Ok, new garden idea!
I remain desperate to remove the ugly low non-native pine hedge at the alley side of the yard. I never see any wildlife around it and it does nothing to obscure the view of garages and trash bins.
Eventually the apple and plum trees will obscure the upper part of the view, so I wanted something to obscure the lower part of the view.
My latest concept: the thorn beds!
The ground along that side is thick with big woody roots, so cutting them down and plopping a raised bed on top makes sense. the roots will break down eventually and make nice rich soil, but it's hella hard to plant into.
And, Ty misses our old garden's raspberry bed. I keep raspberries in beds because, as anyone whose grown them knows, they like to escape and run rampant.
But from an aesthetic viewpoint they're just sort of....a big green blob of a plant.
But how cute would it be to do a mixed bed of raspberries and raspberry colored roses? These plants like similar conditions and the roses are good at not being strangled by the berries.

So yeah. Kind of obsessed with this idea.

When you had accidently contacted magical forces beyond the known world, an entity came up to you offering to make a deal. She appeared as a slender woman, with messy hair, in a black suit, and when you got close to her you saw that her grin was full of sharp teeth, and her eyes were black with red pupils. It was clear she wanted your soul, and while you ended up asking a lot of questions, you've now ended up saying that you need time to sit and think about the question, and because of this she has to stay while you wait on the question.
After awhile you end up bringing her to your apartment, as you need more and more time. She has to stay with you. You ask her if she should stay in the guest room or if she's fine just taking the couch, she tells you nobody ever spends this much time deciding weather or not to sell their soul.
When you wake up in the morning (you're still not sure where or if she sleeps) she starts tempting you with the normal demon stuff, but after awhile it gets kind of played out. You've stopped being scared of the black eyes or sharp teeth awhile ago, she's just kind of a person to you now. Eventually you end up spending the morning just talking, she's actually an interesting person when you get to know her. She talked about this obscure Japenese horror movie from the seventies for like half an hour before reminding herself to remind you that she wants your soul. There's something kind of cutely awkward about her, or there would be if she wasn't so creepy.
She follows you to work, trying her best to look human. There's something nice about having her by your side. She's able to get a cop to stop bothering someone on the subway, as she's a being that doesn't actually have to worry about such people. She's even able to get your boss to act move reasonably just by talking to him with a certain type of manipulative kindness. Even on your way back she was close to deboneing a street harasser for you, the only reason she couldn't if because she doesn't own your soul yet.
After a few days of her staying with you, and most of your freinds being super scared away, your demon freind starts actually opening up to you. She complains to you a bit about her boss, this big red oni whose one of the top soul moguls in the underworld, he's constantly yelling at her to drive up her soul count. All she has is a small studio apartment in the underworld, and if she can't keep up her rate of at least one new soul a month (a lot by demon standards) she'll likely be evicted. Things seem to really suck for her, she doesn't even have a family or anything, she was just created like this, her suit doesn't even come off it's just part of her body like skin. She barely has time to explore much of the world, hanging out with you for a few days is like a vacation.
You ask her if soul collectors have any sort of union and she doesn't seem to understand the concept. You give her a brief rundown and she seems really excited. Later that night, after your home from work, she calls up a few of her freinds from the underworld to talk to you. A skeleton faced man in a top hat, a woman with bat wings and a scorpion's tail, and a creature made entirely of shadow, wait patiently at your dining table. You explain to them the basic concept of collective bargaining and how to use it.
Later that night your demon freind is gone, though she gave your her number. For the next few weeks a lot of sold souls get their contracts suddenly suspended, the devils and the crossroads are on strike.

Dragon Tongue beans are a great bush bean variety to grow, these kind of beans are high yield crops.
Tumblr media
To grow Dragon Tongue beans successfully, bean plants should have evenly moist soil at all times. Water lightly at planting, medium at flowering, and heavily throughout harvest time!

The garden keeps us busy as ever - today, all these lovely Aloe africana babies got individually repotted. Can you believe this were all under one single plant in a single pot? Whoever thinks container gardening is not fruitful, is truly missing something amazing. So much healing power, and so much life, in these green children 🥰.

Spent multiple hours today raking several years worth of larch needles and piling them into the blueberry bed for water retention, soil enrichment, and acidification. Got a good 10 inches deep of fluffy mulching.
I'll be doing even more a bit later in the year, to mulch all the grape vines for free, but this was more urgent so we could get these flammables up off the ground before hosting a bonfire for the neighborhood kindergardeners.
I am going to be SO SORE tomorrow, so I sure hope these blueberries appreciate it.

The National Association of Realtors and organized real estate played an even larger role in intentionally segregating the country than most people knew - those wrongs must be redressed.

A redlining map of St. Louis, prepared by the federal government’s Home Owners' Loan Corporation, used data from local real estate professionals to “grade” neighborhoods, based largely on their racial makeup. Credit: National Archives/Mapping Inequality
In March, a court in the Northern District of Illinois allowed a class-action lawsuit to move forward against the National Association of Realtors, the trade organization that is single largest federal lobbying spender in the US.
The organization, along with seven major real estate companies that serve as its co-defendants in Moehrl et al., could be hit with $13 billion to $40 billion in damages. (The lawsuit is the larger of two separate class-action cases moving through the courts.) The case revolves around how the NAR leverages its local member boards’ control of 97% of multiple listing systems to keep in place rules regarding set commissions — as the lawsuit notes, US homebuyers and sellers pay commission rates roughly double those of peer countries.
