  RE: https://mastodon.social/@Snoro/117019979060288178 The image shows that the farmer has been working hard at desert-building for a few years now. They must be pleased with all the subsidised hedge removal, soil-carbon depletion and agrochem residues they've achieved.

  @pocketvj pleased to meet you love "turn off the internet and start doing something now!" I just come in out of the heat every now and then, or for a break. Like now.

  How the UK trend for turning front gardens into driveways is adding to night-time heat "Impervious surfaces including asphalt (which many driveways are made of) absorbs heat, raising ground and air temperatures. They both absorb up to 95% of incoming solar radiation during the day, reaching surface temperatures of 50-55°C, compared to 27-32°C for grass or tree-covered areas.

  Tomato seedlings, mostly 3rd-generation-saved Couer de Boi, are germinating here in several different locations. Even some outdoor cloched ones have come up due to the few recent 25 deg C afternoons, but they wont be liking the current 7.6 C ambient. The pictured ones (indeed this whole post) are here bcs they've been indoors for nights, and are currently under my high-brightness desk magnifier right by my elbow, at just under 20 C, the threshold for decent growth. Can't reall...
