Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

The current Supreme Court is a rogue court. Very dangerous.

You come for women, you’re gonna get your ass kicked.

Everyone is in a bubble, but some bubbles model reality far better than others!

You’re just a puppy masquerading as an old coot.

Republicans in disarray!

Jesus, Mary, & Joseph how is that election even close?

I didn’t have alien invasion on my 2023 BINGO card.

Narcissists are always shocked to discover other people have agency.

We are aware of all internet traditions.

The revolution will be supervised.

Republicans choose power over democracy, every day.

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

Come on, man.

He really is that stupid.

When someone says they “love freedom”, rest assured they don’t mean yours.

And we’re all out of bubblegum.

Do not shrug your shoulders and accept the normalization of untruths.

Don’t expect peaches from an apple tree.

… riddled with inexplicable and elementary errors of law and fact

I’m sure you banged some questionable people yourself. We’re allowed to grow past that.

Shallow, uninformed, and lacking identity

Reality always lies in wait for … Democrats.

“In the future, this lab will be a museum. don’t touch it.”

From indefatigable contributor (and travelling fisherman) Raven:

These are pictures from our garden and yard. I’m sure the commenters will enjoy identifying the various flowers.

We bought the butterfly at the beach a couple of years back and, if these get posted that’s where we’ll be!



***********
The roses are pretty obvious, I’m pretty sure the second photo is cosmos, and the last one is definitely a snapdragon. But some of the others…

Got a box from Bluestone Perennials yesterday, but not in time to open it. Murphy the Rain God willing, there will be enough not-raining-too-hard time today for me to unpack & examine everything, even if I can’t transplant them all.

What’s going on in your garden (planning) this week?

    I would go with a peony for the first,
    2nd, a type of poppy?
    3, 4 (?), 6, roses
    7 ??????????????
    8, 9, roses again,
    10, ???
    11, snap dragon.

    Was gonna say I was pretty sure 2 was not a cosmos because all the cosmos I’ve ever seen/grown have 8 distinct petals and that has only 5, but google says that Cosmos bipinnatus have only 5 petals soooo…

    That weird 3-story flower looks like it’s a member of the sunflower family. Not Googling before my first coffee however.
    I like morning glory but it does get invasive. I got rid of most of my invasive ivy though I will be watching for new growth for a couple of years I’m sure, but now I have to tackle some out of control sweet autumn clematis because it’s been allowed to cover the back fence and now wants to smother everything in its path.

    I was dreading having to mow today because the grass is crazy high after all the rain, then last night the guy who mows the vacant lots for the city texted me to ask if I want him to do my lawn today with his rider mower. Hell, yeah! So now I can concentrate on putting out my foot high tomato seedlings and planting the rest of the delivered too early dahlia tubers. I’ve clearly lost three roses to winter, and have three replacements, so we’ll see how those take, but I’m over replacing any more that die.
    And when debbie comes on: yes, I got that peach tree planted before our long spell of rain. So I hope it’s off to a good start.

    @OzarkHillbilly: I liked it the first year I was here and left it alone, but just like the ivy, it sends runners everywhere and if ignored it starts invading well away from where it’s wanted. Plus, it’s a haven for poison ivy lurking within. I won’t get rid of it on the outside of the fence, just inside my yard.

    Went out about three days ago and weeded on the north side of the lot. Dug out most of the burdock. Rescued the magnolia from the wild grape. Now I am covered with poison ivy rash. The idiot who used to own the house next door weed whacked his poison ivy at least five years ago and I am still having problems. That stuff lasts forever. Grrrr.

    Here in the Adirondacks, there is dutchmen’s breeches in bloom scattered all through the woods. Trout Lily carpets the ground, with the very occasional red trillium just opening. The deer just obliterate the trillium, so there isn’t much left. And if you are in on the secret, there is ramps just coming up.

    Gardening related, coming to a weather forecast near you:

    5G signal could jam satellites that help with weather forecasting

    The crisis facing the world’s meteorologists stems from the fact that the radio frequencies the new 5G networks will use could contaminate critical Earth observations made by weather satellites.

    Instruments on board the satellites peer down into the atmosphere and study variables such as water vapour, rain, snow, cloud cover and ice content – all crucial factors that influence our weather.

    One example is the 23.8 gigahertz (GHz) frequency. Water vapour emits a faint signal at this specific natural wavelength, and this data is monitored and measured by weather satellites. Forecasters then use this information to work out how a storm or weather system is likely to develop.

    “Such data is critical to our ability to make forecasts,” said Niels Bormann, also of the Reading weather centre. “They are a unique natural resource, and if we lose this capability, weather forecasts will get significantly worse.”
    ……………………….
    “We would not be able to tell the difference and so would have to discard that data,” added Bormann. “That would compromise our ability to make accurate forecasts.”
    ……………………………………..
    The urgency of the problem is underlined by the fact that US Federal Communications Commission and similar agencies in other countries have already started to auction off frequencies close to the 23.8 GHz frequency to future 5G network providers. In addition, other bands that are used to probe our weather include the 36-37 GHz band, which is used to study rain and snow; the 50 GHz band, which is used to measure atmospheric temperature; and the 86-92 Ghz band, which helps to analyse cloud and ice.

    All these contain sections of waveband that are being auctioned off in the US.

