#Iris sibirica flower. Surreal colouring and shapes.

Oddly, this clump does just fine in the shade, under an overzealous rosebush.

#Iris sibirica, in flower now in our backyard. Who doesn't love an old classic?

Almost time to split the clump... almost.(procrastinating++) 😹

Thanks @theoldsparrow! I shall be sure to pass on the compliments to Shadow.

#ShadowTheCat amongst the fargesia #bamboo and miscanthus #grass. Monitoring the situation. Very intently. 👀

Yep. Not that I'd call myself a vocal advocate. I'll never convince my mother to switch off WhatsApp, I get that.

To keybase's credit, I was able to land a non-small deal due to someone hunting me down there. Crazy, I know. 😹

Interesting notions for sure... what are "Dat" and "PWA"?

BTW - if you click the hyperlink when signing, you'll see an IPFS hash which you can extract the qmHashes for all the posts you're about to sign!

Yeah, also open source technology underpinning it. Nobody I know uses this though, but it seems nice.

I like keybase too, pity it's not more popular. Check out Wire, no phone verification required:

This weekend at the #allotment we weeded, prepared, and sowed some broad beans ('Sutton') under an A-frame to let them grow upwards.

With hungry plants, dig in rich material deep before planting on top. We used some terrible smelling organic nutrient mix. Yummy! 💩🐧

... As long as you don't mind your fish slightly nibbled! 😹

Nice to meet you Coco! I also love blueberries. 🐧♥️

... and the mandatory #caturday pic: #ShadowTheCat setting up his little fishmonger shoppe. Adorable! 😻

#foxglove macro. 🔍

#gardening

The #foxglove growing between steps has begun to flower. Apparently it's a pink one; I had hoped it'd be our rarer peach coloured variety, but it's still stunning. Amazing persistence, I'll say it again! 🤟🐧

#gardening

No problem. What do you mean by a "fully fair" #peepeth?

😹

Can anyone identify this? 🙀

The first 'Graham Thomas' #rose in #flower this season! An English shrub rose with double flowers and a magnificent scent.

Metadata is removed, so hashes will be different than your original image.

What're you using it for? It looks neat.

Check out SB Plant Invigorator. I have no affiliation, just a customer of this product. It is natural and not a #pesticide. I hope that it's available in your region.

#gardening #pestcontrol

... everything under the sun that works!

Slugs, snails, aphids, whitefly, blackfly, are all voracious here. Are there particular pests you're wondering about? We use different controls based on the enemy.

🍅 Cherry #tomato plants.

Tomatoes are hungry: a deep hole was dug (fork-depth), turned in well-rotted manure (1y), top-filled with compost. We plant the young plants straight into soft compost. They grow and root down into the nutrient-rich organic material below.

#gardening

Further progress at the #allotment this weekend. Sunday was sunny, much labouring was done on this newer half of our plot. Never enough, though!

Planted two cherry #tomato plants under this cloche, to be cordoned upwards as they grow. 🍅🐧🍅

I have been using keybase for a few years now.

Thanks! We don't use the #garlic tops, but if you have a suggestion, I'm up for trying it.

Yes, they're perennial and will return year after year. Just don't cut and eat all the growing stalks. Once established we're cutting one for every 2 stalks we leave to grow. That way the crowns can develop during the season for next year!

No, we don't feed these with fertilizer. Part of the annual maintenance includes refreshing that single spoon of soil with a rocky mix of compost. You don't want your #microplant growing macro, after all! 😹

Just a rare watering, and they're happy!

Spending #Caturday eve in good company with #ShadowTheCat. #CatsOfPeepeth

Rare watering day for our tiny #cacti. These little friends are 6 years old. There is one spoonful of soil in here, no more!

This is the smallest container plant I've got; thought it was worth a peep. 🌵🔍🐧

Have you got #microplanting to share?

#gardening #cactus #succulents

Rainy day today at the #allotment. The elephant #garlics are coming along nicely!

Harvested some #asparagus spears for lunch (visible in picture on right side) and we've done some general tidying up.

Ahhh, yeah, CYOA books were fantastic. I feel children are missing a lot of text-based entertainment nowadays.

Nice suggestion, that's a really cool concept. I started playing it, will check it out more, but it seems there's no save.

I love these types of things.

More forkin' #allotment work this week. Most of this area will be used for succession blocks of 'Lark' #sweetcorn.

The progress is slow, but ongoing. You can tell by the colour of the soil what was forked last week vs this week.

Text adventure games should be a mandatory part of the gaming experience growing up! You can play them nowadays on mobiles, for free (without all the excessive typing!)

Ahh, gotcha now. Thanks for breaking that down for me. Yes I remember those days, it was a very hot market end of 2017. I know a lot of people that got burned badly in the FOMO.

Thanks very much for those two contrasting positions, that was very helpful. I think the first article highlights my concerns with it: at the moment the interest on the CDP seems... really high! Higher than traditional debt vehicles.Why did you mention the 2017 bullrun?

The invasive #bluebell is Spanish, and it's hybridizing out the native species, as well as outperforming them in the British woodlands. Soon the native bluebell may be a thing of the past.

We have been careless: bringing all kinds of plants from all over the world back home.

Passed by some #bluebells en masse, in some woods yesterday.

I found this scene beautiful, but haunting; it shows the advancement of an invasive species of #bluebell (front, tall, multi-directional flowers), native British bluebells in the background.

Very cool. Love that Regatta game. What were the "F" units being used at the auction?

Could someone explain the benefits of #DAI?

There are issues with stable pegging from what I see--interest is continually increasing. I want to hedge into DAI but I think I need some more input from the experienced. I love the concept of a DAO--in theory anyways!

#stablecoins

This #foxglove set seed between the cracks in the steps two seasons ago. Biennials, what're you gonna do? 😹

Going to let it finish flowering this year, even if it means not using that step for the summer. The persistence of plants is an awesome thing.

Being a 💺 for #ShadowTheCat.

What are YOU up to this weekend? 😺

Thanks for the tip! Just checked it out in the store. It looks nice, I'm not sure I dare to play competitive multiplayer though... 🙀

... I should've added this emoji to my peep:

📬

If you've played #Zork, you'll know what I'm sayin'! 😹

Cool, I'll check it out sometime. I've heard of that one but not tried it. I'm not very big on #chess these days.

Shameful #solitaire addict over here. ♠️🃏♥️

Most definitely! What about Zork?

What software do you play #chess on? ♟️

Welcome to #Peepeth! I often find myself catching up on peeps from bed.
