Woohoo. Basically implanted sweet peas into pots last autumn I. The greenhouse; planted them out into the garden end of Feb; and planted morning glories around their roots to take over when the heat had killed the sweetpeas. And it worked!<br/><br/>If you’re going to try it though, cutting the sweet peas out without damaging the MGs was a bit painful…<br/><br/>#Gardening #bloomscrolling<br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/117/043/544/385/502/544/original/ff7f0857c08c7412.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://media.mas.to/media_attachments/files/117/043/544/452/092/792/original/74451056609ff6f4.jpeg"> <br/> 2026-08-05T15:15:29Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsd376wfm6jrc3jpemq8duar6vjzphywpclx9kyzn8zcxj2cwkta2czyrq6en9sc93nqzdhvweatkspchkkq75tud2x9685vex7wg22jl0v7gzkvkt Hi Masto #gardening and #bird people: can you help me with a bird ID please?

Anything which looks like discretionary cost is cut.<br/><br/>It’s insanity of course if you’ve any objective other than profit-max. But it is the now-prevalent MO. Training companies are suffering. <br/><br/>I get shit from USians who say it’s my duty to avoid taxes &amp; cut ‘discretionary costs’ ruthlessly tho I am the shareholder. That’s religious levels of mad. 2025-07-25T05:55:53Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqstsemr0y4tuvll26d9x6y7vxrzydhzas4qp56stkj5w64s0mxxhcszyrq6en9sc93nqzdhvweatkspchkkq75tud2x9685vex7wg22jl0v7rk8q6q In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsy4gh0xv8g40yy48tpf3f3f5gvs875nftgyggw6tpc3xtsxyxnqfstqtxxh'>nevent1q…txxh</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Had to look her up to remind myself!<br/><br/><span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1jj54fg4rz6rq7hmut2ul35n7j40dw8j9lrutcsuv0ymmkdw2zv3s4jdjd7" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Colin H.</span> (<span class="italic">npub1jj5…djd7</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1n5cdluydpnnnx475jxs29l04r9jsd8shsvum7vw6mfh4h6em3mjq652pzg" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Greenseer (Dionne) 🩷🐇🏳️‍⚧️</span> (<span class="italic">npub1n5c…2pzg</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1trg4aj95ycufcrhgl77uc4fljhy8c7pfrkrlvxk5l85htdmjnw9qmsv6kh" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>kat donegan 🇵🇸✊</span> (<span class="italic">npub1trg…v6kh</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1wnwcyf33pzrtvr59am3xzk4hsgzhrjlq0w7tr28m8rgyurw95c2qed9wy5" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Nick</span> (<span class="italic">npub1wnw…9wy5</span>)</a></span> <span itemprop="mentions" itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person"><a itemprop="url" href="/npub1p095l6jcegr5j3zz0zjg2zukf7aq34awuetvkkpc8z78qwlvwavs5hm5vl" class="bg-lavender dark:prose:text-neutral-50 dark:text-neutral-50 dark:bg-garnet px-1"><span>Aral Balkan</span> (<span class="italic">npub1p09…m5vl</span>)</a></span> 2025-07-24T11:56:47Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsz3sk7k2lwruw0rrr7m7dhandjdgf5p9lazr9hdvzpmmaupeq9dtqzyrq6en9sc93nqzdhvweatkspchkkq75tud2x9685vex7wg22jl0v7zssvut In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswvs72dy948r6g35ay0hy5vv6zrl9yulmn8tjxsw6azyvzkwam6cqm2g6cz'>nevent1q…g6cz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>yes - I think that’s fair. I think his time tho has to be seen in the context of the unbelievable resources which were expended on slandering him. Daily. The PLP, the media…the ridiculous shit which filtered into public perception. He couldn’t win against that and tbh, that’s my takeaway: doesn’t matter who it is a social dem will always face that in the UK 2025-07-23T07:03:41Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqs0t930wrkf6dfegr0y0vzxjmhas8tp5fzmxcqgafrdezne56l6rcgzyrq6en9sc93nqzdhvweatkspchkkq75tud2x9685vex7wg22jl0v793gvjv In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsrm2rddg20pl7k4s7vnc0x5lt6v4v3a0ja977t4wdalvm7mt504wqxf4nfc'>nevent1q…4nfc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>my differences with Corbyn were always political not personal. I didn’t meet him but he was my MP for a bit. So I wish he’d been more vocal on Europe (70% pro-Europe wasn’t helpful) but the concerns with accountability are legitimate. FRONTEX is a great example of no accountability for eg. But careful analysis wasn’t what was needed. Very nice fella tho 2025-07-23T06:50:35Z
