Coleus amboinicus -> Plectranthus amboinicus and I'm back to having no coleus, I'll never forgive
He reportedly sent an email that read " [...] It's chalk not paint"
A police report that Cox shared with the news station alleged that officers were unable to determine whether his improvised crosswalk had been created with permanent paint

I've hung out with the Reel Big Fish and Streetlight Manifesto, and met Bruce Springsteen. Everybody was super down to earth and chill.
Once I was at a punk festival and chatting with a stranger about which upcoming sets we were excited for, and when this person was unfamiliar with a classic punk band I exclaimed "how can you not know Joan Jett and the Blackhearts?" only to hear that sentence repeated by someone behind me. It was Joan Jett, and I got to hang out on stage with their VIP group during their set.
Well, he won't get the silverware.
I've glued that to the ceiling
It's roughly fifteen minutes to the grocery in town, but thirty to the one with twice the size and selection. Certain items we prefer to pick up in bulk at a store that's forty minutes away, but that trip happens maybe twice a month
We've got the shoe factory from Jumanji (1995) and the school from the book The Tommyknockers.
Give em a good wash and use them as seed containers, whether for single plant species or for mixes
We got ours from a larger farm nearby a few years ago - they had purchased a soy based fertilizer and the distributor didn't have any return/recycle incentives so the farmer was selling them on the cheap. I think we found the guy through the farm & garden craigslist section but I can't really speak to how reliable that is anymore. If you've got a winter farmers market around you it might be worth asking around there (I'm loathe to suggest fb marketplace but if you're already there that might be convenient as well)
We have solar panels and a backup battery for when the grid goes down. Our panels generate more than we generally use (we overbuilt on purpose) but we could run almost indefinitely as long as the panels are clear. There are two totes hooked up to a gutter on the back of our garage which provide 550 gallons of water storage that we use to water gardens and top up our duck pond. The ducks and chickens do most of our insect maintenance in the gardens.
I'm working on additional shelving in our cellar in order to be able to store more of our canning from the gardens; most of the material is reclaimed pallet wood from a nearby business. We've also got two slightly damaged solar panels that I'd like to use to circulate the water in the duck pond - pump and lift to flow through some uphill garden space back down to the pond after it's been filtered by the plants - and to provide some power to the bird coop for water heaters and maybe a light source.
Those spare instruments on the walls aren't just for me, you know
We're having some trees removed soon (they're dying and leaning towards our house) so today I spent some time carefully relocating some volunteer lowbush blueberry plants from where the heavy machinery will be working.
What's growing on with you all?
Obligatory pedantry:
We would also accept "soil", since we're talking about the life in the mineral earth

There are something like twelve common names in english, it was introduced to me as "oregano brujo" (wizard's oregano). It's most strongly oregano in its aerosol phenols but when I've used it in meals (usually in a slow cooker) it's got notes of the thymol that come through.
