Open Post and Garden/Cat Update, August 2022

Please feel free to comment on anything and everything but keep in mind I delete profanity worse than the b word.

Baby oak is getting larger! I planted coneflowers and borage around him.

Rose of Sharon -- I pruned both of mine very hard this year and multiple times. It has lots of buds. Hopefully next month's photos will feature blooms.

Daylily garden with Russian sage in the background and a raspberry bush in the foreground. Last year I made raspberry cordial -- raspberry juice boiled with sugar and vodka. Probably will do the same this year. It makes a great Christmas gift.

This year's tomatoes, planted alongside calendula, parsley, and dill.

Borage trying to do a hostile takeover of the lettuce patch.

Hostas, fern, Eastern cedar, coneflower, ferns, catmint, and grasses.

I finally got myself a Dreamwidth account, so now I can, I hope, post a working hyperlink to this video of Gonzalo Lira discussing the rise of all-cause mortality and the decline of birth-rates since the introduction of the Covid "vaccines".

Thank you. I certainly don't mind. It's a very disturbing video -- as my Ogham predicted, the result of this is an enormous reduction in human population. And now my state of Illinois, California, and New York is at it again. They've all declared state emergencies over monkeypox. It's yet another thinly disguised "GET THE NEWEST VACCINE" scam.

All sorts of horror stories in the comment section. One example:

"Pretty obvious what is happening. I recently lost a high paying job for not taking the needle. Im in perfect health and have Natural Immunity. Out of the 6 people on our "team" at work, the other 5 took the needle. Within a few months, one guy in his early 50s was diagnosed with a rare, terminal blood cancer. Another guy in his 40s had a heart attack. Another guy in his 50s had to have a stint put in his heart. All 5 of them got C, after their needles. I lost that job but I have my health and they do not. They have job listings for my old position on linked in and they require applicants to take the needle. Its not worth it."

Ryleigh, age 8, is now confined to a wheelchair by her vaccine injury. She and her family have been thoroughly gaslit by medical "professionals". The girl is great pain and has suicidal thoughts.

These are so hard to watch.

In this week's open vax post someone posted an hour and a half long compilation of cases like these.

I'm at a loss for words as far as what sort of nasty epithet to pin on all these gaslighting doctors. There's just too many.

2:23 looks like classic demonic possession. Not obsession, possession. That poor woman. May the gods have mercy on her soul.

Yes, that clip by far I found to be the most disturbing. Yikes!!

May the gods have mercy on her soul indeed.

Yes, the gaslighting! Ugh! These people have no place in medicine. They are missing the most crucial elements of CARING for their patients. Video compilations like this one always leave me thinking that there is nasty collective karma in store for every single quaxxed person. Especially for the ones who got off apparently scot-free with no side effects and who were not at all forced to take it.

Hello, Kimberly and fellow readers. I am a new gardener and have a question about composting, inspired by a post from methylethyl over at Ecosophia. She talked about a method of planting melons (dig a hole, deposit something rich in nitrogen and probably gross, etc). I can't do regular composting where I live because it would draw bears, mice, and other critters. So I'm wondering if I could do a modified version of methylethyl's planting technique using things that won't be attractive to critters.

I'm thinking of digging into my raised garden beds and containers this fall and mixing in:
- Eggshells
- Coffee grounds
- Fallen tree leaves
- Maybe a little wood ash?

I don't know what the soil needs in particular. What do you guys think? Does anyone have experience with this kind of composting? So far this year my squash and cucumbers have done really well, scallions and lettuce are ok, tomatoes not very happy. Most of the herbs didn't survive at all. The wildflower seed I scattered around the edge of the lawn didn't take either.

Kimberly, congratulations on your baby oak : )

PJ Puca

Maybe just keep it to grass clippings for the green layer and leaves and wood chips for the brown. No food scraps in there. And dump pee on it.

Thank you : )

Eggshells are good, if you are going to grow tomatoes. Tomatoes that don't get enough calcium get something called 'blossom end rot'. I crunch the shells up, so they are small pieces. (But I don't have bears near me, so I have no idea if crunched up shells would attract bears.)

I have not done it, but I have read about vermiculture (composting with worms). They said the worms like coffee grounds (but you have to feed them more than that). Worm casings are excellent for the soil.

Re: ash; Ash can change the pH of the soil. And plants definitely have a pH preference. So if you've checked your soil's pH and it is low (more acidic), then ash is good for raising the pH and adding calcium and potassium, both good for the soil.

Randomactsofkarmasc,
I've been washing the eggshells and crushing them into tiny pieces...the bears probably won't care about those. Bears are more interested in kitchen scraps. A friend of mine had his composter torn apart by a hungry bear.

Thank you for the ash and pH info. I need to figure out how to test the soil to see what it needs and what the pH is.

Where is everybody's favourite cedar treelet?

Also, how is Momma doing?

Cedric is doing great! He's getting tall. He has really leaped upwards this year. I have not visited his mother since the last day at my Studio, February 1, so I don't know how she's doing. One of the main reasons I took him is because I believe they would have taken him for a weed and mowed him, pesticided him, or pulled him out. I think they'll demolish the building someday (it's a piece of s**t building that was erected in the late 70s or early 80s) and unfortunately I believe they'll wipe Momma out when they do it. Hopefully that won't happen for a long time.

