Dear Blues, I am writing a piece on the pros and cons of direct sowing in spring compared to sowing in pots in the greenhouse. Which method do you prefer and why? Do you have any tips?

Good morning! If, like me, you don't have a greenhouse...you could try this: higgledygarden.com/2023/02/17/s...

Good morning Bluesky, Here's some Nicotiana 'Lime Green' with Borage. I think they make a good couple. I hope you all have a good day as full of juicy positive stuff as it is possible to have. Peace. x

"I just hope Canada is proud. Cause every player in that room is proud to be a Canadian…Canada needed a win. The players beared that on their shoulders & took it seriously. This one was different. This wasn't a win for themselves. This was a win for 40+ million people...” - Coach Jon Cooper 🇨🇦

When even the New York Post has to publish this, you know you fucked up.

Exactly

When FAA employees are telling us it’s not safe to fly, we should probably listen.

Timothy Snyder is an expert of modern authoritarianism.

The CDC has an ultra-competitive 2-year program to train "the best of the best" to lead public health labs. Most of the current class were terminated over the weekend. www.science.org/content/arti... (by @meredithwadman.bsky.social)

I’m George Takei and I approve of this message.

This story can't be repeated enough. The GOP is lined up behind the guy who is so incompetent that his quasi-gov't agency did this. They're confirming his highly questionable nominees & hurting the American people. And "accidentally"? It was stupidity, not accident. www.nbcnews.com/politics/dog...

An important point to keep in mind.

We need Pete Buttigieg as a clear messenger, more than ever.

This. Also. @aoc.bsky.social @ericswalwell.bsky.social et al , can you do what ever you guys do in the House to let Musk, Trump and everyone know that the UCFE, which funds unemployment benefits , is in the Dept of Labor. If these funds are cut, the cost will fall on the states.

I would do it exclusively in red areas. Go where minds can be changed. Not where the choir already stands behind you !

I fear they’re coming for ALL school vaccine mandates next. Including measles, mumps and rubella.

Where you at Dems ? You fighting to get them far better severance or going to ignore them, and all others in similar circumstances?

#medsky#pedsky#idsky#immunosky 🧪 In the midst of all of the scary headlines recently, I thought I could take a moment to share a bit of good news: for the first time in history, a malaria vaccine with >90% efficacy seems to be within reach! Here’s why that’s a really big deal for EVERYONE 🧵
