This is a south facing aspect. Rough mulch from around the yard underneath the trellis. Vines, and sunflowers stalks etc. I have embedded in the ground 3 clay planters with the drainage hole plugged. When soil is dry it wicks through the planters. My plan is to fill the trench in front of the row with wood chips. And switch to cucumbers or green beans as we get into summer, then maybe back to peas as we approach fall? Rockery in the back for small reptiles in theory.

French sorrel is the largest plant in this image but it is surrounded by hundreds of Claytonia seedlings and a few random weeds. I’m not sure the name of the weeds are with the purple flowers but last year I observed the weeds life cycle was pretty quick and then gone not much of competition and where it grew it became mulch. So I just tolerate it. The bees enjoy them currently anyway.

I will try to take a picture tomorrow but it seems to be outcompeting the weeds. The bed is fairly isolated but still impressive.

I planted “miners lettuce” or Claytonia a few years ago from seed. It seems to be reseeding prolifically. It is very resilient to cold weather, stems and leaves taste like lettuce. And is supposedly high in vitamin C. Zone USDA 6a.

Economy and Debt

#usa Dems and Reps will both have their sacred cows. And the #political infeasibility of either side caving to the other results in the next 50 years being harder than the previous. It will be a higher #tax or #Inflation regime. Or large cuts to #government spending which also translates into hardships. Significant increases in #productivity could save. https://reason.com/2023/03/23/to-balance-the-budget-republicans-must-cut-military-spending-trim-entitlements-or-raise-taxes/

SVB and bank failures

I’m confused by the media and everyone reacting or reaching for strange explanations of #SVB or the other current bank failures (like being ‘too woke’ or ‘greed and capitalism’ or ‘too much regulation’ or ‘too much deregulation’. Simply, the #FED increased interest rates a lot, recessions very frequently follow interest rate increases, and bank failures frequently occur during those #recessions. This is not an emergency, this was expected. Enjoy your day!

“Reductio ad absurdum”- in an argument or proof, you assume a statement and can generate the result of a contradiction. Or more loosely you can generate a result that is absurd or untenable. Then you can say, “clearly since assuming the statement resulted in a contradiction, the opposite of the statement must be true”, which is typically the thing you actually wanted to prove. I’ve seen comments suggesting people are confused so just wanted to clear that up. #philosophy #technicallyincorrect

Is there an ideal size of country for a functioning #democracy ? An entertaining dive into why a better international comparison for public policy discussions including the United States may not be Norway, or Finland, or Sweden, or UK or Spain or any other European country but instead is the EU #eurozone itself. https://politicalorphanage.libsyn.com/why-america-cant-europe #moderate #economics #policy #healthcare #taxes #politics

https://geeknews.chat/@arstechnica/109773014661470859 I’m asking 1) Why exactly is it illegal for #eggs to be transported across the border? Is there a real risk, do we think what comes out of a chicken in Mexico is that dangerous compared to what comes out of a chicken in the US? 2) Why are eggs cheaper in Mexico than in the US such that they can be profitably smuggled now but not before? Did #birdflu not effect chickens in Mexico? If so Why?
Anyone have answers? #chickensofmastodon #chickens