    Houseplant question: I have two jade plants that I want to replant together in a larger pot. Every youtube video I’ve watched has the person removing most of the old potting soil rather than just putting the whole thing as is into the new pot. Removing the potting soil is worrisome; I’m afraid I’ll damage an important root. I’ve only had these plants for a few weeks; is there any reason I can’t go the easy route?

  58. 58.

    satby

    May 5, 2019 at 9:09 am

    @debbie: they’re usually just refreshing worn out soil and unbundling the roots, but I think if it’s two smaller ones into a bigger pot you’ll be fine. I’d just loosen the soil around the roots to encourage them to spread out a bit.

    @debbie: Repotting is an opportunity to get rid of nutrient depleted soil and to substitute new. But if you have only had these plants for a couple of weeks — and they were recently purchased, going the easy route is not a problem. Just add new soil underneath and around the edges if you are going to a bigger pot. That should be fine ?

    That yellow flower is Phlomis Russeliana, and it does quite well in a xeric garden; a friend’s daughter called mine a “Dr Suess plant” because of the candelabra effect. The seed heads are interesting too so I leave them until fall cleanup.

    That second one is an oneothera, a showy evenin g primrose. It’s also xeric but the honest garden catalogs admit it is rampant and will over run and kill other similar sized plants. Plants like that have theirs uses in tough areas, but be careful. The yellow flowered showy evening primrose s are real show stoppers in xeric gardens a d don’t spread by runners like the pale pink one does.

    Anyone who subscribes to Britbox on their Roku can watch Monty Don’s Gardeners World series, 2018 and 2019 is currently in process. I drool over what can be grown in Britain while watching this show. It’s in a “this week in the garden” format; his 2 acres are amazing and the visits to garden shows and other gardens are wonderful. He has a series on Netflix helping people design extremely small spaces that’s great too. I’m gravitating towards the idea of smaller spaces designed extremely well as my long term plan.

    If your up for it, I have found dabbing (or dousing) poison ivy with diluted regular household ammonia will clear it up in about 2 days.
    Run HOT water on the area, use cotton ball or washcloth to apply ammonia.

    I concur with all who said oenothera (showy primrose) for the second plant, and would add it has another common name, winecups. Translation of the Greek (ish) scientific name, I think. Isn’t it native? Or are just the yellow ones native?

    The phlomis is sometimes called Jerusalem sage, I believe, and not often seen in this country, tho common in British gardens. A fancy plant!

    I have a flat of perennials (Russian sage, red autumn sage, white echinacea, dwarf blanket flowers, Queen Vic lobelia, white daylilies in gallons) waiting for the ground to dry out so I can plant them in a new bed out front. There’s nothing but a couple of stupid huge hollies there now and I’ve been putting off planting flowers because I can’t get them out of here. I just decided they will all have to live there together. Hopefully those behemoths standing behind them won’t completely overshadow the flowers even once they’re grown.

    @Jeffery: We live in the dry west, CO to be exact and not much that works in Britain has a chance here between the heat, the cold and the dryness plus the annual hail roulette. I was surprised to see that Phlomis in one of his gardens so it’s apparently adaptable and the xeric catalogs usually have it. Even though Monty’s gardens are filled with things we can’t grow here, I love watching any of his shows and so does my completely non-gardening husband, a real surprise.

    StringOnAStick

    May 5, 2019 at 10:54 am

    @Betsy: Some of the yellow showy evening primrose are native, and there is a low growing white one from a rosette of leaves that is native to desert areas in CO and UT. Another common name for them is Missouri Primrose. There’s been some landscape breeding projects that have created versions with very fine foliage, red strips on the leaves and buds, etc, they are very common in xeric gardens h here. What we call winecups around here is callirhoe involcrata, prairie winecups. Looks like a vine but isn ‘t.

    @Jeffery: We live in a climate nothing like yours or Monty’s;, hot, dry, cold, and annual hail roulette; I still love watching his various shows though. I was shocked to see that Phlomis in a British garden since I only know it as a xeric plant that is ok with part shade here. His Small Spaces show was a real eye opener at what beauty can be created in the tiniest of gardens; loved it.

    @StringOnAStick: Thanks for the pointer. It sounds like ideal inspiration for our little 1/4 acre of weeds and stuff.

    I put his book in my Big River cart.

    Cheers,
    Scott.

    @satby:

    And the odious evangelicals she debated with will probably claim that it was a divine punishment for her apostasy.

    Yes, the theocratic patriarchal evangelicals are not just odious, they are despicable monsters, using fake xtian religion to facilitate their own power and monetary fortunes at the expense of gullible needy fools.

    I’ve planted the nepeta (catmint) but still have some agastache to pot. And I’m determined to get mint into my half-barrel this year.

    My other perennials are up and growing. I’m finally ready to get rid of the ancient, decrepit roses that came with this house when we moved in 20 years ago to plant out my yarrows and helianthus.

    This yard had an area that had clearly been a veggie garden. I tilled it for planting our first spring here. Turned out it was full of bindweed, and I’ve regretted that move ever since.

    I’ve seen the second one (Oenothera) sold as “Mexican primrose” here in California, and the seventh one, the yellow Jerusalem sage, is common in nurseries here. I happened to be visiting Crete (Greece, not NY) recently, and it grows wild and profusely there.

    The first photo looks like a rose with the foliage of Macleyea cordata, a few Morning Glory leaves, and something else.

    Oenothera and Phlomis agree. The Oenothera doesn’t look like the invasive species but keep an eye on it.
