Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

One lie, alone, tears the fabric of reality.

Let’s delete this post and never speak of this again.

Come on, man.

Republicans: slavery is when you own me. freedom is when I own you.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

It’s not hopeless, and we’re not helpless.

It’s easy to sit in safety and prescribe what other people should be doing.

Accused of treason; bitches about the ratings. I am in awe.

The poor and middle-class pay taxes, the rich pay accountants, the wealthy pay politicians.

An unpunished coup is a training exercise.

Innocent people don’t delay justice.

We still have time to mess this up!

This must be what justice looks like, not vengeful, just peaceful exuberance.

Bad people in a position to do bad things will do bad things because they are bad people. End of story.

Since when do we limit our critiques to things we could do better ourselves?

The cruelty is the point; the law be damned.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

Pelosi: “He either is stupid, or he thinks the rest of us are.” Why not both?

Republicans do not pay their debts.

Polls are now a reliable indicator of what corporate Republicans want us to think.

You are either for trump or for democracy. Pick one.

This really is a full service blog.

Republican also-rans: four mules fighting over a turnip.

Speaker Mike Johnson is a vile traitor to the House and the Constitution.

marvel oct 15 Peas

From faithful garden correspondent Marvel:

Early Fall in the Wilammette Valley has been mild and wonderful. Clear, sunny skies, cool breezes, sparkling sun. We’ve eaten the last of our vine-ripened tomatoes, juiced & ‘sauced all our apples and dug up all the potatoes.

marvel oct 15 Broccoli

Most recently, we’ve been filling up on a robust bunch of veggies from the Fall garden, plucking side-shoots and mature leaves from the broccoli and the latest generation of lettuce.

marvel oct 15 Lettuce

The cabbages are ’bout ready to split so we’ve been chopping them up and trying new saute recipes. Next week I’ll start harvesting the purple cabbage — I’ve got a sweet ‘n sour soup in mind. Lots of it.

marvel oct 15 Cabbage

The orange caulifower are just starting to peek out of their protective jungle and I hope to start plucking a few within the next couple of weeks. We like to chop ’em up, toss them with some olive oil and salt & pepper, then roast (450) the living daylights out of them ’til they’re all crispy and brown around the edges.

marvel oct 15 Cauliflower

The greenhouse peppers (mostly sweet, a few hot) have been appearing at a slow but steady pace for a few months now. We’ve dried some hot ones and frozen the sweeties and hope to see several more mature before everything slows way down for the Winter.

marvel oct 15 Peppers

Finally, a late-season crop of shelling peas [top photo] is starting to look promising. We lost the lot of ’em during a brief and nasty hot spell at the beginning of Summer. I’ve got the butter and mint lined up and ready for the first few pods to plump up — we’re READY!

What’s going on in your gardens this week?

    What beautiful pix to wake up to! I am on day 7 of a detox cleanse, and am off to my local food coop to stock up on more healthy veggies, legumes, fish and nuts.

    Just gorgeous! Your pictures are wonderful and so is your garden. We are just a few miles east of Seattle but our weather is very different from yours.
    Our garden looks a bit like hell right now because it’s starting to shut down. We can still find nice tomatoes and a cucumber now and then, as well as a zucchini or two, but most of our garden is over. We are clearing the beds, and I know I should be replanting with peas, spinach, carrots, etc. I just haven’t gotten started because we have some critters who are raiding the garden, and while there is plenty for them and us and the neighbors, the damage they leave is disheartening. We had beautiful little cabbages that are being eaten by something, shrews?, meadow voles? The raccoons and the squirrels are getting quite a few of the apples, but they’ve been pretty decent about leaving the better ones alone and eating the unripe ones that fell off the tree too early.
    I think I’m a little disheartened by the mess, and ready to let it all sleep until spring.

    There are some nice pumpkins still lurking in the future rose garden. almost forgot them.

    The harvest is winding down here in Michiana, my last tomato plants were knocked over by a critter with a taste for green tomatoes and the farmers are selling the last of their produce and starting to harvest the corn and soybeans. My exchange daughters are dazzled by the fall colors on the maples though we’re far from peak color, and since I love leaf peeping it’s fun to have companions who are seeing it live for the first time.

