After stripping a coneflower's head, I kind of see where the name came from. Looking it up, there's a bit more to it. It's from the Greek root word and refers to the sea urchin like spiny #nature of the flower, which forms cone shaped. I will be trying to seed them. Learn stuff every day. #gardening

A soundtrack made from a post about fighting a rabbit who is nipping off my tomato plants. This is what #AI was invented for. https://www.riffusion.com/song/32407e94-9847-4423-a943-2e45ff19ac7a Post the song was derived from:

My opinion of Jack's bitchat is evolving, see https://w3.do/aOTZzvuF First thought: reticulum > bitchat because radio waves have greater range than bluetooth. But, reticulum (and meshtastic) requires specialized hardware. Few people have or will get this. Second thought: people already have a bluetooth phone in their hand. So, maybe bitchat > reticulum by sheer power of numbers of devices possible. (It would still need to become stupid-simple and dummy-proof as a UX though.)

The Rabbit War of 2025 has commenced. Each summer I engage in rodent wars - chipmunks, squirrels, and rabbits. In the past, chipmunks have been the nemeses. I once started C.H.i.R.P. = Chipmunk Habitat Relocation Program for trapping and moving them. I think 18 chipmunks were relocated, none harmed. Below is a gif showing the traps: it goes it, bait is in the rear, trips the trigger, trapped. This year, it's rabbits. I had two nice tomato plants almost ready to be transplanted into the ground. A rabbit nipped one off, left it on the ground. I started more baby tomato plants. The rabbit nipped half of them off. So, I brought in the milk crate cover. If the problem persists, the next step is the rabbit trap and relocation. Stay tuned.
