Goodbye, friends. The Garden is shutting down. (thegarden.land)
 

You may have heard about an incident from the other day where a user uploaded some baaaaaad images. I’m worried that the responsibility for hosting that stuff could circle back to the nice people running instances, as federated sites are connected that way.

I’m just a garden guy. Here because I wanted to show off pics of my garden with like minded green thumbs. I don’t need to get caught up in any trouble. The other thing is that I have this instance which is mostly just this one community !gardening. We often have only 1 or 0 active users in a day even though many people subscribe and participate from other instances. It’s lovely to have you all come and visit but hosting an instance for myself doesn’t grow corn 🌽.

Special shout out to our most active users Thrawn, Spacebar, editedit, thegiantkorean, David from Space. I have really enjoyed connecting with y’all through my favorite hobby. I will see you on one of the other garden communities I’m sure.

Do you grow Brugmansia (Angel's Trumpet)? If so, why? in c/gardening@thegarden.land
Get low! in c/gardening@thegarden.land
Update on the birdhouse gourd, it’s enormous and growing too many gourds! I’ve removed 15 and still have 15 in c/gardening@thegarden.land
Late blight? in c/gardening@thegarden.land
Found a conjoined bush scallop squash in c/gardening@thegarden.land

Ohh it’s hail! I looked at the picture before I read and I was thinking blight. I think it’s going to survive. There’s still plenty of hot summer left. Cut off the dead stuff, give a good dose of fertilizer and keep it watered. Looks like it’s watered now so I think ya it’s going to be fine.

    If everyone switched to EV cars there would surely be fewer emissions from motors but that would not be the only issue. One is the mining of metals for batteries and the cars themselves. That process, along with shipping parts around produces greenhouse gasses and environmental harm. Then consider that we are not removing carbon nor does EV cars combat the largest sources of greenhouse gases like coal/ natural gas, textile manufacturing, concrete, shipping, and beef. Additionally, the EVs need electricity to charge and if everyone on earth today switched to EVcars many of those would end up being powered by the coal power plants (although it would be a more efficient use of fossil fuel).

    Electric vehicles are great and should be used. They do come with their own set of environmental problems to consider. It also worth noting that production and consumption of vehicles and everything else on the planet needs to slow. We simply have too many people doing too much. So if you have an old gas powered car that still runs, don’t throw it out to buy a new EV.

    I am working with a neighborhood organization to improve tree canopy in my urban area. I got involved with my neighborhood association and another org in an effort to build and strengthen my community. I would love to take more action but I’m not sure what or how. Starting to see now that working together with people helps make us more resilient
