  • A new, better, year planted

    From Drew Lawson@21:1/5 to All on Wed Jun 16 00:12:58 2021
    The garden is approximately a disaster, but there is food planted
    and some growing. After the past year, this is wonderous. Nothing
    got planted in 2020 (more below).

    According to my limited log keeping, I am only about 10 days behind
    2019 in planting, so I can hope for some success.

    I have the tomatoes in (down to 9 cages, 3 trials), 6 cages of Blue
    Lake beans (hoping that is enough to get canning sized pickings at
    one time -- plain beans & dilly beans), and 8 (I think) cages of
    cucumbers, mostly for garlic dill pickle relish.

    There are several basil plants to be planted tomorrow. These are
    from the nursery as I flaked out and did not get them seeded inside
    like I planned. (Memory of $60 spent will help motivate me next year.)

    There should be other things, but after a year off, this may be all
    I can deal with.

    Several beds are complete losses after a year of neglect. No point
    in planting, just weeding, weeding & weeding.

    An additional issue is that our county yard waste center, which is
    usually overflowing with free mulch, is overflowing with brush,
    with no mulch to be seen. I need to find someone to talk to about
    what to expect there.

    I may need to lean on songbird's paper & cardboard methods . . .
    which brings other supply questions.


    As for 2020 . . . .

    Like many people in the world, and maybe several people here, I
    deal (sometimes well, sometimes not) with Depression. Over the
    last decade or two, gardening has been a large part of managing
    that.

    My *intended* garden schedule starts with seeding the tomatoes
    inside in February. Following that is tilling, mulching, other
    seedings (inside & out), etc. But by February (maybe January) 2020,
    I was glued to the horrible situation in Italy, and then far too
    many other places. And I had a sense of dread.

    And I shut down. Maybe if the seeds had been started, they'd have
    pulled me along. I don't know. But I was on the couch following
    body counts and frozen.

    By mid-March 2020, I was working from home. And I am still there
    today. (Eight years from even considering retirement.)

    Vaccinated and starting to crack the doors toward, um, something.
    Taking baby steps.


    I may heve neglected to say that the tomatoes are blooming.

    i don't watch much news as i find it mostly sensationalism for
    clicks. i check the headlines for a few minutes but otherwise
    i don't have the time for that sort of thing.

    with depression and triggers it's important to know what can
    set you down the hole.

    but also important to know that you can keep putting one foot
    in front of the other and get on to the next day. eventually
    the fog lifts. also hope you can get to see a counselor if
    talking to someone helps.

    i'm glad i was able to get vaccinated at last. Michigan
    was a bit of a shit-show several times with all the nutjobs
    running around with guns. a recent post by a doc made the
    situation clear. in 2021 the number of cases in MI was
    about 350,000 with 6,467 of those cases from fully
    vaccinated people. 98% of the people who died were
    unvaccinated.

    :) our plants should be putting on some first blooms in
    the next few weeks. they're growing pretty well. have to get
    the cages up.

    Hi Songbird,

    The doc left out some important information:

    1) the vaccine is not actually a vaccine (synthesized
    messenger RNA or mRNA)

    2) what were the deaths "from" covid, not
    "with" covid? (From what I have seen, it
    is around 6% "from".)

    3) what was the death rate starting on
    the date "after" the vaccine was
    widely administered? Of course before
    the mRNA vax, they would have all died
    without the mRNA vax.

    4) what was the death rate with a co-morbidity?
    What I have seen it is around 94%. In that
    case the flu or a bad cold would get you too.

    5) what was the death rate for those from
    the mRNA vax itself (currently at 4000 nationwide
    with approximately 13% reported)? Several of
    my customer have gotten dangerously sick from
    the second shot. Did the doc discuss that?

    6) In the animal models, when enough time had
    passed to reinfect them to test if Antibody
    Dependent Enhancement (ADE) had kicked in (means
    they body has trouble producing its own antibodies
    after a not-a-real-mRNA vaccine), what was the death
    rate among the test animals? (100% were killed.
    mRNA is known to have ADE issues.)

    I don't mean to depress you, but there is
    a lot of propaganda narrative going around
    about the commie flu, starting with the mask
    mandates. The doc smothered you in bull s***.

    :'(

    -T

    p.s. When I go out, I take Yu Pend Feng to protect
    myself, although I do believe I got the commie flu
    already 1-1/2 years ago, but I have not got an
    antibody test yet. Let me know if you would like
    scientific studies on Yu Peng Fing.
