Turns out the emergency tiller is great at... tilling soil. 🥁 💥

@neauoire I'm so glad it was deliberately put to that purpose, and not accidentally!

@twistylittlepassages It makes these perfect holes and I can put the cylinder of removed soil right back on top, with its tuft of moss.

spooky blip 👻

@neauoire Tangential: after looking up that coord, I absolutely love the fact that the nearby towns are called "Squirrel Cove" and "Whaletown". And now you just planted Flavortown.

@klardotsh It's a nice little nook, we're sharing it with just a handful of boats.

Went to look over the soy and mung beans I've planted on a nearby island. They look healthy, they love it here.

@neauoire I accidentally read that like, they live there [now]. 🙂

@neauoire reminds me of Happy Gilmore as he yells at the golf ball: "go to your home!" except we don't yell at plants we sing to them.

@neauoire So are you trying to make them endemic?
I'm always attracted by the idea. I often grew tobacco, poppies, okra, beans, hemp, wisteria and many other plants, collecting seeds and tempted by plant them in the wild.
Is that an interference? Is it really important? Doesn't a bird do the same thing without being judged?

@amelillo They have much less chance to survive than the plants naturally found in these parts, and they'll die in the winter. But since there's a short span between seed and pods, they're pretty ideal.

I've been planting them near logging camps where british loggers brought holly and all sorts of other things to plant around their cabins, I'll keep an eye out, but if they do too-well, I'll pull them out.

Three weeks later, turns out the soy plants love it here!
