Beating Bitter #Cucumbers. Why they go bitter, how to avoid it, and why I skip a season and grow a wonderful Knockoff.
Hello #gardenersofmastodon especially #newgardeners, ever wonder when you should worry about your wilting plants? or why some plants thrive in the heat and some put their lives on hold, Listen to the new episode of the Tea Jay's #Garden #podcast https://www.buzzsprout.com/501553/4667327

These are teperary #beans, grown in the southwest long before european contact. They have long taproots making them a perfect match when planted in the wet season of an otherwise dry climate. #Indigenous communities in AZ depended on them the same way CAs indigenous peoples depended on acorns and fish runs. #Garden #gardenersofmastodon

This is the last I’ll bug y’all about it I promise!
lovecraft, public domain, culture
I find it interesting that the Cthulhu Mythos is pretty much the closest we have to a shared culture in gaming and literature. it's one of the few things that hasn't been overrun by corporate interests and (let's be honest) Disney.
I mean, yes, HP Lovecraft was a racist, full-stop. And some of his creatures reflect that racism. I get that completely. But it's telling that a mythos from the 1910s-1920s is what we get to call our own.
