  • Hey thanks for making the post.

    I think I’m 10a in USDA, I had a pretty good spring from the Broccoli, Garlic, Spinach, Celery, and Potatoes I put in through the winter. I did miss the harvest on my last few Celery due to a rapid entry of summer. I did get about 5 packets of seed from them though and it made the garden smell delightful.

    I replanted the smaller potatoes and have gotten blooms on all of them so I’m going to try and get some seeds from the potato berries, I’m expecting the actual tubers to be small though.

    I have been trying to do a staggered plant of bush green beans and its been pretty successful so far, the cilantro though I’ve messed up the timing and will likely have a couple weeks without it.

    My biggest learning lesson was Tomatoes, I sprouted way too many seeds from the ones I saved last season and ended up with over 100 plants. I planted them way too dense and sadly all the larger tomatoes have gotteen bloom rot from what I suspect to be root damage. The cherry and grape tomatoes are doing great!

    The pepper plants I overwintered in large containers are producing already while the ones I sprouted from last year’s seeds will be producing in a couple weeks, I collected all the seeds in a “spicy pepper” sachel so I have no idea what ones have sprouted, this year I will label each pepper so I don’t end up with 20 ghost peppers.

    I tried to do some arugula which did not sprout but when i realized it wasn’t going i put some radish and carrot in the space which is doing well. In another area I have placed some pumpkin which is starting to grow but won’t produce until autumn.

    I have some fruit and nut trees but they were very unhealthy when i started so i have been trying to get them back to health which i think will get results next year.


  • Its kinda cringe but maybe the early anarchist movements/communes in the u.s pulled from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_in_the_United_States

    Historian Wendy McElroy reports that American individualist anarchism received an important influence of three European thinkers.

    William Godwin’s anarchism which "exerted an ideological influence on some of this, but more so the socialism of Robert Owen and Charles Fourier.

    After success of his British venture, Owen himself established a cooperative community within the United States at New Harmony, Indiana during 1825. One member of this commune was Josiah Warren, considered to be the first individualist anarchist.

    The Peaceful Revolutionist, the four-page weekly paper Warren edited during 1833, was the first anarchist periodical published, an enterprise for which he built his own printing press, cast his own type and made his own printing plates.

    After New Harmony failed, Warren shifted his ideological loyalties from socialism to anarchism which anarchist Peter Sabatini described as “no great leap, given that Owen’s socialism had been predicated on Godwin’s anarchism”.

    The emergence and growth of anarchism in the United States in the 1820s and 1830s has a close parallel in the simultaneous emergence and growth of abolitionism as no one needed anarchy more than a slave

    Josiah Warren put his theories to the test by establishing an experimental “labor for labor store” called the Cincinnati Time Store, where trade was facilitated by notes backed by a promise to perform labor. The store proved successful and operated for three years after which it was closed so that Warren could pursue establishing colonies based on mutualism. These included Utopia and Modern Times.

    Henry David Thoreau was an important early influence in individualist anarchist thought in the United States and Europe. Thoreau was an American author, poet, naturalist, tax resister, development critic, surveyor, historian, philosopher and leading transcendentalist. Civil Disobedience is an essay by Thoreau that was first published in 1849.


























  • Awesome, sounds like maybe starting around 20:00 CET would be best for you then?

    I’m running Lancer on sundays so I would prefer something different, I know nothing about MLP so am not interested in Ponyfinder. I am interested in Monster of the Week and have BITD on the post list.

    I have used roll20 for a few years so I’m pretty comfortable with that but if everyone else wants to use foundry I have used it a few times.

    If you and REgon are up for it we just need to find one other person aubrey-happy
