Gardening tip of the day -
When you have limited space, time and/or energy to invest in your garden it's important to think about growing high reward produce.
Think about not just the food you enjoy, but the most costly food you buy. As fun as it is to have a garden with things like zucchini, black beans or onions, they're typically fairly affordable and available year round.
But organic raspberries? Asian pears? French green beans? Heirloom tomatoes? You're going to pay a lot more for food like that.
So when planning what to plant take the time to assess what is worthy of the time and space to grow it yourself instead of just picking it from the store or market.
Not to say you can't grow the cheaper more affordable produce, and there is reward in growing any vegetable but when time and space is limited its important to think about high reward produce.

the allergy i am seeing grow up around small talk in any form is troubling to me. do you know how to make friends with people in your physical environment? it typically starts with small talk. do you want to live in community? small talk. do you want to have the type of relationship with your neighbors where you can run over and borrow a battery for your smoke detector when it starts beeping at 10pm? small talk!! do you want leeway from your coworkers when you fuck up something small? you gotta be able to build a relationship and that's small talk, baybeee.
"but i don't need friends and i don't care about community!" okay, lone ranger, what about the people in your community who need you? "but i have social anxiety!" me too, bud! we simply must soldier on. making up lists of questions to ask people helps. and people are predisposed to be generous, i've found. even if you make some kind of mistake, what is this but the natural give and take of human interaction? nobody is perfect.
you were not put on this earth to live by yourself and then die. you need people and people need you. treat those around you with curiosity and generousness of spirit and you will gain so much goodwill in return.
