Damn, I’ve been struggling this week with whether I should leave my PhD program with a master’s or keep toughing it out, and this really hit home for me.

A recent study suggested that the safe upper limit in wet bulb conditions might be closer to 88F. Link to an article discussing the research

This is my first year with an in-ground garden in Zone 6a! Here’s what I’ve got:

-Plant more peppers, I eat a lot of peppers and could use more

-Plant beans/peas earlier

-Plant okra later

-Only ONE cucumber plant!!! Just one! No one needs more than one!

-More ground cherries, they did great and I love 'em

-Wouldn’t bother with celery again, probably

-Would give radishes another shot, they did okay. I’d do kohlrabi again too

-Planted too many types of lettuce

This has been happening to me for like two weeks.

Well, did she have any?

With the hobbit foot hair!

I’m rocking with the PWA for now but you better believe I’m signed up for that Boost release

Saving this to send to coworkers next time we have to go to a meeting that could have been an email

I thought it might be “is shrimps bugs?”

I think others are right that a lot of the issues you’re having are related to the size of the insurance you joined.

What sort of issues are you having? It’s been working pretty well for me using the PWA.

I’d definitely check to see what’s local to you, but I have a couple of ideas mostly relevant to my area in the Midwest, which is zone 6a/5b.

A lot of spring ephemerals like shade - trout lily, mayapple, trillium, and Jack in the pulpit come to mind. Wild geranium and ferns prefer shade.

A lot of shrubs are shade tolerant, including sweetfern, coralberry, spirea, gooseberry, bearberry, viburnum, mulberry, and pawpaw. In my area most of the understory is spicebush, sassafras, and dogwood.

Hope that gives you some inspiration!
