My newest garden area on Oct. 11 (pic 1) and today (Nov 4). The pumpkin is going bonkers!
I suspect the impressive growth is because this area used to be the compost area for our composting toilet.
The stuff growing in here is:
* Yellow lilikoi (passion fruit)
* Pumpkin of some sort
* Pigeon pea (nitrogen fixing)
* Ice cream bean (nitrogen fixing)
* Malabar chestnut (not nitrogen fixing as far as I know, but I had a lot of them in pots, so I decided to plant a few here)
* A tomato (not sure how this snuck in)
I also stuck a few Lima beans and long beans (sometimes called foot long beans) in the soil, but I'm not sure if they've come up.
This area is basically solid rock + whatever was left from the composter + some soil I mixed up and brought in. The ice cream bean and pigeon peas are meant to provide some solid structure for the soil so it doesn't just get used up in one plentiful burst of growth then disappear. (It's also on a local high spot with a bit of a slope, so this area really won't hold anything unless there are roots to anchor the soil and help build more of it.)
We'll see if anything happens here beyond this initial growth spurt.
PS - can you spot the 2 cats in the first photo? 😸
That same garden patch a month later, with a large pumpkin plant predominating

A #folklore question: Do you of any "Wild Hunt"-type phenomena from outside of Europe?
With this, I mean processions of spirits that roam the land at night. So far, I have found the "Night Parade" from #Japan and the "Nightmarchers" from #Hawaii , but I am curious how many others are out there.

Teens Who Sued Hawai‘i Say State’s Climate Plan For Aviation Doesn’t Fly
Interisland flights are Hawaiʻi’s biggest transportation carbon producer, making up more than half of all emissions related to civilian travel in the state

Intro:
I'm Susie, a nerd/mother of cats (Mara, Leia, Hugs &, Obsidian.) I love Star Wars, Hawai'i, geology, Outlander, books, movies, MinCup.
My husband & I are in the Rebel & 501st Legions for Star Wars costuming, though I haven't been able to do that recently because I have a bad back that has left me disabled.
I still dream of going for a Master's in Geology. But I'm not exactly young, lol.

@ai6yr My uncle was arrested at gunpoint by US troops with fixed bayonets after spending the whole day as a first responder diving into the burning waters of Pearl Harbor to rescue and recover US sailors and marines on Dec 7, 1941, as a soldier of the Hawai'ian Territorial Guard -- he was suddenly arrested as an enemy Jap. He and his fellow Japanese Americans guardsmen were imprisoned for days in a brig, incommunicado, without a clue what was happening, until a local white officer intervened and white plantation owners vouched for them as loyal US citizens born and raised on O'ahu. He would later volunteer and serve in Europe in the segregated "Purple Heart Battalion" -- the 100th Battalion of the segregated 442nd Regimental Combat Team - the most decorated unit of its size in US Army history. He loved a nation that criminalized him for his race.

History repeats itself.
They locked this firefighter up for FOUR WEEKS without due process (finally released). He had proper paperwork and status to work in the US--visa being processed, he was contributing to helping fight fires in Washington. He was ONLY released because of legal action.
"The attorneys argued immigration officers wrongfully arrested Hernandez and violated his constitutional rights. They say his arrest was made without a warrant, based on no information beyond Hernandez’s race and his invocation of his constitutional right to silence, according to the suit.... Hernandez’s attorneys say immigration officials concealed Hernandez’s whereabouts from his family and attorneys for 48 hours after his arrest... Late Tuesday morning, Hernandez’s attorneys got word the federal government had decided to move to dismiss the removal proceedings against him and were releasing him that day. He was released around noon."
