mopinko's Journalneed suggestion for some shady areas.
so, i acquired a new property and put out several things in containers in the spring to test how much sun hits where.
a couple spots that i thought got enough sun showed that things didnt grow all that well there. peppers and tomatoes grew very slowly, so i moved them.
a couple other spots things are doing well, or at least decently.
i intend to plant some fall stuff there. i already seeded some broc and brussel sprouts. if they get past the bunnies, i think they will do well. need to get some more containers for that to circumvent the rabbit explosion, then i will plant that up seriously.
also going to get some lettuce growing over there, where i think the shade will help it not bolt so fast.
but i am thinking about perennial crops that i can grow there.
i have some currants that are overgrown, so i am gonna gamble on those in the sunnier spots.
i can also transfer some raspberries over there. i have to pull them all the time to keep them where they belong, so that i a freebie.
if i can get my hands on some asparagus crown this fall i will try them out in a couple of spots. i had always thought of them as something that does ok in some shade, tho searching around mostly i am reading that they need a good amount of sun.
any advice on varieties? they arent cheap, and i will probably try some seeds, since i do have a long time line for this whole project. is the purple fussier that the jersey or other green varieties?
any good ideas from the brain trust?

michael cohen and sdny
so, i have been wondering why it is taking so long to indict michael cohen. yeah, lots of docs to go through, but they already had a lot of it. certainly they have enough to file a prelim indictment.
starting to wonder if sdny is gonna roll up the russian mob, and put a michael cohen bow on it.
i can hope, cant i?
ok, it's a long shot. but it is also the only way i have heard that
actually throws a wrench in the works, now.
change the leadership in the senate in a heartbeat.
please rt.

#treasonsummit. tweet it now.
trending BIG TIME on the twitter machine.
if you tweet, take a look.
i retweeted a bunch of people that i rt on a regular basis. i bet you will, too.
eta- the trolls are out. they are trying to dilute the hashtag.
when i started, i only had to type t to get the ht. now there are several other hashtags, including a misspelling of summit, sumnit, and a treasonsummit 2018 ht.
yes, social media can be stupid, but it can also influence the media.

phew. update on my son.
well, life i weird is all i can say.
and families can most certainly rock.
so, last news was that the boy moved to va w his girlfriend to work on a horse farm. they broke up, and she moved back to chicago.
some folks there put him up for a while, and he was reportedly helpful. but they let him know he had to get a job. in rural va. umm.
his biggest worry was that he thought (so did i) that there was a warrant out for him in illinois. ex's new wife, a chicago cop, looked it up, and he had gotten time served in the county jail.
he reached out to a cousin, who lives in falls church, to help him find a lawyer. now, this cousin is much older than he is, and they hadnt had that much contact. he was career army, and didnt make it home to very many get-togethers. some day i will find out how he even found him, since he is notoriously private, but yeah.
he reached out at a time that the family was all pretty close together after a couple family funerals. so, much warm fuzzy.
he asked if he could stay w him for a while.
now, like i said, career army, now at the pentagon. ramrod straight.
he wanted to help him, but the army has some pretty strong experience in straightening out kids like him. he laid down a lot of rules, including getting help, getting a job, and no drugs.
since my nephew works crazy hours, much will fall on his wife. respecting her was also a biggie.
i cant tell you how important that no drugs one is. the kid was so lost in a fog of weed.
they drove him around getting applications, gave him 24 hours to fill them out, then took him around to hand them in. they told him that on the next monday he was to find a therapist and make an appointment.
so, the latest update-
he had his first visit w a therapist, and cant wait for the next one. he hopes to go weekly.
he got a job, tho he hasnt started yet. making pizza, which is actually something he can do well.
if anyone can straighten him out, it is his cousin.
tho there was some family friction around my nephew and his service, i have the deepest respect for him. he rose to the highest ranks in the special forces. he was up for a general's star. when he didnt get it, he announced his retirement. to get him to stick around for 1 more year, he was offered a job in the obama white house. tho he is quite a rw-inger, he was honored to serve, and came to respect obama. he was the liaison to the special forces. he negotiated bowe bergdahl's release.
he is one of the hero horse soldiers of the afghanistan war, tho they wrote him out of the movie "12 strong", prolly because he really doesnt like the spotlight. there was a fatwa out on his for his actions there, so that was part of it, but that is also just who he is.
to say i am over the moon at the moment would understate this by light years.
omg. i made the big time. the tweeter machine say rudy guiliani followed me.
what the fucking fuck. i am such a small time tweeter. i am mostly there to boost my sister, and sean casten, and just generally boost the truth.
but i got a notification that rudy is following me.
the bots are strong w this one.
anybody else?
