well this year we happen to do raised beds and bought a raised bed mix. in prior years my tomatoes and such have done great. and the corn grows nicely, just tastes bad.
I did carrots in a raised bed, they tasted amazing, but looked like the [penis] pics NYY sends me all the time, short and stubby
You still have to feed the plants even with potting mix. Also if it's potting mix is packed too tight they might not be getting enough air or drowning on too much water. Buy peaches and cream corn. You're welcome. My wife's family was big into silver queen. It's about the same as eating cardboard.
you know the 13 colonies were predominantly white, right? and rebeled? you are reading into it what you expect- what you WANT. many environmental groups are quite prescriptive, preachy, and judgy while not being of the same make-up of some of the communities they go into. you desperately want the furthest extremes. you're thirsty for that slight, aren't you?
Sorry if you talk about people of color and colonialism people are going to assume you are talking about racism
And this is exactly why these words are stupid to use. They are loaded. Just don't use them. You will be better off. You instantly put people on the defensive if you use the word "racist" or "colonialism" or anything that implies guilt due to the fact you were born white. You won't win any battles that way, and instead you get Trump in the White House.
Who is she trying to impress by use of the word "colonial" in this context? I may get it, you may get it, a few others may get it but it seems to be an attempt to be intellectually cute, trying to use "cauliflower" and "colonial" in her example. I assume some will spend hours discussing her subtle and witty use of the English language, while others will bemoan being equated with cauliflower.
she didn't use "racist," it has been drizzled on top by others. I mean, whoa. "anything that implies guilt due to the fact you were born white?" Colonial Williamsburg better rethink their marketing! Colonial, colony, etc has many connotations, I don't know of any that gives me feelings of guilt. The Colonial Fleet better watch out, the cylons have nothing on spontaneous white guilt.
Then why talk about people of color when talking about colonialism? You aren’t being intellectually honest here
I never would have imagined. I often make spontaneous analogies or illustrations when speaking. I guess we have to all be vigilant of words like cauliflower and colonialism, lest the cultural kin of a cauliflower-colored colonist crumple and cry at the cruel contempt created by conversations about community cultivation. what a [uck fay]ing joke. people are so stupid to fall for this kind of sloppy low effort smear. there's nothing to this.
Colonial is left wing jargon for racist these days. It just is. AOC knows this or is as dumb as some people say. She's not that dumb, she said a word to trigger a response. It's working. It may not be working as intended, but it's working. That, or folks on the left calling things they don't like racist is as widespread as some on the right have posited.
she's talking about the people who live in the bronx that might find yucca to be a more familiar food crop than cauliflower, while talking about community gardening in a majority not white place. you're being a tool of propaganda. the cauliflower could have been broccoli or turnips or whatever. let people plant yucca if they want. [uck fay]. who was she calling racist in this situation according to you? environmentalists? thanks for sticking up for community garden environmentalists, I guess.