    OT, but I am trying to set up my etsy shop for the holiday season and need some feedback, which would you prefer: lower item prices or free shipping when you buy online?

    We’re just moving into our warm season. Expecting 33 degrees tomorrow. The garden is dry and getting drier, El Nino is kicking in.

    Not that there are many followers here, but the Rugby League Grand Final just finished in Sydney. 17-16 Townsville Cowboys over Brisbane Broncos in overtime. Good game.

    By the way this is a different sport to Rugby Union.

    After you forced hiatus Anne, it is nice to have garden threads again and as always Marvel, I hate you and your perfect garden. ;-)

    In addition to the Brussels sprouts, I only planted various lettuces and spinach for the Fall. Everything else is either done (tomatoes, beans) or finishing up (peppers, eggplants).

    I dug up my potatoes 2 weeks ago and was surprised at how well I did with the Yukons, Fingerlings, Red Nortons, All Reds, and Blues. Between the rust and the lack of mulch I was not expecting much. My sweet potatoes fared much better, although for the 2nd year in a row the Porto Ricos were a mess: Black from the soil (on the outside-just unappetizing), split to all get out, and better than half were chewed up by critters. The Vardemon were head and shoulders better: Good color, very little splitting, not much critter damage, nicely sized and just the right amount of sweetness with a good rich flavor. The PRs just aren’t working here and next year I’ll try a different variety in their stead, but the Vs are here to stay.

    I’ve got a full week ahead of me, not least of which is picking up a load of manure for the garlic bed. Got to get them planted next week.

    What a beautiful garden and what great photos.

    It’s finally getting to the dry season in South Florida. This morning for the first time since May it’s cooler outside the house than in it, and yesterday when I did some mild yard work (hosing down the patio, checking on the orchids), I didn’t break out in a sweat before getting to the hose coil.

  12. 12.

    satby

    @Mustang Bobby: Define cooler ;)
    The weather here has been in the 60s and last two days 50s with wind, and my girls are freezing. I don’t turn my heat on until temps make the house colder than 63, so they’re learning to layer. Going to warm back up again this week, but after that I’m probably going to crack and turn the heat on for them. And keep it warmer than my usual temp in the house. A little bit anyway… I still have to live here and past 68 I feel stifled.

  14. 14.

    p.a.

    I have one late blooming hot cherry pepper plant with fruits swelling so fast I think it can read the calendar. Doubt they’ll redden, but most will still be harvestable within the next week, week + 1/2. It’s fun that each fruit is unpredictable; some have all their heat in the seeds and glands, some in the flesh too.

    None of them knew what s’mores were.

    And now that I think of it, none of the folks I’m currently working with were born here either. Hmmmm…maybe I should introduce them to this Great American Tradition.

    That’s a beautiful cauliflower.

    Thanks for the reminder than I need to throw some snow pea (seeds) in the dirt. This year I discovered the joys of eating the greens. Like, duh, how come I never thought of that before?

    It got cold quickly here (from mid 80s to low 50s in about a day) and I doubt it is going to get hot (above the low 80s) here again until next summer.

    The only other thing of note is that the pumpkin vines produced a grand total of 4 pumpkins (frowny face) and some sort of nasty stem-boring beast has gotten at them so Mr. S can carve those.

    p.s. Lesson learned this summer: Do not grow squash within 30 miles of a pumpkin vine unless you want some freaky-deaky looking squash.

    I’ve got three buckets going in my house to contain leaks that I didn’t know I had. I predict roofers are going to be very busy in the Charleston area. We’ve got about 8 inches of water in the backyard, a sewage leak in the neighborhood, and there’s a huge puddle down the block that my daughter’s car floated through when she came home from work this morning. It looks like a good day to stay home and watch movies (or read if the power goes out again).

    Beautiful garden pics. I am jealous to the max. I also enjoyed the Hillary video.

    Today is my 72nd birthday. I am mentally mapping out the things that are really important for me to accomplish in the years remaining to me – help raise my 6 week old granddaughter, plant and care for a successful vegie garden and some day have some chickens. I used to have an aviary and bred cockatiels and gouldian finches. They are all gone and I have downsized. Now I would like to try chickens. Oh, and I would also like to learn how to can fruits and vegies.

