And here comes bamboo with a steel chair!!!
As long as it's not alien conscious bamboo as in the Semiosis trilogy
Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.
Somewhere there’s a joke about a Raspberry Pi running Linux Mint in there
Add horseradish and bamboo, and that planet is finished.
Add a single capitalist and the planet can be rejuvenated to its original barren state
sprinkle a little bermuda grass and we'll terraform this planet in no time
Fucking mint, never get rid of it.
However, thinking about blackberries, the only solution is fire.
I don't know which one wins, as long as they win far away from me...
I don't think there was ever a version of Mint that would run on a Blackberry.
You want FEWER blackberries?
The heck is wrong with you?
Himalayan blackberries are a huge issue here in the PNW. They are imported and invasive. Also delicious! But they annihilate native plants.
TIL about a PNW problem!
There are also native blackberries! But most of what you see in the valleys are the Himalayan variety.
The native blackberries do not form a hedge or grow on top of things. They're more of a ground cover. The berries are smaller, and in my opinion, tastier. They have much smaller stems as well.
Just outside of Portland, I got to take a field trip in my senior year eco-science class to go cut down blackberry bushes. They gave us machetes!
Yeah we went and spent a week up in the Seattle area couple years ago camping and the campsite we were at had blackberries all over it. We're from an area that these things don't grow and so my kids were super excited and spent the entire camping trip picking blackberries and eating them.
Children Of Time Book 5 is going to be weird
I guess there's gotta be some uplifted plants out there. They'll probably have to fight the grey fungus.
I'll bring some slugs
I get the sentiment IF you live in a place that has the right climate and conditions for raspberry. But from my experience, the right conditions and climate for mint are negotiable while those for raspberry are less so.
I haven't grown raspberries, but if they're anything like blackberries once they're established it's a bitch to kill them.
you know there's this artist who is famous or something because he once put a bunch of oversized beach umbrellas all along this gorgeous spanish beach like every quarter mile for fifty miles or something idk. anyways the wind picked up as the wind does along the beach, and the beach umbrellas caught the wind as beach umbrellas do and they started rolling along the beach and they had these pointy ends where they were stuck in the sand and i think someone might have died and anyways art never says quite what you think it is going to say, even when you're making it.
anyways i was kind of inspired by this dude even though i forgot his name because i'm terrible with names and i would love to make an art project that is "accidentally" some kind of ecological disaster or something and you just gave me an idea: berries edit no berries mixed with that fuck evil grass. is anyone here a genetic engineer?
Specialists poring over the first draft list of plants and animals to be ferried over: “Are you crazy?!”
Having had both in my garden, mint will win.
Did they mean brambles maybe?
Mint vs red raspberries - winner is mint
Mint vs black raspberries - those stabby raspberries win every time
Probably, I was going to say European blackberry but that is also known as brambles apparently.
Glass Shattering Sound
Kudzu struts into the arena
Lest plant some rum plants and mojito that mint into line!
For good measure, add Japanese knotweed and tree of heaven
They accidentally brought Japanese Knotweed and it’s destroying their habitats, bringing the buildings down.