Hey Kimberly,

What a lovely garden you have! Our apple tree has just gone wild with the apples, which means lots of apple juice, but also lots of wasps...
Borage does love to invade vegetables patches and herb gardens, but the bees really love it, so it gets a free pass from me.

Anyway, as this is an open post, at the risk of being "that guy", here are a couple of interesting things I've come across in the past week.

- The hollow moon theory. Basically, for a number of reasons, our moon is very strange. It shouldn't be so big (by a factor of 10 times), it shouldn't have the orbit it does (in the sense of no other object in the solar system has the same totally circular orbit), it is less dense than it should be, yet also much, much harder (as the meteorite impact craters on its surface are remarkably shallow compared to what you'd expect - almost like there's a toughened shell with a hollow core). Its material composition is unusual (very high in metals), and definitely not the same as Earth's (meaning that the main 2 theories of how it came to exist can be discounted, and the other main one, that Earth captured it in its own orbit is highly unlikely, as our planet doesn't have enough mass, and doing so would have de-stabilised our own orbit). It also may be older than the Earty, and even the sun (though measuring rock ages is not a precise science) and undergoes a 'resonance' phenomenon if impacted, where sound waves propagate down to about 15 miles deep, then spread out and the whole moon "rings like a bell" for up to 3 hours. Again, not something a solid object does, and there is no known or theorised mechanism for a hollow planet/planetoid to be created naturally.
Oh, and many cultures have folk legends of a time before the moon, and its arrival causing tidal waves and earthquakes.
2 eminent Soviet astrophysicists posited that the moon is an artificial satellite which was placed in our orbit for unknown reasons around 100 000 years ago, and they were obviously laughed out of town, but so far no one has been able to prove any of their theory wrong...

- The Black Eye club. If you search for this, you'll find pages of images of famous people (film stars, politicians, musicians) with a very prominent black eye. They always have an excuse like falling down the stairs or being hit by a baseball, but if you then search for something like "Boxer black eye" or "MMA black eye", you can see the difference - it doesn't look like blunt force trauma. In fact, it looks more like the swelling that results when someone's eye is removed, then put back in its socket. One theory for this is that something is attached either to the optic nerve or directly inserted into the brain itself through the eye socket. Either way, it's pretty creepy and the number of people affected seems to go beyond coincidence - I haven't had a black eye since I was at school, and aside from friends and colleagues who do martial arts, only very, very rarely see black eyes on adults.

And finally, your cat in the last picture looks like Toothless the dragon! :D Very cute.

Have a good weekend.

Mr. Crow

I recently discovered some Youtube advice on why my pear tree took seven years to bloom and did not fruit very much -- I need to plant a second pear tree of a different variety and then I will get prolific blooms and fruiting! I plan on doing that next spring at the latest. There is a steep learning curve to gardening. I feel the same way about borage. It can be a bit much but since the pollinators love it, I leave it be.

The hollow moon theory, which I had not heard before, sounds compelling! Maybe it's the hollow moon that caused the great floods recorded by just about everyone in common prehistory.

Yeah, it is weird to see so many celebs and politicians with one black eye. Two black eyes would make sense as the side effect of blepharoplasty, otherwise known as getting one's eye bags removed via plastic surgery. It's never both eyes though, only one, and usually the left.
Especially creepy is the celebrities who are photographed with the black eye who seem happy about it, as if they are getting off on being subjugated by whatever gimp-suited overlords run the secret violent S&M club.

The truly sad part is how you can see how haunted some of these people are, and to me that is the only thing approaching proof we will ever have. Joan Rivers seemed very haunted, as if she could never joke her way out of what she had seen. I really liked her. Supposedly she was killed on the throat surgeon's table after making snide remarks about the US "already having a gay president" in the form of Barack Obama during his 8 year term.

Britney Spears is another one. Her eyes tell a tale (even when one is not blackened) despite heavy makeup and a big toothy smile. I shudder to think of the things that were potentially done to her as a child and a teen. According to a blind item, Fergie of Black Eyed Peas allegedly lost her virginity sometime in her single digits via rape and was passed around as a sex toy for most of her young girlhood. The blind item reveals she did not have an actual consensual sexual experience until sometime in her 20s.

I used to envy the rich and famous... I think many of us did. Not so much anymore.

Hey Kimberly! Your garden looks amazing! I have a community garden plot - first time I have plants in actual soil - and it looks to be doing pretty decently for a first-timer. Although I should have invested in a better cage for my roma tomato plant, as it leaning precariously to one side! And I probably could have added some fertilizer to the soil before I transplanted all of my crops, but it's alright. I'll do better next year.

I wanted to ask - you mentioned previously an app you use for connecting conservatives to each other in their local area. Didn't it have some truncated form of the word "Liberty" in there? I'm not strongly conservative at all, but I'm looking to meet more people in my area and think the app could broaden my outreach for new friends beyond meetup events in the major metro area, which largely expose me to the more liberal populace.
