Damn, I’ve been struggling this week with whether I should leave my PhD program with a master’s or keep toughing it out, and this really hit home for me.

A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research

This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here’s what I’ve got:

-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more

-Plant beans/peas earlier

-Plant okra later

-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!

-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em

-Wouldn’t bother with celery again, probably

-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I’d do kohlrabi again too

-Planted too many types of lettuce

I’m rocking with the PWA for now but you better believe I’m signed up for that Boost release

Saving this to send to coworkers next time we have to go to a meeting that could have been an email

Midday after working outside and getting really dirty or sweaty, when it’s still bright enough outside that you don’t have to turn the lights on and the bathroom is only lit from the window, you’re already so hot from working that the water has to start out lukewarm, and also you have a shower beer. My favorite kind.

I thought it might be “is shrimps bugs?”

I think others are right that a lot of the issues you’re having are related to the size of the insurance you joined.

I spent all day Saturday weeding my vegetable garden and adding some radishes, leeks, summer squash, and wax beans I grew from seed. This is my first year growing ground cherries, and they’re really taking off! They taste funky in a good way.

What sort of issues are you having? It’s been working pretty well for me using the PWA.
