I just bought a blackberry today!!!!!!!! 😃 No, NOT the electronic kind. =P
No, it's a Blackberry Satin Thornless (as seen in photos 1 & 2) from Mitre Ten. 😃 Self-fertile, so you'll need only one for the bees to pollinate itself (using its own pollen!) and produce fruit. Fruit grows on second-year woody stem growth, so after two years, you should have fruit. I put compost in the bottom of the tub, strawberry mix in the top, mixed with sheep & chicken pellets and peat moss, dug a small hole in the middle, put a banana peel in the bottom, and then planted the blackberry plant in it (same as for the blueberries, except for the sheep & chicken pellets I used because Mitre Ten had sold out of straight sheep pellets. =P ) Snapdragons open (as in photo 3) in my garden recently, and two blooming gorgeous flowering cuttings in a vase (last three photos), that I cut off the cherry-ice-cream geraniums I had to cut away part of last week to make way for the yellow rose I bought to replace my old one that had died. 😃
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
