@brewsite @TracyTThomas @Mutedog Not one of my favorites either.
So awful for not only their employees but all their suppliers and business partners that will lose money, so many already on thin margins.
Help out fan artist Maurine Starkey in her time of need: "Mo is facing displacement at a moment when she should be allowed to mourn, breathe, and figure out her next steps with some dignity."

@OohOkayKay@beige.party Guessing in the $200-250 range considering what I've already spent for plants (mainly herbs, natives & perennials) but the compost, mulch & soil conditioner will be the greater part. Much clay, many rocks, very slow process but the buzzing of pollinators is most rewarding.
