I posted my garden pics to Jimi's thread- lots of gardening for me this year. I bought a new butterfly bench and I finally cut down a huge forsythia bush, dug and pulled out all the stumps and roots and put a birdbath my sister gave me so many years ago. Plus my veggie garden which is small( I had to hand dig it all) but loaded with lots of veggie plants.

Garden time is coming

Hey Jimi, I know I've been sending you a few emails about how our farm leverages strawberries to build a profitable farm. But rewind a few years, and we only planted 100 plants. In fact, although I can’t find the picture, one year I stuffed 100 plants into a suitcase to bring them to Ohio to...

Snap, I love your pics on Jimi's gardening thread. Just beautiful, a treat for the eyes and the soul, and all that life is about.

To me, gardening is an outer manifestation of that inner work, turning over hardened ground, adding enrichments and water to the soil, planting your seeds, tending to the progress, letting nature takes its course, waiting, hoping, meditating, being rewarded with pleasing flowers and landscapes, and nourishing food. I have always loved this ancient saying, "every blade of grass has an angel who stands over it, saying "grow". Back in the day when I could have a garden, I was always amazed that as soon as I lovingly tucked in the last bit of mulch on the first spring planting, I would hear distant thunder, rain on the way, heaven being happy.

But this is where you're talking about tilling, so this thread is where I'm replying. I don't know if this will help at all, but back in the mist of time I used a manual tiller, which saved me having to try to stand on a pitchfork and pogo to get it into the ground. This kind:

Except mine wasn't telescoping. It was my uncle's plain old one with a long wood handle and a metal tilling part. To be sure, the manual tiller still takes some time, roll roll roll, scape the soil to the sides, roll some more, and so forth, until you get the depth you want, but I found it fairly easy. It was excellent for breaking up a patch of lawn where you wanted to expand your planting bed, blasting through those roots, getting that out of the way.

In my mind I invented pogo tiller shoes, if you can imagine. If I'd actually been able to create and use those, I would probably have broken an ankle or killed myself. They were just a fantasy, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone else thought of it and actually made them.

Wishing you a brilliant harvest.

I bought a battery operated one that helped a handheld Craftsman one, but alot is good old hand digging and getting down on my knees and hand pulling weeds and grass. I have a 3 prong hoe that I use too. Thank you for your beautiful words on my gardens, I truly appreciate it. It brings out my artistic side.

Hell....Does Anyone Want To Go Riot With Me???

The sooner people realize this, the better: The BLM movement we have seen operating in the last three years is NOT the organic grass roots BLM movement that started many years ago with a Twitter hashtag. The BLM we have seen rioting and destroying is just Antifa in disguise.

Black activists want to remember Martin Luther King, not pull down monuments to his great movement. They want peace and prosperity for their children, and a stake in our democracy. Many black businesses were destroyed by BLM in 2020. The rioters were almost all white, trained para-militaries who were dropped off by the busloads in the riot cities, in every case from outside the states where those riots occurred. I'm not saying a few black people weren't convinced to get on the bandwagon after it began, but the first footage I saw was of black people trying to stop the riots. Trying to stop the riots with their bodies, if you can imagine it, many of them young women. They were saying "you're doing this in our name and we didn't ask you to do it". I saw one beautiful young black man in Dallas saying "We're being set up". Beautiful young man with big honest eyes.

This payout to the so called BLM movement is just another "in your face" insult of the coup we are under.

I'm back to edit my post and add more, in case it helps, since some of my long posts are big blasts of hot wind anyway.

As much as I love our active military and our vets, I can't think of any war in my lifetime that I have believed in. We are accustomed to see destabilization efforts in foreign countries, regime change, the installation of puppet leaders that we then murder and dispose of. I have always known that our tolerance of it would result in it being turned on our own country, where we wouldn't recognize it because we are inured to it.

The so called BLM movement (Antifa in disguise) was/is salaried. During the CARES Act when people were paid to be locked down and unable to work, the IRS went after BLM rioters, saying that since they were getting paychecks they would have to pay back the CARES Act money they'd received. Where their payments came from is something I do not know. S0ros? Our alphabet agencies? UN? I dunno. If there was any "secret weapon" where faith was placed, it was that the mainstream media will promote the narrative, and the average American will believe the narrative without question.

Anyway, why foment riots in the US? To what purpose all the destruction? Again, tearing down a society requires turning people against each other. The so called BLM (Antifa) riots were designed to raise racial tensions and foment civil war. Because we are a tolerant American society, the effort failed. The current "transgender" movement (the neutering of children) is engineered to create the illusion of a society intolerant toward non-heterosexual people. It sacrifices children to try to create this illusion. It has been a long time in the works. This will fail too, but not without the ruin of many lives.

We do have intolerant people. We do have racists and homophobes, but they are a minority in our widely tolerant, peaceful American populace. Once again, I will point to this excellent short film summary which will reveal exactly what is intended with these artificial movements that try to create hatred among us:


You have to have hate between people, conflict, fear and paranoia, to build to a civil war which leads to a society's collapse, authoritarian takeover, more martial law, more loss of rights, more restrictions, until the next generation can't even remember what it's like to have a peaceful, free country, and will believe conflict and hatred are just the way the world works, and that we have to have the big boot of government on our throats to maintain civic peace.

Empires come and go. Our republic may have a shelf life, but I believe that just by being kind to one another, loving each other, we will bring the rain out of this dark cloud hanging over our country, and once again enjoy the peace and joy of living free, with the renewed understanding that we can never take it for granted.

A 2007 newspaper article:

www.theguardian.com

Revolution, flashmobs, and brain chips. A grim vision of the future

Information chips implanted in the brain. Electromagnetic pulse weapons. The middle classes becoming revolutionary, taking on the role of Marx's proletariat. This is the world in 30 years' time envisaged by the Ministry of Defence.
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

2007. Nothing going on right now is accidental, organic or rising from the grass roots. It is all engineered.

We had Indian food for supper club tonight. Our friends, a couple who moved to Costa Rica many years ago were back for a visit with family. He specializes in homemade Indian food, having lived in India at one time. I can't compete with that kind of skill, so I just took some whole wheat naan breads and good butter.

Send me the pillow that you dream on
