We are weeding to start preparing the soil for gardening.

For now, the plan is to cut/pull all the tall weeds, leave them on the ground to dry as a temporary mulch for some days (we don't have lots of compost or hay to start mulching right now, so we work with what we have, the very tall grass and weeds that fill the entire plot), after that we start deciding where to plant everything.

We are going to do no dig/no till gardening. That means this year most of the garden will still be in the building soil stages. We will plant a few things mostly as an experiment, but we are mainly concerned with securing soil quality for next year.

Once all the pulled grass is dry, we'll put it aside, cover the ground with cardboard or newspaper to avoid more weeds growing, and cover that with all the compost we made (not enough for all the plot) and the dry grass. Then we can transplant seedlings through all of it.

On the borders we'd like to try some experimental stuff like chaos gardening, which we are seeing very interesting things about.

We'll keep telling you all how this goes, hopefully we get to harvest anything at all this autumn...

"Kein neues Massenlager in der Messehalle - umgehende dezentrale Unterbringung umsetzen!
Denn: Hunderte Menschen gleichzeitig einem gefährlichem Infektionsrisiko auszuliefern ist menschenverachtend und zeigt die rassistische Hierarchisierung innerhalb staatlicher "Fürsorge"! "

Note though, this doesn’t include finger limes, which are a different species indigenous to Australia

There are only three original kinds of citrus fruit, citron, pomelo, and mandarin. All other citrus fruit in the world are hybrids.

All the most familiar citrus fruit in the world, like oranges, lemons, and limes, are bred from these original species. Some were artificially hybridised by humans, while others hybridised naturally in the wild.

I'm about to start The City We Became, and already thinking about the June poll. I'd like to open that poll some time next week, so please send me nominations!

We currently have the two most popular non-winners from May, plus three that I personally want to read soon. I'd love to add some more that aren't my nominations, and would happily leave 1 or 2 of mine for later if I get enough others.

#berlin is creating temporary bikelanes. I'm amazed at how many formerly unbearable and dangerous roads with no real alternatives are now finally available for cycling. roads that we *had to* use before.

and I wonder, how could we tolerate being endangered all those years? how did society just accept us being in such danger all those years?

did we not have a reason to cycle before corona? or did they think "cyclists should just use public transport if they don't want to risk their lives""?
