This is Republicans soft launching "children yearn for the mines" rhetoric. USA is effectively regressing and removing what originally made this country "great." I fear for my children as they grow older. I can only do so much as a parent to steer them onto a path of least hardship, but Republicans are increasingly making that difficult.
Consumers punting the accountability and responsibility of their demise to the next generation of consumers. I hate how feeble and weak willed we are all as a species.
Forgot to mentiom: Zone 10B SoCal
I'll tie a mesh bag to capture some seeds as rods I saw a lot laid out on my driveway
I took this when there was overcast in the afternoon, not close to any mountains
Yes, NPS staff but anonymously. Is that a problem?
Pathetic. We, the people, have the power. Its why Republicans are speedrunning fascism before the rest of dumb af America wakes up.
Planted Pink Ladies along with Red California Poppy to bring some life to my front yard. I've grown tired of the mono lawns I've seen and wanted to spruce things up.
It's been amazing seeing the flowers blossoming as well as fruits growing. Currently got blackberries, boysenberries, raspberries, blueberries, and grapes looking healthy as heck and pushing flowers!
Oh shit, yes my out/in flow is running constantly. Could that be the cause?
Hmm I have a small 3x3 or 4x4 grow tent; heat mat, lights, in/outflow, and 2 fans circulating the air. During the winter it would be too cold to get any of my peppers to germ as the weather continously dipped below 50 at night. My grow routine would be day time during night so the peppers 'high' would be a smidgen below 60 degrees by the time I woke up.
It's the second time I seen DLI so I'll look into it for peppers
Ah, try canning your excess? I plan on making some pasta sauce for any extra left over. Have you looked into growing vertically?
There's never too many then there's how much your spouse is willing to put up with it 😅
Hello Earth Shepard's! Waiting patiently for some harvests to come in. So far I've been plucking away at my lemon trees to make lemonade (tried wine, but for health sake I'm sticking to lemonade) until everyone else catch up.
Invitees are: Blackberry (x2), Peach (x2), Raspberry(x2), Boysenberry(x3), Blueberry(x1), Strawberry (pulled a few and they're good, x8), Summer Crisp lettuce (still producing and tasty,x6), Tomatoes (Roma and Black Krim,x10), Apple (x1) Bell Peppers(x12) and Zucchini(x2).
As you can see, bell peppers and tomatoes make up a large part of my garden. I'm shifting more to a perrenial grow instead of annuals (peppers here are perrenials) hence the large amount of peppers. In hindsight, I should had bought more Blueberry bushes and at least another tray of strawberry starters.
Besides the strawberries and the trees, everything else has been grown from seed. Pictures are just a minor snippet of what's growing in my backyard.

Trip Report:
Went 2/17/25 to Angeles National Forest for a quick jaunt. Had the trail to myself, there was fresh mountain lion scat alongside the fire road. I took the fire road route as I didn't want to bush whack through poodle dog bush as older reports indicated parts of the trail is overgrown.
I didn't make it fully down to the camp to assess the damage done by previous fires as the doggo was getting a bit tired. I'll probably make another trip in the coming week or two to check out this area as it's been a cool while since the fires came through. I stopped just before the junction where you can descend to the valley floor.
Total mileage: 4.37 round trip
