Mint planet would smell so good though
Authentic Space Mint.
Somewhere there’s a joke about a Raspberry Pi running Linux Mint in there
Sir this is a
Wen…Lemmy, so yeah okay, carry on then.
Kudzu would win this fight.
Children Of Time Book 5 is going to be weird
I guess there’s gotta be some uplifted plants out there. They’ll probably have to fight the grey fungus.
You just reminded me to check on the 4th book, and it has been released. Thank you kind sir or madame (or uplifted rat).
Currently listening to 4. It’s fun and weird, as always
I get the sentiment IF you live in a place that has the right climate and conditions for raspberry. But from my experience, the right conditions and climate for mint are negotiable while those for raspberry are less so.
Yeah I live in the high desert neither one of those things grow out here. Up in this area you get Russian thistle otherwise known as tumbleweeds and sagebrush and those things just grow everywhere. The Russian thistle is the worst thing in the world because those things clog up everything clog up everywhere take over everything. And then we have goat’s heads that take over all the cities and blow all the kids tires and end up in your house when you’re walking around you step on them. I would take mint or blackberries over any of these things.
Glass Shattering Sound
Kudzu struts into the arena
“Oh no, it’s cheatgrass with a steel chair!”
Kudzu isn’t even all that bad. The folks in charge of tracking it rate it far lesser of a concern than other oriental invasives. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/science-nature/true-story-kudzu-vine-ate-south-180956325/
Having had both in my garden, mint will win.
Did they mean brambles maybe?
Mint vs red raspberries - winner is mint
Mint vs black raspberries - those stabby raspberries win every time
Probably, I was going to say European blackberry but that is also known as brambles apparently.
Yeah I think it’s the same thing, blackberry is the berry and brambles is the thicket?
in a fight between mint and lemon balm (different mint), which wins?
i have a giant pot that has been full of lemon balm for the last, uh, i don’t know how long i’ve lived here it’s been a while but i like picking some and steeping some and making the room smell good. out by the trash we also have a pot of mint because the mint smell overpowers the trash smell
Blackberries would probably learn to coexist with mint if they can share enoug root space.
We have 3 kinds of mint and I’ve already pulled fistfuls out of the ground where they’re encroaching on neighboring plants. We planted it in the garden next to our big oak tree for our daughter to nibble when she’s out there with her friend, but it’s probably the last season we’ll keep it.
Bold to assume the mint gives you a choice in whether you “keep” it.
I’m a masochist. I have mint on one side of the house and wisteria on the other. I should round it out with bamboo and blackberries. Make my home into a rhizome cage match.
They accidentally brought Japanese Knotweed and it’s destroying their habitats, bringing the buildings down.
Lest plant some rum plants and mojito that mint into line!
Julip mint would be best for that. We have some and it makes fantastic fauxjitos.
For good measure, add Japanese knotweed and tree of heaven
Had to scroll to find knotweed. Someone knows what they’re talking about.
This is basically the plot of the game Eufloria.
Lupins are good. Nitrogen fixers. Tough.
we’re pulling up on Mojito 3
Good thing I packed limes for this trip. I’ve already got them loaded into the shuttle
Love that this implies that it happened at least three times lmao
And here comes bamboo with a steel chair!!!
As long as it’s not alien conscious bamboo as in the Semiosis trilogy
First time seeing a Semiosis reference in the wild. Excellent series.
Probably actually lichen. They can grow without soils and indeed are a precursor to soil. No alien planet without life is going to have soil in it because soil is a living thing.
Presumably there would be soil since the scenario envisaged is of them terraforming the planet.
Lichen for untold millennia, then we will have enough soil for the mint to take over.
