Heck of a shot there. Thanks for sharing

Satsumas look really cool. I love mandarin oranges. Any specific suppliers you recommend?

Some very interesting picks! I actually have quite a bit of Chaya outside, but I haven’t sampled it yet. It was here long before I got here. There was also a sour orange tree, but it succumbed to a whole host of issues that I couldn’t even begin to identify. The flowers smell divine though. I notice that you have several plants from the ginger family on your list. Any tips for growing them? I’ve been failing rather hilariously with any attempts just working with the usual stuff from the grocery store.

I’ve been eying some figs for awhile. I have a very small citrus seedling. Don’t even remember what fruit it came from (probably a lemon), though it’s very fragrant

You could try using it as a PWA. Just add the website to your home screen via Safari. You could also try using Brave to access mbasic.facebook.com. All browsers on iOS are basically just Safari (unless you live in the EU), but at least it comes with a tracker blocker built in.

I am in the Caribbean with a pretty heavy clay soil. I mainly grow herbs like Cuban oregano, basil, sage, mint, lemongrass, etc. I also have some fruiting plants like tomatoes and some eggplants. I have some shady raised beds, and I also do a little growing in ground, but mainly I use pots. What I’m really trying to do is to build out some more raised beds and have enough soil for the sunnier pot-based growing space.

First thing first, just to be clear, it seems like you are looking for more of an editorial perspective?

I mean I’m not read at all on soil science literature, so while I’m not opposed to anything “scientific” you have to say, and in fact would be happy to learn, I would probably need to do some googling. Also sorry mate, but you are officially a soil scientist at this point.

That’s the big thing. Posting content consistently is key to the survival of communities like this one

Someone in one of the other communities where I crossposted this, said the exact same thing

I’ve been wanting one of these plants forever. I love how they just let them grow

Should’ve been called Icarus

Why use Drake when I could instead make a twoset reference

I believe that NitroKeys are open-source. The New Oil did a video covering them.

If you don’t mind his particular style, the SsethTzeentach video is what convinced me to give it a fair shake. The in-game tutorial and tooltips are pretty good though, and will get you started. Overtime you’ll discover more and more systems. Oh and just so you know, the demo is the full game, but a version behind.

Have to throw CK3 out as my personal favorite grand strategy game (though EU4 and the like are other options). There’s nigh infinite content in weaving the story of your family and realm, and mods add a whole new layer to it.

Tossing Song of Syx onto the pile of games. Even if you don’t care for the art style, the game is immensely deep, and quite frankly, addictive.

Definitely was my first thought. I think that I’ve spent way more time on that game than I’d like to admit.

Maybe Storm In a Tea Cup by Helen Czerski for a book outside your comfort zone. It’s quite the interesting exploration of the principles of physics that underpin the world around us.

Ello, and thanks for the shoutout! Was there anything in particular you wanted to ask me about?

In Defense of Plants

I actually listen to his podcast, but didn’t know that he had a book. Excited to read this and your other suggestions!
