I meant a Facebook replacement with groups, events, circles/aspects, and photo albums.

We have good friends who are organic fruit farmers (peach, plum and cherry). We've done a barter thing and these plum trees are part of the exchange. So I don't intend to experiment with these much because:

a: we'll get some more as part of the on-going deal, that have been got through the difficult first part by someone who knows what they are doing, and

b: we have other gardening projects that are higher on the water priority list.

You are completely correct about buds and sprouts being exciting -- the broad beans started poking through today. :-)

Next question: Are you familiar with Elderberries? I have been trying to grow some. They seem to have a sort of cult-following.
There is a native-californian type I have been cultivating, but when I have ordered bulk elderberries online they seem to all come from Europe.

Prolific where I'm from (north of England). My Grandma used to make elderflower cordial and elderberry wine. Never saw them cultivated because they were just "in the woods". I have never seen them in Catalunya.

@elmussol Soon, I thought you were going to say you'd pick them up tomorrow. The subconscious always playing with us :-)
Post data: I have never asked you about the water in Els Mussols, much? little?

We are not on the water grid, so we never have enough. Our house is on a platform and we have two 1000 litre tanks underneath to collect rainwater. The casita also collects water into a cisterna from that roof.

If all that is not enough I have a trailer with a 1000 litre cube on it -- I take it higher into the mountains and collect from a spring.

Fri, 28 Feb 2020 06:57:38 -0500

Laborious, but ingenious and effective ;-)

@elmussol Have you had problems the hottest years?

elmussol@elsmussols.net

@ghostdancer Yes. But it is essentially a matter of labour as @Manuel said. We could collect a bit more off the roof if we had more cubes, but we don't.

If we have less water, we do less vegetable gardening.

@elmussol I asked because I recall a few years ago there was a big draught . This year I guess you'll have enough water (right now) , let's hope the same for the months to come. @manuel-jf

I have heard on three podcasts this week, all by USofAmerican podcasters, the use of the word calvary. To a UK-English speaker (like me) this means the place where Jesus was crucified.

However in each case the podcaster was referring to horse-mounted soldiers, which in my book is cavalry.

I have looked at Merriam-Webster and can find nothing to support this usage. Is this just collective crapness?

That's what it sounds like to me.

Tue, 25 Feb 2020 17:54:29 -0500

Yup. There is a second extended thought - see #^https://www.wordsmyth.net/?level=3&ent=calvary . No horses involved, except horsing around.

If it was addon issue, not the act of censorship, i'll apologize for my words towards Jason.

Looks like it was not addon issue, but the act of common Western censorship (i noticed that our hub had been removed from this list before statistics addon could be broken):

Looks like Jason Robinson ?? made his little investment in promotion of colonial climate change propaganda. Climate change is above all an information policy. A generously funded information policy: #^https://www.insidephilanthropy.com/fundraising-for-climate-change
