Another day another border's dahlias to dig up. It's barely 40F and everything is sopping wet.

Keep an eye on the tubers over the winter, and learn what works best for your particular conditions. Good luck!

Welp this happened this afternoon. It's my original save file, prepandemic and pre 1.5.

I mean, I would have bought spices for any chili (for any dish) from SOMEBODY, so.

It's okay. I like pumpkin, and the spice blend is reminiscent of Skyline Chili. Remember I have a pile of garden pumpkins to somehow use up.

In early October I went on a pumpkin spice buying spree. Tonight we are dealing with consequences.

Eight pages bound in furry seal skin may be Norway's oldest book

The little book is so rare that the National Library of Norway is bringing in experts from around the world to learn more.

More Mongolian cooking videos while I eat lunch.

I love that they love rice pudding.

Haha. Stephen Fry certainly thinks he's in Clue. I don't know about the rest of the cast.

A sequel!

Trash talk: why are UK kids using so many Americanisms?

British teachers report hearing more and more schoolchildren using US terms such as ‘candy’ and ‘diaper’ – and even speaking in an American accent. What’s going on?

And done. The right border still needs to be done, but i am soft. Tomorrow. Today's tubers will spend a week or so drying on the Barnes covered porch, then into cardboard boxes in the garage. I don't clean them!

Left border done! Moving on to this raised bed. All these grew from tubers i tried to compost last winter. They were some of my favorites this year, so now I'm digging them up.
