I....I still care about the pee tape...

The baby in the header pic- I WANT TO EAT THAT BAYBAY.

I love okra anyway it comes at me, raw, pickles, Indian Lady Fingers, fried, boiled. Just bring it on. Liked your idea of roasting it and standing at the stove and eating it all right out of the oven.

Last time I bought okra I wound up eating the whole package raw before I even got the chance to try roasting it. It is the best.

AGREED! Pickled okra has about 5 minutes in my house. I adore okra any way you cook it. I even like it boiled and full-on slimey.

And naming them!

I bought from these guys. It is already starting to produce more baby lemons. https://www.fast-growing-trees.com/Citrus-Trees.htm

I’m on the verge of buying a lime tree - citrus flowers smell incredible.

I’m both happy and annoyed by the newly-trendy nature of having a zillion plants. I’ve had as many as my apartment allowed for my entire adult life, peaking at around 70 when I lived in a third floor 1bdr walk-up with great skylights about 5-ish years ago. The basement apartment years were dark times (very literally)…

Are you me? Am I you?

I enjoyed this write up of your new hobby. What fun! Your plants are lovely and I love the little stubby legged pot for your Peperomia.

Most of the soundtrack is not in the movie. Most of it is score music done by Ludwig Goransson.

I love this! I keep my daughter alive, but for some reason, I feel truly accomplished by keeping plants alive.

Clover,

Yeah, when the headline was some elite director hated Black Panther, I was expecting the usual, and no entirely unfair, criticism of the commercialism or poor treatment of revolution politics. Instead he’s a white grandma from 1992, scared and offended by that there R&B music.

Because I have friends that are plants—many of them—which need sunlight to grow. I love this so much! This was a good read. You know that perhaps having plants is a millennial thing, but to me it’s just very 70’s. I appreciate you’re foray into plant motherhood. I consider my plants my kids. I’ve had 2 of my plants…

In a music/movies store a couple of months ago, my 14yo son (a metal fan) picked up the Black Panther soundtrack and we scanned the tracks. His reaction was “why all the Kendrick Lamar stuff”? He’s not dissing Lamar, particularly; he’s just locked on to metal and I guess was surprised there weren’t more artists…

I was going to be like, “Hey, everyone to his own opinion, and this movie was not really made with white Frenchmen in mind.”
