Garden chores -- currently a lot of stuff needs weeded or trimmed around.
>> What have you finished? <<
* Weeded and planted telephone pole garden. It's mostly flowers. Asiatic lilies have buds.
* Weeded and planted septic garden. This one is mostly flowers.
* Assembled a lot of pots to turn the new picnic table into a garden with some of the top, on the benches, and on the ground. Plus made cords to secure the trough pots. This one is mostly vegetables plus some herbs and flowers.
* Assembled and planted the two strawberry towers.
* Set up all the new wire planters with pots. At some point I'll want to get trough pots for the tall one with shelves, and more wide low pots for the little round ones, but for now I've used what I had.
>> Are there any cool events or challenges happening that you want to hype? <<
Next up will be the Poetry Fishbowl on Tuesday, June 3 with a theme of "Gentleness Is Strength." I invite you to drop by, watch the fun, and give me prompts.
We recently finished watching the first season of Dark Winds, which is a Navajo mystery show. It is exactly the kind of content I wished for back in college when all the modern Native American literature was bleak to the point of dangerous. This is honest about the dark stuff, but also includes brighter elements like how people pass on their traditions in the face of oppression. Also it would make great crossovers with some other shows, like Supernatural or Lovecraft Country.
Most recently we finished reading Nutritious Delicious, a cookbook about cramming lots of nutrients into recipes. We marked a lot of recipes in that one. I've just started reading Anti-Caste Speculative Fiction -- a good choice if you're playing 50books_poc.
