QOTDI did not understand at the time that there was no way to talk to people who had already forgotten that war is an expensive and dangerous thing to do, and it happens to involve killing lots of people, and, most of all, that killing lots of people is bad. It is bad whether someone else does it or you do it, but you can control you, and if you know that killing lots of people is bad, you don’t fucking do it. I tried to express this on my blog, many times. Maybe I wasn’t very good at it. Maybe I thought it was so obvious that I didn’t explain it clearly enough. I guess I thought everyone already knew.

I’ve currently got about 30 spikes of these beauties on five plants. Great for when stuff gets a little over the line….

thank you, Citizen
flowers are never wrong here at corrente. my hyacinths are pushing up now, i promise a nice shot of them when they finally get to bloomin. they should be first to flower this year, although i did put in some bulbs so we’ll have to see which plant gets the prize.
I'm hoping my bulbs don't rot
I have what I hope will be lovely concentric, and sequential circles of daffodils, tulips, and iris. Unfortunately, I planted them under a place where snow accumulates, so the ground is pretty mushy.
Fortunately, the mush only goes like half an inch down, because the ground is still frozen, so maybe my worries are “groundless.”
Next year, I’ll put leaves over the bed and cover in burlap.

mulching and winter protection are crucial for us, lb
both of us, you and i that is. did you know where i am is the coldest spot in the LP of MI, and i have a growing season as short as you do in maine? i just learned that recently, something to do with the center of the state not getting that warming “lake effect.”
anyway, people with longer, drier or warmer growing seasons can get sloppy, but i put in mondo time at the end of the season last year with protective mulching. and it paid off, i can tell that a lot of my from-seed cultivars are going to come back strong this year.
bulbs are pretty hardy tho. i bet the moisture won’t kill em. seriously, i know from excess moisture on this property (inside joke) and i’m amazed at how often the previously-underwater plants have come back.
straw is also a good mulch, and easier to move around than leaves. you’ve got a smallish plot, so likely you can afford to use straw, which can be used again the next season as a moisture-retention weed-barrier mulch over plants and seedlings once they go in/come up.
