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

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.

JMG's Mundane Chart predicted some major 6th house nastiness for the US. I can't help but think this vaccine toll, whether injuries or in straight death, is a major component of that. Now it seems like instead of simply dismissing claims, it looks like officials and news sources are having to now go with the "side effects are problems but covid is worse" spiel. Especially in regards to a) the risk of heart failure for young men b) the observance of the vaccine being highly concentrated in major organs and areas like ovaries, bone marrow kidneys, spleens etc, as opposed to staying in the injection zone, and c) this so called delta virus version being 6x deadlier for vaccinated vs unvaccinated individuals. At the very least, we're looking at a large number of people, especially the young, running the likelihood of major health and autoimmune problems moving forward.

The handmaidens tale, a tv series where most women are sterile and the small remainder are considered a vital commodity, may be an instance of life imitating art (just as much as the film Children of Men). If we thought the attitude towards the boomer generation is bad now, just wait until the youth really start feeling the long term impact. My only hope, given the increasingly bad medical news, is that the wholesale mandate for children and the remaining unvaccinated, through private and public entities, becomes non viable as the issues become more apparent. Id rather have good health then a non-apology admitting culpability by the government in 30 years.

Why wouldn't it be the case that since the sterilized would be the majority that they aren't the ones who would subjugate those who don't suffer the affliction?

This would be especially the case if daddy government promised to give those people perfectly genetically engineered children based on the breed stock of people who had the sense not to rush into an untested drug.

Lots of interesting material here. My own "wait and see" strategy may have to extend farther than I'd originally thought given the potential of things like placebo.

Of course my suspicion is that "boosters" would quickly follow to try to mitigate damage from the first round

I'm nowhere near you and I don't use Facebook for anything. I'm not sure how I'd even find a group like the one you talk about in my west coast city
