As someone noted above, “aubergine” comes from the Arabic “al-badhinjian,” meaning, wait for it, “eggplant.”

When Republicans are pre-butting a pro-democracy rally like No Kings and making shit up left and right to scare people, you know they're losing and in panic mode.

Pedal to the floor.

Most things do pretty well, though each year I have issues with insects. This year was cabbage moths. I add compost and minerals every spring and rotate crop families to promote soil health. Have you tried growing sesame? That’s a fun one.

⚠️ Chinese researchers have invented bone glue that mimics how oysters stick to surfaces underwater.

The adhesive can reportedly repair orthopedic fractures in 2-3 minutes, even in blood-rich environments, and is bioabsorbable.
