That Dungeon with a Dragon in it

There really shouldnt be any excuses on why I havent posted.  I mean...I just didnt!  I guess Im a rebel huh?  Camera is still MIA and phone is still an asshole.

But Saturday, I did have a reason why I didnt post.  Husband was hosting a weekly Dungeons and Dragons game at our house.  We have been playing 4th edition which...well he is still learning how to be a good DM.  Recently he has decided to take a step back and focus more on school.  In other words, he doesnt really have time to do any story progression.

My character in this game is Kiki (like Kikis Delivery Service of course.)  I totally dig redheads so most of my D&D characters sport red hair.  Kiki started out as a half elf summer druid but made her way into an ardent.  Originally, she joined the quest because her homeland was being destroyed by magic energy which naturally pissed her off.  She was originally accompanied by a bear named Cid that we used and abused.  Cid has been set free to live as a normal bear.

One of the guys has wanted to play Advanced D&D (D&D 2.0...were actually taking a few steps backwards here) and took over on Saturday.  AD&D has a hell of a lot more RPG in it than 4.0 so my character has quite the back story here.  Her name is Sivalri (which I have not taken from any other game.)  She is also a half elf but is completely different.  Her mother was kidnapped and raped by a dark elf and managed to escape (or so everyone is told.)  Her mother raised her but was hanged for doing so (as she was told when her mother kept her locked in the house.)  When she was 13, she became an orphan.  To make money, she became a bard (a class I have never played before, making it more interesting.)  At the age of 15, she met a warrior which brought her to a cleric.  Silvari is on this quest to, essentially, bring back the middle class.  The poor are very poor which has created more poor orphans while the rich are in control of all magic which could help everyone out in the long run.  Silvari has brown hair and green eyes with darker skin.  

And so now you know why I may not post on weekends.

⚘Companion ❀ planting⚘ ϟ

WOW,  I just stumbled across a very comprehensive list of companion planting ideas and I In no way intend to fill the internet up with more junk or steal someone elses hard work, so all I am doing in this post is linking to there site, ENJOY!.

http://www.ghorganics.com/page2.html


We personally practice companion planting here at Simpson Eco farms, and while sometimes we get the opposite reaction of whats suppose to happen, there are some that work flawlessly, We grow mint around our haskap ( blue honeysuckle ), basil, dill, and rue with our tomatoes/peppers/tomatillos/ground cherries,  pansies and johnny jump ups around lettuce, hot peppers under our citrus, as well as peppermint and mint rose geranium.
This year we will be experimenting with our fruit trees to see what we notice, We will update how its going in the future and let everyone know of our results.


Will? post ? some ? pics ? when ? it ? stops ?raining ???????????

Dragon fruits from seed ☐☐☐☐°°°°°°❚ ❚ ❚ ❚°°°°°°☐☐☐☐

Purple dragon fruit from seed

Here is a collection of our dragon fruits from seed, they seem to be growing at a reasonable pace, with the white dragon fruit under a fluorescent bulb growing the quickest. While I find the dragon fruit delicious, the white one is not my favorite, very little sweet taste, almost bland ( Im sure fresh off the plant comes into play but only so far when in comparison to other dragon fruits )  and to be honest,
I havent even tried the purple/pink ones yet, but I tell ya, it will be hard to beat the yellow dragon fruit.
The yellow pitaya is so sweet, I find the taste similar to a table grape but 10x the punch, the seeds are an interesting addition, they have a little more crunch then kiwi seeds do.

We had to make multiple orders online as only a few varieties sprouted ( there were no specific variety names, just white dragon fruit, purple dragon fruit and the yellow one I bought from the store ).
We went through one supplier in Hawaii and nothing sprouted at all, I found it to be very suspicious as all my other seed packs sprouted quite easily, so after some researching We came across a post where someone said they irradiate most products coming out of Hawaii, We cant confirm this yet but be advised, Hawaii is already known for there GMO invaded island,  most people We know avoid food from there as its the playground for genetically engineered crops,
not to say We here in Canada arent screwing around with this as well.

With the way this world is headed on GMOs, We figure its just a mater of time before they go after dragon fruits, so weve been in a scramble to collect all the species we can, in the hopes of preserving some original genetic material for future generations.
