    Not planting, baking and gaming. But yes I lost all interest in the election drama after the primaries.

      good chance it'll be the last election cycle i'll ever have any interest in. once AOC gets fucked that's it for sure, but that probably won't be for like 8-12 years

      100%. I got a cutting off of my friend and I'm in zone 13a. I intend to chuck it outside eventually and just give cuttings out for free. Crash the market! Fuck plant capitalism.

    I do some recreational gardening, just gave my summer grow the chop a week ago so once it cures I should be set for awhile, got a pretty good yield so I'm gonna have plenty to give to my comrades too

      Once she gets to 10 plants per square foot you will experience better air quality. Tell her to keep going!

          Taro actually comes from certain cultivars of alocasia. If she's cool with chopping up one of her babies as an experiment you could make some dank boba tea!

      They are! Unfortunately capitalism has ruined a lot of the cool ones. Americans will pay big money for endangered plants from other countries. So there's a lot of poaching and a many of them going extinct in the wild where they are endemic. Home grown ones are often ridiculously expensive. It fucking sucks.

    I don't fuck with inside plants. But we had a solid summer, and I plan on prepping habanero and cayenne seeds for next spring.

        These would be seeds from the ones we grew over the summer. It's gonna be my first time since moving away from home for college of planting the seeds I harvested, and my first time growing hot peppers from seeds instead of buying plants.

          Plants are actually so cool in that you don't need to buy em technically tbh. They grow from seeds! They grow from cuttings! Sometimes they'll even grow from leaves. Based plants.

    I missed the (not so super) bloom last year. I got to see it the year before and created a mini bloom in the limited space I have. I'm not missing it this year, no fucking way. Fuck the election, I want to see poppies on the hillside again.

    It's starting to nibble at me. I ended up getting a snake plant and it's really chill. Shame the growing season is kind of behind us now.
