Come, Herr Froschschenkel, we shall be late.

I use the lemongrass a lot in Thai cooking! It’s also a delicious herbal tea.

When I plant live herbs from the store, I typically remove any dirt and separate the plants as much as possible before I replant them. With the live basil and rosemary at least, they really pack them in there! I usually separate out all the individual plants(the easy ones at least), being careful with the roots, give them a rinse, and plant them in a new (small) pot with a clean soil mix. They stay inside for a couple days to get over the shock, on a sunny window sill or under a grow light. Then, just like a transplant, you have to weather them a bit on a mild day before you put them outside permanently. They are often grown in hydroponic environments, and the sun is a deadly lazer.
I’ve got a dozen basil plants hanging out in my greenhouse right now that were all in the same pot from the store. Just planted them out in the garden all summer, and schlepped them right into new pots yesterday.

You can also propagate a lot of store bought vegetables, especially if you have rooting powder. You usually shave off a very thin slice from the bottom to get a fresh surface, dunk it in the rooting powder, and set it in water shallow enough to let the crown hit the top. Change the water every couple days and eventually you’ll get roots and you can plant the vegetable in the garden after a bit. This works with:

• Celery - it’s finicky, results may vary. It may just bolt. Mine didn’t this year! But from seed is easier.
• Lemongrass
• Lettuce - leaving the innermost leaves intact vastly improves the speed of growth.
• green onions - amazing, no notes
• ginger - I don’t do this cause it’d be a huge pain here. It makes a nice houseplant I hear?
• parsley (why tho)
• sage
• kale leaves - same deal, take the kale leaf, trim a tiny bit off the bottom, and dunk it in rooting powder.

and of course you can plant garlic and potatoes but I get fancier stuff from the local garden center (Chesnok Red my beloved)

De-presso is what I drink in the evenings after too much ex-presso

Fair on lichen, which are just weird , and moss be plants

See, it’s a good question! I looked it up, but didn’t find a firm answer. As far as I could figure, they:

• eventually freeze, crack open, and thaw
• get stepped on by a heavy animal (they are eaten by ducks & beavers)
• clunking around the bottom of a river/pond, letting the sand wear it down.

All conjecture, but I don’t know!

I mean, moving the whole solar system just makes sense at a certain level of energy expenditure - if you are already generating enough power to do interstellar travel, might as well take the whole house with you. Sucks if you live here and don’t like the new travel direction of the system though, I guess. Find a new solar system to live in at that point?

Homestar: Ooh it’s dark and damp in this cave. It’s kind of boring contemplating all these shadows!

A scary shadow looms over the cave wall, and Homestar gasps, but it just resolves to a distorted shadow of Strong Bad.

Strong Bad: Hey Homestar! Have you discovered Plato’s deep mysteries of philosophy for youself yet?

Homestar: No…Ooooh, A DIAMOND~

Strong Bad: Oh well, too bad keep try - did you say A DIAMOND?

One by one, the free gardens of Pan-Gaea fell to the power of the Grapefruit, but there were some who resisted. A last alliance of citrus and citron marched against the armies of Florida, and on the very swamps of Ever Glade, they fought for the freedom of Pan-Gaea. Victory was near, but the power of the furanco courmarin could not be undone. It was in this moment, when all hope had faded, that Tangelo, son of the king, took up his father’s rootstock.

I checked it out! I’ll probably hop in intermittently as the crafting urge strikes.
Thanks for putting it up!

I like the composition on the second photo!

Lower right corner, beneath the blurry standing street sign there looks to be a modicum of pavement :D

I liked it! I enjoyed the cross-section of the crowd and assumed that was the focus.

I can’t accept any bat identification guide that doesn’t specify hurgling

The art of diplomacy is making em love you while you knock their punch out.

If you like bird art, let me drop a mention of The Bird Museum. It’s a free game (well, walking experience) that features very good and very bad artwork of birds. There’s a random selection of art everytime you reload it. It’s great!
