Re food posts/recipes, I post unCWed toots, as I am on a cooking instance!

However, I am also trying to remember to write a separate CWed post that links back for recipes, for people who would prefer to see/boost food CWed.

I'm also trying to remember to add the hashtags #Food and #Recipes, so that you can mute these if you don't want them in your timeline at all.

Front garden: Spring 2020 overview, in pictures

Lots of pics on the blog. The photos posted here are the before (when we moved in, Nov 2017) and May 2020, to give you an idea of how it's changed.

For those at the back, if you don't have any bio info or any toots, your follow requests will be rejected.

Growing #Garlic? It's time to check if you have any garlic scapes, because if you don't take them off, you'll end up with small bulbs in the ground.

Short blogpost with detailed pictures on what to do. http://www.gwenfarsgarden.info/2019/06/garlic-scrapes.html

I realise I've never stated this clearly, so I will now. Please call me out/let me know, if I've said or inferred anything that is racist, ableist, anti-trans etc. I'm trying really hard to unlearn white supremacy, stop using ableist language etc, but I'm going to make mistakes. I'd rather know, so I can change that language/behaviour.

Further to the Stamets & fungi discussion, for anyone who like me didn't know...

The Paul Stamets character is based on a real Paul Stamets who is a mushroom expert in Canada. He is looking at how fungi can be used to "save the world" by cleaning polluted soil, replacing toxic insecticides and even treating viruses.

Read about him and the work he is doing with fungi here: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/paul-stamets-star-trek-mushroom-expert-mycology-1.4454204

HT to @dani for sharing this originally.

Am very sad because there is a world of people out there that won't get the fungi joke :(

OK, so it turns out lots of people say fun-gee, from different countries! How have I got to 53 and not heard it said this way before now?!!!!! Including from carbonspace friends?!
Rhetorical question ;)

My worldview is so dominated by plants, that when I think about trimming my hair, the word I use in my head, is pruning 🤣🌿

So, Stammers in Star Trek Discovery, keeps pronouncing fungi, as fun-gee, instead of fun-guy. I've not heard anyone ever pronounce fungi this way before, even by Americans I've, met from different parts of the US. So who pronounces it fun-gee, besides the writers on Discovery??!!
