This is what I visualize when I hear/read MAGA-T.

AI generated "maggot wearing a baseball cap."
Could be better, but gets my mood across. #magat #magahat #maggotwithhat

Who has Vance been hanging around that is using the word peasant? And in what context?

I can't recall the last time I used the word peasant. It's not a word that comes up in normal conversation.
Words that are uncommon to me will creep in if I've been hanging around somebody who uses them frequently; like the word "wicked" if I'm hanging around a BoSox fan.

Sick f-s. I'm furious.

I'm going to grow as much as I can from seed, save seed for next season, divide and propagate more, and use my own skill and labor.

Root washed a container of boxwood. This is all from one plant purchased at a local nursery.

Charming path with dreamy flowering borders, a bespoke pergola with a swinging cushioned garden seat. #gardendesign

I wouldn't create different layers. You want water to move easily. A blend made for raised beds of topsoil/compost might be available at your local supplier. Triangle Landscape Supplies, in Raleigh area. The owner went to NCSU for masters in soil science.

I'm new to keeping chickens, since September. I didn't expect to be such a lame-o, sending pictures of eggs every day. I'm unapologetically giddy. Hearing the egg song is a treat. I get how people quit the rat race and go into self-sufficient farming life. It's powerful, daily joy.

I'm seeing daffodils poking through the soil.

Bookoo feelings today. Got my retirement paperwork notarized. 1997 BSB pop song on the radio, and I got teary.
Time. Flies.

Photos of some of mine growing outdoors in January in NC, zone 7b. (They'll look better when it warms up.) You typically use them like green onions. Cut the tops off and cook or use raw.

If you're a new or experienced gardener, I'm an NC Extension Master Gardener volunteer, NCSU general horticulture, certified rain garden design, Cornell certificate medicinal plants... Lifelong learner. Let's talk about plants, soil, problems, pests, pollinators... and let's grow.

Growing your own food can be economical, therapeutic, and fun; but it can also be expensive and frustrating.

I wish they HAD to wear those red MAGA hats constantly. Everyone who voted for this garbage should own it. Let them reek as they rot from the inside out. #unAmericans

You too.

Queen Bea. My friendliest chicken. She's looking for treats on my lap.
Boon worms, please. #chickenkeeper

I'll soon be starting many seeds indoors, and expect to have extra seed to donate. ~90 days until spring planting for warm season crops. #zone7b #gardening

Apologies to any annoyed neighbors for all the noise today. Agnes crowed for the first time a couple of days ago. He figured it out today and decided to show off. He'll be rehomed tomorrow. Obviously he was supposed to be a layer, not a crower. Hatchery mistake. #rooster

He's snug as a bug.
