Good point. I guess I'll just wait and see before I plant anything in that spot.

I doubt I could plant a pomegranate here. Although with the new climate, who knows? More pictures will follow when it's all finished and everything is in place, but here is the main garden area: from left to right (ignore the pots) there is Boysenberry, Blackberry, Blueberry, and Raspberry (which I ...

So far I've planted boysenberry, blackberry, and blueberry. Even when I plant the raspberry, I'll have more room left over. And I even planted them far enough apart! Now wondering whether I should plant smaller things between them, or expect them to spread out. I've got room in the corner for someth...

Reading the past few pages of this thread, I see we had uncomfortably hot weather early in the summer, but apart from that, it's been mostly cool and pleasant.

Which is odd, because a lot of Canada is literally on fire right now.

We should consider renaming this thread, firstly because it's attracting spambots, and secondly because it developed into an overall discussion of Doctor Who.

Alatar, since it's your thread I'll let you decide...

I didn't know that. You totally fooled me!

An amusing anecdote from Dolly Parton's autobiography: Dolly Parton entered a Dolly Parton look-alike contest. And lost. In her memoir, Dream More, Parton tells a very amusing story. One day on a trip to Los Angeles, she heard about a Dolly Parton look-alike contest that was being held at a local ba...

That's pretty cool!

I looked it up - Granimator is some cryptocurrency trading platform.

Did you install a security mod? It was already like this when I first saw it - but usually I see a bunch of spam links, and I just delete or creatively edit.

Normally I would just delete crap like this out of hand but... is this for real???

Who doesn't want blackberries to take over? I, for one, welcome our new blackberry overlords.

What's involved in tending a blackberry plant?

So far I've gotten 3 1/2 jars of blackcurrant jam from my plant. And it looks like it's not even finished producing. I've only seen blackberries sold in the shops in quantities of 1 cup, at $6 per cup. To make vison's Blackberry Jam, I'd have to spend $36. I may have to forego this year unless I see...

Yeah, it does seem to be the new normal. Which is not good.

On the bright side, in between the storms we're having beautiful weather.

There was a lot of damage, but no one seems to have been injured. Details here

.... and there's been a confirmed sighting in rural South Ottawa.

Oops - another tornado watch today. Let's hope nothing happens.

I can remember when these were extremely rare.

Maybe it's just because we're between storms, but the weather at the moment is perrrrrfect. I'm taking a day off tomorrow to take advantage of this.
