watching any of the Jurassic Park/World movies is like...
some park worker (besides Sam Jackson) gets eaten? "meh. dumbass." one CGI dinosaur is shown to have a boo-boo or be in mild emotional distress? "MY HEART!!! don't hurt my baby! look at that poor girl, she needs help and pats and a hug! I don't care if she rips my face off."
I liked Mr. Arnold, though. He's the one park worker I have ever been upset about the (disrespectful offscreen!) death of.

July 26, 2018: The assassins are driving a Ford Van with "Chem-Dry" graphics on it today. Seventh Day Adventist variety of terrorist assassins. Associated With either the Wesley Crowel Family terrorist cell, or the Sparacino Family terrorist cell, or both. Also, Monroe Family terrorist cell provided my location for attempted drive-by "Rig-Run-Down". "Rig-Run-down" terrorist activity can be seen by viewing news reports of such activity in Niece France on Bastille Day a year or so ago. That attack in Niece France has it's roots here in Josephine County Oregon. The driver of the Chem-Dry Van looks like someone who was at my doctors office last week. Things went sideways at that doctors appointment, I have not reported the activity encountered there and would need a stack of Fifth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States of America to do so, in leiu of a declaration of war. Regarding the doctor appointment on July 17, and the sideways nature of it, consider that three terrorists were neutralized, others may have been injured. Ask about "Paul", "Tiny", and "Clyde". I have a feeling that those three fellows are friends of Donald Trump. I believe Mr. Trump is upset about my knowledge and outspoken regard to Screen Actors Guild and their use of poisonous gases to kill and capture, citizens of the USA. Donald Trump is a Screen Actor Guild Member in High Standing. He may be associated with "Club-Med" activities. When Donald Trump makes a remark about "Cross-State-Health-Care-Insurance", he may very well be advancing secret soldiers of the Guild, 7th-Day, and Quebec. Donald Trump is likely to be the leader of a East Coast "Flock" called "Green Gelatin. "Green Gelatin" has a West Coast counterpart affiliate "Flock" called "Green Jello". If Mr. Trump is not associated with "Green Gelatin" then he is being set up to appear as though he is associate with "Green Gelatin". The most likely group of people capable of setting up Mr. Trump, or being is association with him as a "Flock", is John Bolton, National Security Adviser, in association with everyone at Fox News Media. I get phone calls from the following numbers almost daily:  971-270-5742; 971-270-5942 and others. On the rare occasion I answer such a call, I am told that there is an outstanding bill amount due for the company called "American Medical Response". Ambulance Drivers are pissed off at me for reporting Club-Med, Screen Actor Guild terrorism at hospitals. Such a call came in while writing this entry. The caller is always someone who sounds like they are from India, with a thick accent and the caller sounds as if in a very noisy call center, with much phone traffic between other such representatives, and other victims. This morning I received an unknown call from a New Orleans number: 504-308-2573. No Message. I have already been a victim of a "Rig-Run-Down" having been run over by a truck associated with the Screen Actors Guild and the Harrald and Joan Phillips family terrorist cell. My injuries resultant of  that Rig-Run-Down terrorist assassination attempt in 2012 were life changing. Still... no response to reports of terrorist activity in Oregon has come.

