Open Post... With a Summer Garden Photo Tour!

[kimberlysteele]

The work in progress... I meant to do more plantings in the front.  As I mentioned in my Spring Garden post, the boxwood experiment is over (they hate the front yard) unless they're in containers.  My plans are to put more hardy perennials in the front that can take crappy conditions.  The front garden you see here has got the worst soil in my entire yard.

This is one of the few shady spots in the yard.  It's my favorite spot because it's the most established.  The hostas come in thickly enough to keep weeding to a minimum.  The pear tree hasn't fruited yet but it provides some nice shade.  In this garden, there is a Rose of Sharon, many varieties of hosta, ferns, a black cohosh, catmint, borage, and purple coneflower.




Raspberry bushes -- they are producing the sweetest berries I've ever tasted right now!  Also various daylilies, rudibeckias sown from seed, and a butterfly bush that is about to bloom.

Borage growing alongside the tomatoes.

One of our many ferals in the sea of herbs and Stella D'Oro daylilies that is the Celtic Cross garden.  I never bought a single Stella daylily, by the way, these are 100% divisions from the plants from the front of the office building where I rent space.


Milkweed is blooming!  This milkweed was started from seeds a few years ago.  I gathered the seeds at the local forest preserve sometime around the autumn of 2017.  I just let it grow in the beds.  Butterflies and bees love it.

Hi Kimberly,

I'm always impressed when you post pictures of your garden: it always looks quite lovely.

On a very different topic, my parents got their second dose Covid "vaccines" Monday, and I'm now even more confident I don't want to get it, which I didn't think was possible. Their short term side effects from the first dose didn't seem too bad, but it does look like the second one is way worse. My dad is knocked down on his back, and shows no sign of recovering; while my mom got a killer migraine. According to my mom, it's just a fluke she had a killer migraine, and the fact my dad looks like he's dying (this is not hyperbole by the way; I'm worried he might actually be about to die) is proof that I need a vaccine, because a) they're perfectly safe and the fact these symptoms started when they got the shot is a fluke; b) the symptoms prove it works, so the fact it's worse than Covid would be for my dad is actually a good sign, and c) just think of how bad Covid must be if the vaccine, which is vastly more mild than Covid, does this!

The fact that these arguments cannot all be true does not seem to enter into the equation in the least. The way that the brutal symptoms they got hit with is being used as proof that the "vaccines" are necessary and good is profoundly unnerving; if this is widespread, then as more people get their second doses things are about to get even crazier when it comes to the pressures to get these "vaccines"...

Yikes! That's terrible. Your poor dad. Being laid out like that is brutal. It's amazing their dissonance has outlasted the side effects of this horrible inoculation. Coviditarians/Branch Covidians act as if they are members of a looney-moonie religious cult. They have drunk the Kool-Aid, barely survived, and gone back to worshipping their dead leader. Sadly, if my parents were like yours, I'd move as far away as I could get and never speak to them again. I don't say that lightly or easily as living without parents isn't anything I'd wish on a person. If you move to Hawaii for Pele, definitely stop by if and when you go through O'Hare airport!

You were asking for recipes -- I have a ton. I will answer you on JMG's blog.

Also, I had a young friend, not yet 30, who got the shot even though she didn't want to. Pressure from family and friends, of course. She has not felt good since. It was only the first one.

[mollari]

I have a couple of friends who did not want to get the shots, but did it anyway; so far they didn't get the second ones, and luckily they've turned out okay. I don't want to think about what'll happen when they do finally get the second shots, or if it turns out any of the concerns around long term issues or ADE turn out to happen...

[mollari]

I'm really, really happy that my dad seems to be recovering. He's also been the most reasonable member of my family regarding my concerns. I haven't told him I never plan to get one, but he agrees that it's reasonable for me to wait for long term safety data. Once he's up and about I'll see whether his opinion has changed for these vaccines. I sometimes wonder what he'd be like if he didn't have my mother in his life: I think he made a major mistake marrying her, but it's his decision, and he does love her.

As for moving to Hawaii, I'm thinking my best bet is to move to the US first, and then go to Hawaii once I'm in. People on the islands don't usually like to hire people who aren't already there, because too many people will apply and then if they got the job not take it. So barring a minor miracle, I'll likely be moving to the continental US first. Of course, Pele may very well grant me such a minor miracle, but I won't plan on it. I will let you know if I'm ever in the area. I figure there's a good chance of that when I move into the US, given that Chicago is a major hub for travel.

Finally, thank your for the recipes! Taking a look at frozen dinners for ideas is a wonderful idea, and one I think I'll will help my meal planning a lot.

Ugh, there's someone on JMG's Open Post (Dylan) saying he's thinking of getting the vax! I just wrote a long paragraph suggesting he or she look into it first.

Side effects

[(Anonymous)]

Has anyone heard if one of the side effects can be Ulcerative colitis? My 69 year old uncle just got that after his second dose. Everyone else that I know who has got the vaccines have gotten pretty sick after the second dose for only a day. Then they feel fine. Almost all of them are not crazy about the situation so maybe that helps.

I stumbled here after seeing your your YouTube videos so I don't know the references to JMG or the associated blog

Is there an enlightening URL to share?

[kimberlysteele]

Yes... it's a great blog! http://ecosophia.net and http://ecosophia.dreamwidth.org

Thank you, this looks really good so far!

Oof. I really hope he/she doesn't get it. I'll write up a story relating my dad's experience with it tomorrow, and hopefully it'll help dissuade him/her. It just seems too risky for my tastes, especially since Dylan said a loved one was diagnosed with a terminal illness. Dead is dead, whether it's Covid or otherwise; but it's surreal how many people don't seem to get that.
