We were thinking a thornless variety as well. We love them and they are native to our area so I think we will

It’s this in you garden or natural? I kind of want to plant one in my garden this year? I know I’ll have to trim and pull but and to know if it’s worth it

Sometimes I think I would love to try playing AD&D in the competitive Gygax method. It would be fun to get a table of skilled players and complete against another table to see how far you can get through a dungeon and get the most gold. It seems like a wildly different way to play and would be kind of fun for a competitive - cooperative method.

We have a raspberry in our bare soil and we only had to pull a few in the spring. Good luck!!!

Also the examples listed here the artifacts are going back to their original owners who have already protected these items for years or decades. I think the curators and other museum people would rather have the items in safe private hands instead of unsafe public hands.

Whenever I don’t know what I want to plant I consult my local university. Since I am in Minnesota it should be similar to your zone which has a great section about planting in the shade. Check your own or see what we have here.

Its mostly azaleas, dogwoods and hydrangea but there are other options. Take a look and pick something fun

Our raspberry bushes only send up runners early in the season. It is pretty easy to just pull those who escape.

What they used to saying in the gay marriage rights movement was the rights of marriage don’t kick in the good times but in the bad. It’s all the sickness and death and divorce when it’s needed.

Its such a big day they made a pretty okay Kevin Costner movie about it

I know there are certain legal situations where an official marriage changes who has certain rights, but aren’t those same rights available if you make other legally-official decisions E.G. a will or trusts, etc?

This is not the case. Marriage gives you a lot of specific rights that can be covered by other legal documents but never together and marriage will override it. This is one of the main goals for giving gay marriage is all of the legal benefits of marriage which are expansive and complete. (This is of course in the USA this is not the case in other locations.)

There was a few legal pushes to separate these legal benefits from marriage into different legal rights that can be granted piecemeal. If you are intersted I would read The Other Significant Others which talks about people who prioritize friendships over marriage and how they interact with their “other significant other” which includes the legal discussions.

Hope they help. University of Minnesota has a big Bee lab so they have great resources

Making the rich pay their fair share works great for my slogan: Make American Work for Everyone.

I have used Flawn which is based in Minnesota so a little further north. This shows the zones that the cover. I think they go down to 3.

Also Prairie Moon Nursery has sorting by zone which aren’t specially for lawns but ship bare root plants. They have good filters by zones and locations.

I think I might start saying “give me some skin”.

I have blocked a few communities which I have really enjoyed. I think there is definitely a different but freeing experience to be in charge of curating your experience instead of algorithms doing it for you. It’s more work but the freedom is nice but making the constant choice feels hard.

Just got this because it was a great deal to turn in my 6a. I’m glad it’s AI light so I don’t get bogged down in things I don’t need. If AI is great I can get it in 3 generations when it works

Dealing with the afterlife and the planes is really up to you. I think making this a little unclear, vague and inconsistent leads to a little mystery to the game. In my game I would follow something similar to what you had laid out above. Here is how I would run this for my campaign.

• The players would have to find out where their soul went. This would be some adventure to find this out by petitioning Kelemvor or another method to ensure they find the correct location
• The players find a method to travel to the plane (I would do olympus because it would have some fun fights). I would either have some quest to get a planar aligned tuning fork (if they have plane shift) or some kind of planar tunnel to get there.
• Once there they will have to find the soul (who I would treat as a different creature for spells like scrying / divinations). I would have them continuously fighting and dying from the same fight.
• After they defeat this boss again, I would have some RP / skill check to convince the soul to come with them because their memories would be wiped / reduced. I would have time move very differently for the part vs this player.
• On the way back if the soul dies outside their fight arena I would have it dissolve into the essence of the plan (a.k.a. DEAD except for wish) or return back to their fight arena.

This sounds like a fun series of adventures.

Want to see something sad look at the divorce rate for women who are diagnosed with cancer. Its so common that most doctors and support groups talk about it after the diagnosis. So I am not surprised but still disgusted.

As suggested below cardboard to block out any ground that you are not using. This cardboard is usually done after the season is done (in the fall) and covered with leaf litter and then soil in the spring. This pushes the cardboard down where it will act as a weed block as it starts decomposing. Most “weed seeds” only sprout when exposed to sunlight and air and are air driven. So this cardboard will block the seeds where they are.

Since its spring I would recommend putting down seeding straw instead of cardboard (but you can do both) around your plants. The straw will slow any new windblown seeds from falling and will cover any of your bare ground so the light doesn’t activate any new seeds. Moreover, the straw should hold moisture for the rest of your plants and should start decomposing over the season. Also I think the straw looks better than cardboard throughout the season. With the straw you can start composting in place by placing any garden scraps under the straw where it will start breaking down out of sight.