July 26, 2018: The World Trade Center did not get hit with airplanes that were hijacked by a few dark skinned, black bearded guys with box cutters. That is not what happened. Everything we saw was a staged attack perpetrated by the Screen Actors Guild. Hollywood. Universal Studios; Twentieth Century Fox; Metro-Goldwyn Meyer; Walt Disney Studios; Sony Pictures; Fox News; ABC News; CBS News; NBC News; and Bob Hope's legacy. And... Don't forget about the Blitz. CNN is a major contributor of "Live" broadcast killing service. They are the people who brought us "Operation Desert Storm" with cameras mounted inside the nose of the ballistic missiles so we could experience Laser guided accuracy and the skill necessary for wire guided warheads. They brought this to us live and in our living rooms so we could all gather around our televisions and watch as the targets are annihilated with a blast and instant, deafening silence that followed. Under the direction of George Bush Senior, social conditioning to warfare was perfected and honed like the edge of a cutlass, and wielded like an Ex-Caliber. The blade of social conditioning set us all up, a gift from CNN News, so that we would be prepared for a decade to come of endless, daily catastrophe's. CNN gets the Emmy, the Oscar, The Golden Globe. There is another, completely supporting cast of characters among those in the Music Industry. The Music we love and the music we hate and everything in between all plays a role in the events that led to the World Trade Center Event. The plot of such activity is mind-blowing. The people in the Music industry are among the most foul and loathsome human beings that Earth has produced. The trouble is that I love the music, and so does everyone else. It's been designed that way... with a script. The terrorist cell called Green Gelatin provided Nitrous Oxide mixed with Versed airborne gas fogging service and other manpower necessary to facilitate the attack.  Members of the West Coast affiliate to Green Gelatin, Green Jello, were also available and sent from West Coast to East Coast locations for the kind of work actors do. Complicated work designed and scripted to provide super protective bubble service for everyone involved in the attack. A wide variety of people were necessary to provide distractions, and do "remove and replace" services of law enforcement in the area. Complicated, costly, spectacular, dramatic, terrifying... and the event marked the beginning of the end of a useful and operative 911 emergency telephone service throughout the USA. It is likely that Mayor Giuliani played a role in the collapse of those Buildings. The 911 event in New York City, and at the Pentagon, had all of the same kind of complicated script-work of your favorite block-buster movie. If Hollywood can imagine, write, direct and film movies such as the Terminator, the Fifth Element, Mission Impossible, The Matrix, Jurassic Park and so many other complicated scripts, then producing live terrorist events is exactly the kind of work that they do in Hollywood. They did it live, and they are very, very good at what they do. The Screenplay for the live action drama that took place on September 11, 2001 is located within the screenplays of the movies that had been produced and were under production at, and before,  that time, as well as within movie screenplays of films yet to be scheduled for production. The preparatory work necessary to bring those towers down began in the years prior to the event from actually occurring. Also, the work that Screen Actors Guild needed to do included that the American public was ripened for such as attack. Things like Geaorge W. Bush and his "Terrorism Traffic Light System" of green, yellow, red conditions played a huge role, among other social conditioning of the public for the event. The "Millennium Bug" is likely to have played a major role in the timing of the attack. I believe that the "Millennium Bug" having a deadline of midnight, 1999, was likely a missed opportunity and could have been the original strike date. It makes sense for that to have been the original strike date. In the eyes of the Screenwriters, we should have woken up on New Years Day, 2000, to an end of the world Armageddon while people were still sweeping up Time Square. For whatever reasons, the attack was delayed. Those reasons could be a source of research to get to the truth of the attack on the United States of America by the Screen Actors Guild. Social conditions at the time, the schedules of Hollywood celebrities, movie producers and directors such as Ron Howard and Rob Reiner would make good places to look. Also, the entire contents of the Rolodex of David Letterman and Jay Leno would be of national security interest. When the truth is known, the people we have been worshiping will be found to have been exterminating us all. Whats more interesting, is that the World Trade Center was not the target. All of that spectacular event was designed to provide a gigantic distraction, with pop-corn and Jujubees, the people of the world devoured it like a Arnold Schwarzenegger Action Thriller. The target was the Pentagon. In order to take the Pentagon, it was necessary to take World Trade Center Building 7. National Security work was done there, and those offices in that building needed to come down for a successful attack on the Pentagon to work The target is still the Pentagon. The events in current news is filled with the same kinds of distractions, the same kinds of super protective bubble service, the same bullshit as was present then. Except now, all of that distinctive bubble service is EVIDENCE. The clues are where you find them, only those who look for clues will see them. Only those with authoritative power to stop the madness, can stop the