“Only the people can rise up and make themselves heard, opposing this global chaos”

Hello Earth Shepard's! Waiting patiently for some harvests to come in. So far I've been plucking away at my lemon trees to make lemonade (tried wine, but for health sake I'm sticking to lemonade) until everyone else catch up.

Invitees are: Blackberry (x2), Peach (x2), Raspberry(x2), Boysenberry(x3), Blueberry(x1), Strawberry (pulled a few and they're good, x8), Summer Crisp lettuce (still producing and tasty,x6), Tomatoes (Roma and Black Krim,x10), Apple (x1) Bell Peppers(x12) and Zucchini(x2).

As you can see, bell peppers and tomatoes make up a large part of my garden. I'm shifting more to a perrenial grow instead of annuals (peppers here are perrenials) hence the large amount of peppers. In hindsight, I should had bought more Blueberry bushes and at least another tray of strawberry starters.

Besides the strawberries and the trees, everything else has been grown from seed. Pictures are just a minor snippet of what's growing in my backyard.

Click here if you're interested in following more of my garden updates, or here. Anywho, Happy Sunday everyone!

I start with French bread, a stick of butter, onion and garlic powder, crushed red peepers and sharp cheddar cheese.

That community has apparently had similar bans in the past, and neither the community nor the server mention their rules anywhere I can find. I also messaged the mod to ask for a link to the rules, their reply was "You need to complete your sentences otherwise you’re going to get a ban."

Not sure if the mod just didn't like the content of my comment and made up a nonpolitical reason, or if their modding is really that arbitrary.

"Humanitarian organisations including the World Food Programme and Unwra, which supplies food and services to more than 2 million Palestinians across Gaza, have now distributed the last of their stocks of flour and other foodstuffs to the dozens of community kitchens in the territory that serve basic meals to those with no other option.

Aid groups’ warehouses were filled during the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas that came into effect in mid-January and ended in early March. They are now empty."
