  • Garden is really starting to get into the midsummer groove. First good harvest of tomatoes yesterday, more sorrel though it’s slowing down with the heat. Had a few small eggplants but hoping the next batch will grow bigger.

    I planted Persian basil which seems to grow really well in my climate but all of the basil is growing well, along with my sweet potatoes.

    Peppers are sizing up but not ripe yet. Ginger and water spinach still struggling for unknown reasons but I’m wondering if the soil in that area is compacted or something.

    Finally, my pepino is growing like crazy and getting very large. But it’s been flowing for a while now and hasn’t made any fruit. If anyone has experience with this plant and has advice, let me know.










  • For the record, he’s a democratic socialist, not a social democrat. These are distinct, though related movements. The difference between them, which you seem confused about, is that socialists do not uphold the capitalist class, despite your claims. Social democrats want to retain capitalism, while democratic socialists do not.

    However, democratic socialists do have differences of opinion with more radical socialists on the best way to achieve the socialized means of production they aim for. They favor reform over revolution.

    You are welcome to disagree with this view but it’s not a good reason to view their socialism as false or insincere.

    No need to reply, since we already established that you’re not interested in good faith discourse. But I couldn’t leave this misinformation unchallenged.