madness... but they must first be interested in stopping madness. They must first be interested in preserving FREEDOM. There is still some freedom available, enough to find the clues and respond to them in like kind. The Absence of freedom is the presence of captivity. The United States of America is STILL under attack of the Screen Actors Guild. Now... they have more alliances, and more funding haven raped the country for all it was worth during the past eighteen years. The Screen Actors Guild WILL take the Pentagon if the National Security agency, the Department of Homeland Security and the department of Defense continue to do nothing but bomb Syria. Vladimir Putin is aware of the conditions discussed above. He Knows how the Towers fell down and who did it. He Knows because a large portion of Washington DC is Screen Actor Guild actors pretending to be politicians who know nothing of the preservation of freedom. Mr. Putin will bomb the Pentagon in the event that the Pentagon is taken by Screen Actors Guild. He won't allow them to have access to those buttons, big guns, boats, and airplanes that are accessible from within the Pentagon. In this way, Vladimir Putin may be the savior of freedom lost to Screen Actor Guild terrorists. He is either the savior of freedom, or the end of human existence in North America... and he knows it. With this knowledge that Mr Trump is either a terrorist himself and part of the Screen Actor Guild coup, or is a fool for being set up by them to look as though he is part of them, it is becoming more and more clear everyday that Donald Trump is part of the problem, and Vladimir Putin is part of the solution. We cannot have a terrorist in charge, nor can we continue to be lead by a fool. Mike Pence is not a solution, he brings a new level of Bible Thumping to the table. Only if things go continue to go sideways will we ever know the true role of Mr. Putin in our future unless National Security Officials and Defense Department Officials put Screen Actor Guild out of business and make high profile arrests for treason under the Patriot Act before they take the Pentagon. The problem is clearly standing vertical, we must remedy that ourselves, or gamble with life on Earth as we know it by leaving the decisions up to Mr. Putin. I don't have a solution, but i will keep trying to find one for my own freedom, and yours. Vladimir Putin, it turns out, is more than just a Trump Card, he is our Ace in the Hole. Pop-corn? Jujubees?

I couldn’t get past the 20th minute of Jurassic Park 5.  
Some anonymous dork gets murdered by dinosaurs-- but not anyone worth caring about, or under circumstances that are the least bit suspenseful.  And then Jeff Goldblum shows up in a weirdly humoress part where he doesn’t really say anything coherent, let alone entertaining.
Then, Bryce Howard makes being a redhead-with-decent-breasts incredibly boring, which is impressive, but not for good reasons.  Her scenes drag on and on.  Her character got a bunch of regular people murdered in the first movie, by running a dinosaur theme park badly, but somehow in the sequel, people are pretending she’s a good person, instead of someone who’s total incompetence literally resulted in other human beings getting eaten alive.  And she’s a pro-dinosaur lobbyist-- that’s like if the sequel to Silence of the Lambs had Hannibal Lecter being the head of a pro-cannibalism lobby... It doesn’t make any sense... 
Tumblr media
There’s a shot of Opie’s daughter doing the classic “look up in awe” shot from every other Jurassic Park movie but here, what’s she looking at?  Some awesome dinosaur?  Nope:  she’s looking at a rich guy’s house.  She’s look at capitalism, the most awe-inspiring and bloodthirsty dinosaur there is.  It’s like you can tell in a single shot that the people making the movie don’t even fucking remotely understand the grammar of the franchise they’ve been handed.  
Then Rafe Spall and James Cromwell show up-- Cromwell gives this weird speech that you’re supposed to pay attention to, but you can’t because someone is lurking around out of focus behind him while he’s talking.  You think it’s going to be someone dramatic given how distracting they are, except that it just turns out to be Cromwell’s nurse, who shows up to end a scene by telling him he needs to take his old person pills or change his adult diaper or whatever...?  
Anyways, all this shittiness builds up to Whichever-Chris-This-Is showing up-- and they try to do banter between him and Bryce Howard, but those characters have already had sex and broken up. It’s always so weird when sequels still try to sell "deeply dysfunctional couple gets back together” as being like a thing normal people should root for (e.g., Dana in Ghostbusters 2 having a kid with some other dude, or whatever).  I don’t know a lot of people who are like pining to go on rollicking adventures with their ex-boyfriend or ex-girlfriend who they fought with a lot, but maybe I don’t get out much.  And Chris-Whatever, even though he has solid comedy chops, from Parks & Rec or whatever, he’s not playing the scene funny-- he’s playing it like he’s bitter about their break-up....?  Why would ...?  That is a weird choice.
Anyways, she’s trying to convince him to save the most violent dinosaurs on Earth for reasons that make no fucking sense (why not just save the nice vegan ones???), but he’s like “fuck no I don’t want to be around dinosaurs” because duh, there’s been four movies worth of evidence that dinosaurs fucking suck.  Except then there’s a scene where she’s like “think about how you’re a dad to some of those flesh-eating dinosaurs, you asshole.” Cut to Whichever-Chris in a dark room watching home movies of him raising fucking velociraptors like he was their dad, and I shut the movie off.  
