Good point

I wish movie trailers wouldn't give away every character and so much other things that, by the time you go to the theater, you feel like you've already seen the movie. That said, a new clip revealed that Moss Man will at least make an appearance: I wish they hadn't revealed so much about what characters are in it, but I guess they have to build the hype. A lot of people are clamoring to know if Orko is in the movie and see him. Why? Let it be a surprise. One fan theory I've seen is that Orko is the one who tips Adam off to the location of the sword. Some even think he's in disguise as the girl in the toy shop.

Oh yeah I’ve seen them on everything from eating utensils to a Metro card. It’s all completely idiotic.

Ok I’ll start. Whats with these social media “influencers” doing their stupid videos holding lapel/ clip in mics like a regular microphone? Double the stupid… It’s meant to clip to your shirt somewhere inconspicuous and leave your hands free. For Gods sake, if you’re going to do this, JUST HOLD A REGULAR F—KING MICROPHONE!!!! You’ll still be stupid, but won’t look quite as stupid. Well, maybe.

The more full they are the better they hold their shape. And as you can see, they’re pretty versatile as far as location is concerned. If they work out well I may buy a couple more.

I got the potatoes in yesterday: I got about nine seed potaties in each, so actually I planted more in the bags than I would in the beds. We'll see how, or if, it affects the yield. The last back on the right there only has some dirt in it. I'm saving that one for carrots.

I vaguely recall seeing those last four on weekday afternoons ( WPIX maybe? ) when we lived in Elmira. I can kind of hear the Captain America theme still. Superfriends was on Saturday mornings on ABC if I remember correctly.

I picked up some soil to get the potatoes in the grow bags today and the weather decided against that. Sigh…

I was looking at mulch today but they dye it for “enhanced color.” Which means that shit is getting on your clothes and skin. No thanks.

I got things started yesterday by getting some Romaine lettuce in earlier than usual for a better yield before it gets too hot. I also pulled the landscape fabric off of what was the potato bed. I wanted to see how well it worked for keeping the weeds from growing since I harvest potatos earlier than the other stuff. It was a good experiement and as you can see, the soil is pretty weed free. The cardboard is a new experiment. I hate mowing between the beds so my plan is to lay down cardboard and then cover it with pine shavings for mulch. I chose cardboard over landscape fabric because it's natural and weeds wont grow through or on it like they will landscape fabric. The pavers are just there to hold the cardboard down for now. I hit the dirt with a cultivator thing I was given and the plan for the former potato bed is to plant strawberries. Soil is looking pretty good. I'm hopig to maybe get the potatoes in the garden bags this weekend. We'll see if the weather cooperates.

You planted FOUR POUNDS of seed there? Holy crap!

I absolutely love this!
