Man makes V-sign in front of flowering trees -- this was in the garden in the ILR school courtyard which is one of the best 4 season gardens in town.

I couldn't care less about a bunch of rich people in Brooklyn, I just read the article for the delicious drama. However, about halfway through the article, I started to see so many #FreeSoftware parallels.
1) Volunteers spend countless unpaid hours creating/maintaining something to better their community.
2) For-profit business packages it up as part of their offering.

Es ist nicht so, dass ich keinen Respekt vor der Wuchskraft von kanadischer Goldrute (Solidago canadensis) habe.
Andererseits verstehe ich nicht, wieso sich Leute wegen Giersch in ihrem Staudenbeet ins Hemd machen

Running independent websites is like planting flowers in front of your plot, on the public lane that the municipality doesn't care about.
You have to deal with people trampling over them because the pavement is not wide enough for their groups. The junk flying over from the nearby supermarket. Asshole neighbor throwing empty alcohol bottles out. Dog shit. And if you succeed nevertheless, people will just come over and dig it all out, to take into their own gardens.
And then some bright libertarian will come and tell you that you should be grateful and praise their ingenuity.

Scotland's Largest Greenhouse Set to Be Preserved as ‘Living Ruin’ and New Event Space
Glasgow's Springburn Winter Gardens was Scotland's largest greenhouse when there was still green in the house.

Just a reminder that gardening centers will happily sell you plants such as Pelargonium citrosum that are supposedly able to repel mosquitoes. But don't be suckered. No plant has that ability even if thousands of Pinterest pages insist it's true. #mosquitoes #gardening #gardens #plants

My latest essay was supposed to be a brief piece on 3 gardens in Kyoto (Shōsei-en, Saihō-ji, and
Matsunoo Taisha). Being a historian, I couldn't resist going down a rabbit hole about the development of the "zen garden" as a concept in the 1930s. That's the way these things go. Link in the comments.

One of the sidewalk gardens on my block has something coming up with Oxalis leaves that seem too big to be the bad Oxalis (Bermuda buttercup). I hope it's somehow redwood sorrel:

but I don't know how that could be …

Oxalis oregana - Wikipedia

"The forest gardens were filled with plants that benefited humans, but they also continue to provide food for birds, bears, and insect pollinators, even after 150 years of neglect."
Notice how this debunks mainstream conservationism's dichotomy between "wild" land conserved for the environment's sake, and land developed for human use. Here, human activity improved the land's use both for humans AND the wider web of life we're part of.

After seeing my wife into work, next to the first coffee shop, I decided to head up river. I started walking along the river path, but then after a short while, I veered off to explore the Terrace Gardens, and I found a coffee shop in there, that I didn’t know existed! So, time for another coffee!

Save Prop I and Affordable Housing Funds
On Wednesday February 25, billionaire Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Bilal Mahmood announced a tax cut for wealthy real estate investors. They propose to repeal 2020's Proposition I, which has raised hundreds of millions of dollars for rent relief and affordable housing. Although Prop I revenue has never been fully dedicated to social housing as intended, it has funded over $200 million to help San Franciscans afford housing as of 2024, including $42 million for the strongest Covid rent re…
