This is a cleaned-up version of what Gunnery Sergeant Dan Daley, USMC (twice Medal of Honor recipient), said to his unit in WW I just before they “went over the top.”

Thanks. It was a fun bit of improvised astrophotography, and neither I nor the camera fell in the lake.

These are great.

Fun fact: Meghan Gray, the woman in the dark matter video, is the daughter of one of my mom’s friends/colleagues.

Less fun fact: YouTube’s comments are predictably creepy. :(

Me too. I just heard my first episode about an artist and mother (halifax as well). I think her name was something like Gwen K…something or other. She founded Spots Pots. I was in the car and couldn’t stop listening, so sat there with tears welling up especially when the son talked about his mother. I didn’t know they were all done about the deceased. I will try to tune in now.

The little banana plant should eventually fruit. Growing tomatoes and peppers though.

The plants are indoors, so I’m not really sure where the mites came from. We did transplant a couple already-grown plants that we got at the farmer’s market, so maybe from there? The downside of having them indoors is that there aren’t any mite predators around.

Are you growing indoor bananas?

Are your plants indoors or outdoors?

No sign of mites, though our garden is indoors. They apparently will do great mischief to dwarf banana plants, too.

Comment on Tilting at Bean Plants by judith scrmger

Hey, Ian. I’m very impressed. I was one of the ones to laugh at your little experiment but sadly my own row of beans has not even been planted despite the garden being tilled weeks ago. You shame me. I will finish the planting tomorrow. (did have two ripe strawberries earlier this week)
