Only in the first year. Be patient and stubborn and after a few years you will have learned enough about the needs of your plants to grow veggies more reliably and consistently.
I still buy the ‘cheap crops’ - potatoes, carrots and onions because I’m still not growing enough of these. Everything else, including fresh aromatic herbs every day, comes out of my garden - at the moment it’s plenty of tomato and aubergine, cucumbers, courgette and green beans.

This is why I started using seed mixes. I throw a mix of different seeds on my garden beds. I get a diverse and more resilient plant community and can learn how to use the new climate change seasons to the best of my abilities. This is also the only way I manage growing carrots and beetroot that never wanted to grow when seeded separately.
Usual mixes contain carrot, beetroot, dill, coriander, parsley, turnip, radish, linseed, sunflower, maize, cherry tomato. Plants like non-cherry-tomato and cabbages I tend to plant when somewhat grown.
Disclaimer: can be problematic with some plants that want very specific seed depths, so use at your own discretion.

I must have gotten pale when some festival organizer handed me the end of a cable with a male plug. ‘Your electricity supply, here you go!’
Me: ‘… ???’
Organizer, still waving the cable end around: ‘Just use an adapter!’ (he barely managed to omit the ‘stupid woman’ in his answer …)

Instead of this, can we talk about how AirBnB removed regulations around tourist accommodation everywhere and now people can’t pay rent? Hotels were regulated by governments for a reason. Taxis were regulated by governments for a reason. We opened the gates for anarcho-capitalism and let criminal leeches run away with the profits. Time to kick these criminal organizations out!

I know the transhumância and the connected laws, but had no idea it was a way people found to mitigate the effects of war. Makes sense. Plan C for SHTF is to hit the road with the herd.

We piss and shit all over our own planet and people get upset over a barren wasteland in space? Okay, I’ll be mildly upset for a few minutes and then get back to worrying about the actual problems.

Definitely now with the forest fires.
- Comment on Is the world more volatile now or is it just the abundance of news? 3 weeks ago:
No, I mean that I believe that we might be not far from some really interruptive event. We are very dependent on our modern tech for record keeping. Not much is needed to interrupt that and send us into survival mode.
I sometimes like to believe (and I know that’s just speculation) that the dark ages had less upheaval than we now think, at least in the far corners of the former empire. No empire to hassle you, maybe you can just plant your fields in peace, right?

Climate crisis and capitalism refugees, water shortages, forest fires all are getting worse. I consider we are entering a new dark age. The US empire is collapsing, world order is re-shuffled, nobody really knows what’s coming next.
And also, it’s very easy to get stuck watching it happen live while one’s own actual situation might be okay. Good to switch it off sometimes and go walk under some trees and enjoy what is there to enjoy if you have the chance. All the more if it’s to end soon!

‘Dag’ sent me straight to the dictionary. Very accurate, 10/10 would be insulted again by this user! 👍
- Comment on Consider the following 4 weeks ago:
Going back in our very long human history there are probably more instances where a person held a rat like in the pic above than where a person was using a mouse like below. Therefore holding a rat is more natural. As a former owner of a pet rat, but also a modern computer user, my usage ratio of rat/mouse is probably something like 5/95 at this point while skewing towards the situation pictured below.

- Comment on What is a real trip on acid like? Is there any comparisons in movies? I took 3 tabs once and it just turned the world literally black white and gray. Did I miss something like the euphoria or whatever 4 weeks ago:
In one trip I ended up telepathically communicating with a genet cat (a small wild mammal, it was actually there and I didn’t hallucinate it) and then losing all concept of language (which was a little scary) till waking up the next morning. In another trip I synesthesically saw/listened to a Pink Floyd album. I like mushrooms more even though they made me believe I would die on a few trips. Both acid and mushrooms are fungus-based psychedelics so I would say they work similarly, but found a better learning effect with Psilocybe, and also prefer using plants and mushrooms instead of extracts and synthetic compounds. I don’t take them for euphoria and don’t take them often, last time was 3 or 4 years ago, before that I didn’t touch them for 15+ years. I find that the wisdom (or advice) I receive in a mushroom trip can be useful but has to be taken with a grain of salt, a bit like when a friend who is not entirely aware of your situation gives you advice.

Ah, I like this comparison - something I can relate to. I mostly listen to either European Pre-Renaissance or world music/folk jazz these days. What would that be in programming languages?

First day off the coffee, and sitting around confused and hungry, and now this bit of information. Well I guess I need to feed myself with real food now. Okay.
- Comment on When people die in wildfires, is it that the fire spread too fast for people to mobilise escape? Or more that people were delayed leaving? 5 weeks ago:
It can be both. Usually authorities try to evacuate people before the fire approaches too much, but sometimes wind comes up and spreads the fire faster. Some places are very difficult to access, with narrow curvy roads through flammable forest. Sometimes these roads don’t get closed down quickly enough and people get trapped. Mountainous terrain on fire gets chaotic easily.
May this be a fresh and moist summer, may the water stay around and keep us safe!
