player spin-off of Star Trek: Attack Wing, which was made using the Star Wars: X-Wing engine. Kinda dodgy engine for capital ship battle, but it works in the end. I used to play Attack Wing competitively (6th in the UK one year) but the game slowly died a death when WizKids stopped putting out regular ships and supporting the OP scene. But they released Alliances this year and I'd been really looking forward to it.

Ah yup. You gonna use rattle cans and paint splatter to get a space vibe or just cop a neoprene mat?

Hey, you grow almost the same plants as us    We have a family residence a few miles away that has Asian pears, figs, blueberries, blackberries (wild), and American persimmon.  I don't know if you can get the persimmons to grow out there, but they produce a lot of fruits in the fall.  You can make a lot of stuff with them (bread puddings, jams, custards). 

We'll have to look into doing something about the blueberries next year, whether it be a fence or a companion plant.  I think this year will be another loss.  It's a buck with his two families that have taken up residence on our property, 6 in total.  There's a black bear in the area and I'm secretly hoping he comes around and scares them away...

England just beat Ukraine 4-0 in the Euros. Is it coming home? Is football really coming home? Maybe. We'll see.

[Huggs]

You say Ukraine weak?

Why you say Ukraine weak?
