Go go go! My summer harvest is pretty much gone thanks to a combination of great heat and groundhogs. I’ll still get some slicers and sweet 100’s, but damn you are killing it. I think you’ve earned the right to do a little dance

Oh wow. These are gorgeous. Got any good plans for them?

I think you’re on the nose, here. I laughed at the headline, but the more I read the more I see how fucked they are. Airlines. Industrial plants. Fucking governments. This one is big in a way that will likely get used as a case study.

No idea. I still wonder sometimes where the disconnect was, but I also just try to not let things like that get to me anymore. I’m having mixed success

At the time I was 22 and didn’t have a firm grasp on the idea I could tell someone being rude to go fuck themselves. It was just a bunch of old folks pining for the glory days of national pride and dysentery, but like, fuck. Snuff out a curious light like that.

I went to a panel presentation on the early colonies around the Revolution once. When they took questions, I asked if there was any special logistical problems Virginia ran into after due to how large the territory was and man, they treated me like a fuckin idiot. I still think about that. It’s not, like, important or anything I just don’t have a therapist for this sort of shit

They’re actually just human portions of a hot dog for titans. You ever see one of those mother fuckers? You don’t carry a three foot hotdog as thick as your leg, you wield it.

Are you sure your friend isn’t just three beavers in a long coat?

Torx should be the default over Phillips for sure. Phillips is fine for shit like access panels or screw terminals. Slotted is useless for anything but the adjustment on pots and thermostats. Robertson is just a proto-torx. Everything else either exists to make someone money or is a bolt

That’s awesome! How many seed potatoes did you start with?

Ah, well. One dares to dream

Are you fucking kidding me? You’re gonna look me in the eye and tell me the sail flying above the poop deck is called a spanker?

The reference mouse is oversized

No one gives Tina Tumble credit for starting the whole upside-down-then-not movement

They’re colorful and they have a flavor!

Some of y’all out here thinking you looked cool in JNCOs, suckin’ on a pacifier attached to your Tamagotchi

He’s cute, sure, but that litter fucker is gonna do some excavating. I can see it in his eyes. His giant, adorable, puddle-of-love eyes

Bummer.

I’m gonna go with either spider mites or fungus/bacteria. Probably the latter like one of the leaf spots or possibly downy mildew, though it seems a bit deep into summer for downy. That last picture has some pinpoints of color on the leaf that look like they could be spider mite damage, but I’d still put the safe money on a leaf spot. This far along, you’d be able to easily find them if they’re there.

Get what you can from it all, maybe hit it with some neem once a week to see if that’ll slow down the decline, but I think that’s just gonna be cucurbit hospice.