I’m in the mood for just something stupid and brianless-- it’s been that kind of week, but: Yiiiiiiikes.  Yikes.

12 Beautiful Pallet Garden Ideas – Roots Nursery
Pallet gardens are all the rage. From veggies and herbs to annuals to succulents, a pallet garden is clever and beautiful! They are wonderfully space-saving so you can surround yourself with a ridiculous amount of plants and flowers. Personally, that’s my goal every year. Here are 12 pallet garden ideas in 4 categories for you to create!
Succulent Pallet Garden Ideas
This gorgeous pallet garden is filled with drought-tolerant, easy to care for plants that look amazing all year, no matter what you put them through. The stained finish just puts it over the top. I could stare at this gorgeous thing all day. (found on Pinterest, source unknown)
You're reading: 12 Beautiful Pallet Garden Ideas – Roots Nursery
I’m a sucker for succulents. I use them anywhere, anytime for any reason. They live indoors through the winter. They overwinter outdoors in pots. They go especially well in fairy gardens. If I’m at a nursery and there are succulents, you can’t stop me from buying 5.
Mainly because succulents pass the brown thumb test.
Yes, I run a nursery, but I’m terrible at growing plants indoors. I started with LOTS of houseplants. If it died, I never bought it again. This approach whittled down my winter lovelies to something manageable. Ficus. Geranium. Begonia. And lots and lots of succulents.
Here’s another gorgeous succulent pallet garden from The Urchin Collective.
Herb Pallet Garden Ideas
The greatest thing about herbs, besides making your food yummy, is that they don’t need a ton of space to grow. Of course, they’d rather be in the ground. I mean, what plant doesn’t? Fortunately, herbs can endure some crowding.
The smallest sized pot recommended for growing herbs is 6″. That’s pretty small.
These pallet herb gardens aren’t even utilizing all the space for soil. They’ve only added bottoms to each ‘shelf’ to hold everything in. All they need now is some rich organic potting soil and some sunlight. (afternoon shade preferred)
This vertical herb garden beautiful and creatively clever! Using chalkboard paint adds such a nice touch. I use this paint to label SO many things. Craft boxes, jars and so much more. Using chalk to label your plants is so fun. Change your herbs and labels as much as you want!  The chalk will probably wash off with every rain if not protected, but it’s so cute, I think it’s worth rewriting!
Another gorgeous herb garden, built by Zina’s husband (slave). The labels on this one won’t wash off in the rain. And it’s just breathtaking. I mean, what craft CANT you pull off with beautiful penmanship?
Tumblr media
Jen and her mom (from JenAroundTheWorld) did such a beautiful job building this herb pallet garden, and an excellent job explaining how they did it. I love this rendition of the herb pallet garden because it holds so much more soil for the herbs to grow in. Herbs don’t need a ton of soil, but this design gives it much more space to spread. They laid the pallet flat to plant the garden and let it sit flat for about 2 weeks to allow the soil to settle. When the roots start to put on some growth, they place the new beautiful pallet garden upright into a vertical garden.

If you’re worried about chemical leaching, or the idea of filling the whole pallet with soil turns you off, here’s a clever little twist! Just use the pallet as shelves for your pots to organize your herb garden! This idea was featured by Jen from PinkWhen. I love how compact, organized and adorable it is as a display. (More about chemically treated pallets below).
On the other end of the spectrum, if you’re very handy, you can create this beautiful standing herb planter, shown here by BonniePlants. This particular planter was not created with a pallet, but if you’re short on wood, you can pull one apart and put it back together like so. If you’re not handy but love this design, you can buy one like it.
Vegetable Pallet Garden Ideas
Everyone loves a vegetable garden. But most people think you need a huge garden to grow them.
Not the case.
I’m actually pretty surprised at how little space can grow so much produce. I’ve seen this in square foot gardening.
I’ve also seen volunteer tomato seeds sprout in the most unimaginable places. The corner of a wood chip pile on a driveway? And it grew like crazy. Who knew?
You can create some breathtaking vegetable gardens with pallets. Take a look at this beauty featured at Epcot’s Flower and Garden Festival. I absolutely love the use of multiple pallets to create height and I’m amazed at how well those babies are growing.