    Great pix! We don’t know how the garden is other than badly overgrown. In watching the wipe out of the dawgs on the tube from Laguna we know that it poured most of the day. I don,t have a card reader but, when we get home, I have some great pic of succulents grown in the planters along the strand in Manhattan Beach. There are all these swanky houses built right on the walkway and people have a small stripe of land where they grow stuff.

    “Donald Trump was right,” the two men said, according to [Boston] police, as they beat the [homeless] man with a metal pipe and then urinated on him. “All these illegals need to be deported.”

    Trump tweeted on Friday that the incident was “terrible.” “We need energy and passion, but we must treat each other with respect,” Trump said.

    “Trump said.”

    Meanwhile:

    For the most part, you can’t respect people because most people aren’t worthy of respect.

    Trump said this, too — of course.

    Beautiful garden, Marvel!

    My gardens & yard are a messy disaster. Last year, despite pain, I was able to get a fair amount done. This year the pain was so bad I managed next to nothing and finally took myself to the doctor and physical therapy. Welp, wasn’t just piriformis syndrome … also severe arthritis in my left hip, no cartilage left in the joint. I had a left hip replacement mid-August and oh my goodness! So nice to walk without pain! So I am already scheming about seedlings, veggies, native shrubs, habitat.

    The rise of anti-establishment candidates and Marco Rubio – and the re-emergence of Jeb Bush – have stalled Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s momentum in New Hampshire, a new NBC News/Wall Street Journal/Marist poll shows.
    Kasich, who a month ago sat in second place, behind real estate mogul Donald Trump, does not rank among the Republican presidential field’s top 5 this time

    I’m still not seeing how having so many candidates helps Republicans. I think primaries are (generally) good in terms of Party politics and I still don’t see how this many candidates helps. With as nutty as their base is, it’s just chaos and there could be real repercussions when it all shakes out because some of these people who might be competitive in a general will not be able to stick around while 10 people who won’t be competitive do a vanity/grifter tour. It sure didn’t help Romney when Santorum and Huckabee and Gingrich grifted for 6 months in 2012. I don’t even know what happened to Michele Bachmann and she sucked up a lot of air in 2012. Was that a great investment for the GOP? I don’t think so.

    David Griffiths’s Revolutions in 20th Century Physics is pretty good and it is a slim volume.

    Excellent choice for a non-expert: tested by having been taught to undergraduates for years; certainly more up-to-date (2012) than the Russell (1925); and by way of math it demands little more than arithmetic and algebra.

    I’d still (also) recommend the Russell for how well it’s written, though — plus it focuses on Einstein.

    Also, Feynman Lectures, although that can get too technical for a lay person.

    Yes, although he wrote less technical expositions as well.

    Or a copy of Einstein’s works in translation.

    Zur Elektrodynamik bewegter Körper, for example, was surely a masterpiece, but may not be accessible to everyone, even in translation.

    @Baud:

    Well, he’s at 11% and he was once the frontrunner so comeback kid, I guess. 11% is up from 5%.

    New Hampshire is Kasich’s whole deal. If he doesn’t do well there he has no reason to keep going unless Bush really crashes, because he’s identical to Bush although slightly better at campaigning, but even that’s in comparison since in real life Kasich is weirdly inarticulate- he seems to have a small vocabulary or something. He often sounds as if can’t call up what should be an ordinary, adult range of words. I’m not even talking about soaring rhetoric. I mean nouns.

    @Riley’s Enabler: Thanks! Yes, getting ready to repost the cranberry from last Christmas and added a strong coffee one since it was a huge hit at the farmer’s market. Going to do a non-soy oil green tea and maybe a chocolate mint for Christmas as well. I’m hoping Mazedancer got her non-soy soap and lets me know how she likes it.

    @WereBear: Me too! The sugar maples are coming through for us, some of the other trees look not so good. I can never remember if color is better in normal, rainy or drought years. It’s not looking promising here, but then they have nothing to compare it to so it’s amazing to them.

    @satby: Thanks! One of many wonderful things about all the prairie natives I’ve planted was that they looked amazing with no input from me this year. The number and variety of pollinators that showed up was astounding, and lured in birds that don’t usually frequent my yard.
