@slimgoober @hkort Buy it

@hkort That’s a beautiful spot, and that house is very nice. What’s the temperature range up there?

We're only planning to move rural in 2 years (stuff to finish in our current country), but looking around to orient ourselves. And then we run into this. Built in 1900, 3,5 acres on the edge of a forest. Cute. Affordable. But in a sore state. What to do?

@RizomaSchool It’s dark now

@RizomaSchool Whatchudoin in Berlin

@slimgoober Waiting her too so desperately

It’s pouring. I am elated. This weather has been teasing a sprinkle of rain here and there for 3 days, after 3 weeks without rain (very unusual). Keeprainingkeeprainingkeepraining…

@hkort @permapeople_org Early!

@permapeople_org Raspberries!! twitter.com/hkort/status/1…

Sooooo what's growing on? We've been a little slow around here due to *ahem* ✨gardening season✨. Happily digging and weeding and sowing and harvesting. What are you harvesting so far?

@permapeople_org Walnuts are coming

@slimgoober Arugula. I can’t even remember planting it, must have dropped some seeds somewhere. Since then reliably showing up in random places around the house every year and we’re adding this to salads all the time

We joke about annuals vs. perennials, but why don't we talk about self-seeding annuals? What are your fav self-seeding annuals/biennials? Last year I threw thousands of bok choy seeds over the bare soil of my newly soiled (🤭) "herb" garden. Hundreds of bok choy came up. 👇

Planted 244 onions yesterday and today. From left to right: 4x20 Red Baron, mulched with chipped juniper, grass clippings 4x16 Stuttgarter Riesen, grass clippings 4x20 Sturon, Wood chips from diff stuff, grass clippings Did not water when planted, instead hoping for rain

We're a little late, but our new garden planner [beta] is ready for testing on desktop (mobile coming soon). If you want to save a plan, you can log in and create a new plan from the Create menu, or just play around here. Let us know what you think! permapeople.org/plans/new

@Pratik_Santani @DB_Bahn This would be BVG which let's me have it only from June

@bknofe @DB_Bahn Buy it from your local transport company. Like for Stuttgart, I bought it on VVS app and it worked in first try.

3rd of May. Still not possible to buy the #deutschlandticket on @DB_Bahn because “overloaded”. There couldn’t be a better political message than this.

Best team ever. Never got cheered like that when entering a meeting 😊

@catc0r @permapeople_org @slimgoober @hkort What did I miss? 😅

My main takeaway from watching humans argue that GPT-4 isn’t capable of reasoning is that I’m more deeply persuaded than ever that 90% of human reasoning is just rationalizing prior assumptions against ambiguous external stimuli. It’s hallucinations all the way down.

@slimgoober @Twitter Same here. See tons of tweets from random people including Elon which I have blocked 🤣🤣

"Following" is officially meaningless on Twitter. I don't follow either of these people in my "following" tab. wtf @Twitter ?

@cognazor Interesting. It looks like its native to Europe, so I can actually grow it here. Was always wondering what would be an european equivalent because I mostly see US gardeners talk about it.

@bknofe Yes bocking 14

Propagating comfrey. Digging up this one plant yielded 30+ roots/crowns that were replanted, a part of the original will grow back too. In the last picture you can see a couple of the crowns I planted in the perennial bed