What about fruit?
Just LOOK at this gorgeous strawberry pallet planter by LovelyGreens Who wouldn’t LOVE to look at that every day, and have yummy strawberries to boot! Berry Smoothies anyone? I’m down for that.  You can view the instructions on Tanya’s website. Or you can watch her build it on youtube.
if you’re worried about treated wood, or leeching chemicals, here’s some advice:
Most wood  pallets will have an IPPC logo, since they oversee internationally-shipped pallets. Pallets that ship overseas are the ones usually treated or fumigated to prevent the spread of invasive pests. Here are the marks to look out for (they should be near the IPPC logo):
HT – This means the pallet was heat treated, possibly with harmful chemicals.
MB – This indicates that the pallet was fumigated with methyl bromide, a toxic pesticide. Pallet makers are phasing out methyl bromide, but you may still see this mark on some older pallets.
You can also educate yourself to recognize what pressure treated wood looks like. Head to your local home improvement store and poke around the lumber section. Pressure treated wood looks different from untreated wood, and once you see the difference in color, it should be pretty easy to spot.
Flower Pallet Garden Ideas
Flowers are the prize of everyone’s garden. And anyone can grow them.
Annual flowers, again, don’t need immense root systems to grow well. Just good potting soil, sunshine and keep an eye on the water.
Have you ever seen how many wax begonias they shove in one hanging pot at the nursery? And they do well all summer. Have you ever uprooted a large annual geranium and taken a look at the size of the root system? It’s pretty minimal for the size of the plant.
A petunia seed fell in the crack of my block patio to the soil below. The blocks are 6″ deep! The next year, I had a plant a foot tall and a foot wide growing through that crack.
Some plants just want to survive and work hard to do so. To quote Jurassic Park ‘life finds a way’. There’s absolutely no reason you shouldn’t do wonderfully growing a flower pallet garden. As with any garden, start with great soil.
Holy Petunias, Amy!!! This unbelievable planter box was built from pallets by Amy over at HerToolBelt. I am SO impressed with how well they grew! Amy has instructions on her blog, how to build the box and keep the plants moist so they actually grow this well. I would follow them exactly

For all you apartment-dwelling flower lovers, there’s hope! Vertical gardens are awesome for apartments. Space-saving, full of plants, and just lovely. My all-time favorite vertical pallet garden was created by Fern over at Life On The Balcony (sadly her site is gone)  Her use of color in this stunning little garden is fabulous. She really has an eye.
Above is a great example of all of the beautiful plants that go well in a pallet garden. I see lots of nasturtium and many different types of succulents. The pale green trailing plant in the middle looks like a licorice plant. (source unknown)
How to Make a Pallet Garden
Here’s a super quick video tutorial below on how to build a vertical pallet garden for herbs. Make sure to pack and water your plants in WELL before standing it up.
youtube
Below is another simple way to put together a vertical pallet garden. This time, you take slats from an extra pallet and screw it to the bottom of each ‘level’
youtube
Below are full instructions on how annual vertical pallet gardens are constructed at the nursery.
youtube
One last video. If you LOVE vertical gardening, this man is brilliant at it.
Alex from Flower Street Urban Gardens has devised a wonderful gardening system that you install right on walls, fences, windowsills, your balcony. If you have a sturdy structure to hold a wire frame, this space saver can grow some plants! It’s perfect for individuals that would rather not bend to work a garden.
youtube
Best Plants for a Pallet Garden
Pallet gardens are such great space savers, but they don’t provide much growing space. Shallow rooted plants grow best, so we’ll stick with the following.
All succulents
Most herbs like thyme, parsley, oregano, cilantro, chives, dill, mint, tarragon
Salad greens like leaf lettuce, spinach, kale and arugula
Annual flowers are my absolute favorite for any garden so we won’t forget them here. Special consideration is to be made to find short-growing flowers that will fit in a vertical garden. The best annual flowers for a pallet garden are as follows:
Alyssum
Nasturtium
Wave petunias (regular petunias grow strangely)
Marigolds (look for dwarf varieties)
Lobelia
Verbena
Ivy
Begonias
Impatiens (for shade)
Last but not least, have FUN with your plants. They provide endless possibilities to get creative and surround yourself with beauty. Hopefully, this post inspires a pallet design of your own!
