I’ve just passed my third anniversary of having my first garden. On 6th Feb 2022 I got the keys to my #allotment plot. A family had just signed the lease for the left half the day before, and then I signed for the right half.

My original neighbours left last year so I’ve now taken on the full plot.

It looks like chaos but I’ve cleared 3 loads of rubbish to the tip with more to go, including a broken trampoline and an endless amount of degraded plastic. The left hand hedgerow is also very over grown with lots of brambles. Now that I’ve cleared most of the rubbish I can hack all the hedges back next week. The tarps are all mine, seemed the easiest way to wrangle the first patch to make into a bed.

Over today and yesterday I planted two pear trees (quince C dwarfing rootstock) at the front of my original right hand half, and made a chipping path and mini paved area leading up to and in front of my potting shed. #allotment

It’s a long story but I ended up with four pear trees rather than two so last month I also planted two trees further up on the left hand half of the plot too. I only paid for two trees so kind of a brucie bonus to end up with four (at first I had no idea where I was planting them all!) #allotment

Before I planted any trees I’d agreed with the committee that 4 diseased unproductive plum trees needed to come out, and that when I took them out I’d replace them with new trees. This was originally the plan for when I had the one half with just two trees. But now I have both sides I’ve dealt with the left half too.

Tbh it felt like I was committing a crime cutting trees down but it was obvious by how soft the wood was in places that they didn’t have long for this world anyhow #allotment

in reply to Lauren

I’ve been cutting the trunks of the trees into logs to make a log wall. And been attempting to make stakes out of coppiced hazel from the trees at the back to make surrounding supports for dead hedging where I can dump all the hawthorn hedge clippings next week.

In front of the dead hedge space there’s a big patch of mint in the ground with foxgloves and mullein, so I’ve bought some plug plants of extra native flowers and this will be left as a wildlife patch #allotment

The discovery of a sword found next to a skeleton in a cemetery in Kent, England, remains highly confidential. The location is being kept secret for security reasons.
The tomb in which it was found is part of a rich early medieval cemetery, dating back to the 5th-6th Centuries AD. A ring was found on the ancient sword, probably a symbol of union. The hilt, made of gold and silver, has an elaborate decorative motif, while the blade bears runic inscriptions, probably connected to symbols of power

Buff-headed Coucal

A large, long-tailed, thick-billed, uniquely patterned bird with dark blue wings, tail, and belly and creamy neck, chest, and head. Found in most habitats, most commonly in lowland forests. Often flushed from trackside vegetation. Otherwise inconspicuous, but regularly feeds on the ground. Unique within its range. Pairs give a back-and-forth β€œsnoring” duet, ”urrrrh-uh,” but individuals give a range of barking and coughing noises.

This little robot might deliver your Uber Eats order if you’re in Jersey City.

Avride’s fleet of sidewalk delivery robots has arrived in Jersey City, New Jersey, where they will begin ferrying Uber Eats orders starting this week. The bots have a range of 31 miles and can drive at up to 5mph, even through rain or snow.

They’ll only deliver at select restaurants in the area to start, including Jiangnan, Rumi Turkish Grill, and others. Avride has also launched its delivery robots in Dallas and Austin as part of its partnership with Uber.

@Emma Roth @theverge.space When they eventually start delivering to homes, how would those of us who are blind handle it? That is, how would we know where they are in order to take the food, or where they put it if they placed it somewhere? I'm assuming we would pay for it online. I've never used this service.

Sonnet 085 - LXXXV
My tongue-tied Muse in manners holds her still,
While comments of your praise richly compiled,
Reserve thy character with golden quill,
And precious phrase by all the Muses filed.
I think good thoughts, whilst others write good words,
And like unlettered clerk still cry 'Amen'
To every hymn that able spirit affords,
In polished form of well-refined pen.
Hearing you praised, I say ''tis so, 'tis true,'
And to the most of praise add something more;
But that is in my thought, whose love to you,
Though words come hindmost, holds his rank before.
Then others, for the breath of words respect,
Me for my dumb thoughts, speaking in effect.

@Impish4249 you're not listening to what I'm saying, you're just trying to tell me you're a good person when I'm talking about what your generation has done to mine and how I can never forgive you all for it.

I'm telling you I wish I was never born into your Boomer world, and you're just telling me about yourself and how you must look to others.

Me, me, me, me, me. me

And like your generation, you have to tell me off, you have to win the argument, you have to dominate.

Some do it with a bitter look,
