Colin Purrington<p>I visited my garden yesterday and several wood stakes that I'd pounded into the ground were horizontal and in some cases several feet from their original positions. And two trellises were bent over 10° or so. I initially thought "vandalism" but it turns out the winds from yesterday's storm were clocked at 95-105 mph. Peas and fava beans took a hit from the hail, too. Took an hour to clean up. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>weather</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/delco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>delco</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/swarthmore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swarthmore</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/garden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>garden</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/wind" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>wind</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Eastern redbud (Cercis canadensis) doing its strange cauliflory thing. I planted three in my front yard and for the next several weeks people will stop in awe and ask what species it is. When possible, I try to have small potted seedlings on hand to give to them. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/trees" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>trees</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/swarthmore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swarthmore</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/redbud" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>redbud</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/fabaceae" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fabaceae</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/botany" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>botany</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cercis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cercis</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cauliflory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cauliflory</span></a></p>
Colin Purrington<p>Crazy amount of hail and lightning this morning. Sirens have been going off so I'm assuming power outages somewhere. Hoping my fava beans are OK.

Colin Purrington<p>At my community garden there are several dozen containers and objects that collect stagnant water. And because most people ignore their allotments for weeks at a time, or abandon them entirely, the sites are home to tens of thousands of mosquito larvae.

CelloMom On Cars<p>"Eight college buildings are connected into a geo-exchange loop that can provide heat and air-conditioning without energy from fossil fuels. The heart of the system is a remarkable, swoop-roofed dining hall constructed with a mass timber frame — a low-carbon alternative to the usual steel skeleton — and equipped with all electric appliances. With these two projects, <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Swarthmore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Swarthmore</span></a> has taken a giant step toward its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2035.

Colin Purrington<p>Found a perfect cat to adopt today only to discover that she'd been scooped up the day before after three months of waiting in a foster home. Sadness.

Colin Purrington<p>Is it ever possible to get a restaurant to stop oversalting? There are several small places near me that I generally love but that consistently add about 2-3x more salt than is necessary, often creating dishes that are inedible. I'm not a fan of public floggings on Yelp and such, so am wondering whether there is wording I might send to the chef, privately, to get them to scale back salinity. My guess is that they are all supertasters and don't know it, so they don't realize they are physiologically wired to use far too much salt. Any tips on how to proceed? <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/food" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>food</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/salt" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>salt</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/supertaster" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>supertaster</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/tongue" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tongue</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/taste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>taste</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/genetics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genetics</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/restaurant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>restaurant</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/dining" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dining</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/chef" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chef</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/cooking" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cooking</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/delco" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>delco</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/swarthmore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swarthmore</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/DelawareCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DelawareCounty</span></a></p>

Colin Purrington<p>Like many people, I foolishly planted my tomatoes last week, thinking that night temperatures wouldn't go below 50 °F. It was 45 last night, with more cold nights and rain in the forecast. Even though I covered them I suspect they'll be stunted for the season, plus have blossom end rot issues. <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/tomatoes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>tomatoes</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/allotment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>allotment</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/vegetable" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vegetable</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/gardening" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gardening</span></a> <a href="https://flipping.rocks/tags/swarthmore" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>swarthmore</span></a></p>
