Got lots done yesterday: planted the new horseradish root next to the mature one; prepped the tomato area along the inside of the veg fence; prepped the improved raised square bed (note robin is helping) for probably globe artichokes; improved some hardscape features; brought a few more plants out to harden off; and discovered to my delight some native plants making a comeback, like goldenseal, and established natives doing really well this year, like jacob’s ladder and woodland phlox, and of course the masses of bluebells and violets of different colors taking over.  I like to think I helped liberate some of them through maintenance, but mostly it was due to conducive natural conditions this year.  Every day I discover something new and exciting coming up.

The world continues to be a nightmare.  It will get even worse, until it finally, unfortunately breaks down altogether, with forceful assistance from people who want their democracy back.  This Passover certainly takes on new, historical meaning and relevance, as innocent millions are murdered, devastated, deported, tortured in concentration-like camps, and denied basic human rights and justice.  You can’t deny or ignore what’s happening right in front of you, unless you’re as degenerate as the perps.  Had to get that out.
