Gardening – Composting With Shredded Paper

By Cynthia Sax on January 10, 2024

In our corner of the universe, the city picks up recycling, including shredded paper.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I still prefer to compost our shredded paper whenever possible.

Why?

Because we can be assured it isn’t going to the landfill. Plus it is a great source of browns in the compost bin.

Because we have a LOT of leaves for the garden-destined bigger compost bin, we compost the shredded paper in the former garbage bins we now use for composting. This compost is destined for uses like banking the house (which improves the gradient and decreases the chances of our basement flooding) and patching holes in the yard.

We don’t shredded shiny paper, envelopes with the plastic windows or shiny receipts. But other than that, all other paper goes into the compost bin.

Intrepid Encounter

Cyborg vs. Valkyrie

Blood will be spilled and hearts will be captured.

Intrepid and his crew on the Dauntless guard the border to the cyborg sector. The D Model cyborg captain has dedicated his lifespan to protecting their homeland. He’ll do anything to secure the space and keep his brethren safe.

That includes confronting a Valkyrie intent on vengeance.

The female warrior is beautiful, brave, strong…and Intrepid’s genetic match. She’s the one being he is fated to claim. Her voice causes his circuits to hum. Her touch produces a passion he struggles to control.

But if he has to stop her…permanently…to protect his kind, he will make that sacrifice.

Olrun has been tracking the whereabouts of a one-of-a-kind object. The stolen item is critical to the safety of her Valkyrie sisters, and she’ll do anything to retrieve it.

That includes waging war on a tall, broad-shouldered cyborg warrior sporting brilliant-blue eyes and grimly set lips.

The male might…just might…have battle skills matching her own. And that excites the immortal fighter. She craves his rough handling, his punishing embrace, his stern words.

But Olrun’s desire for the cyborg won’t distract her from achieving her goal. She will shield her fellow Valkyries from danger, even if that means ending Intrepid’s lifespan in the process.


Intrepid Encounter is an enemies-to-lovers Cyborg SciFi Romance set in a dark, gritty, sometimes-violent universe.
It features a protective cyborg, a vengeful Valkyrie, and a destiny neither of them can predict.

Gardening – Indoor Geranium Update

By Cynthia Sax on December 20, 2023

Before our first frost, I dug out my geraniums, put them in pots, and brought them inside the house.

They all survived that stressful process and are now thriving. There are so many flowers and they are growing quite vigorously.

A couple months before our last frost, I plan to take cuttings of these plants and put those in pots. I hope to have an entire section of one of the flower beds filled with geraniums! I think they’ll look pretty.

I’ve heard that butterflies and hummingbirds like geraniums.

Gardening Indoors – Snake Plant Reproduction

By Cynthia Sax on December 13, 2023

The ground outside is frozen. It is too early to start seeds indoors.

So I’m focusing on my indoor plants right now.

One of my favorite indoor plants is the snake plant officially known as the Dracaena trifasciata. It is GREAT at cleaning the air. It only has to be watered about once a month. And it grows okay in all types of light, including corners of rooms.

The above photo shows my attempt to reproduce a snake plant by cutting one strand into pieces. YouTube snake plant experts claim this works. As you can see, it didn’t work for me.

I plan to now wait until they reproduce naturally and overfill their pots and then I’ll split them. This takes in our home about ten years to do.

I’m not in a big rush. (grins)

The Garden Off Season

By Cynthia Sax on December 6, 2023

December is a slow time for gardening in the Sax household.

The outside gardens have been put to bed for the snowy winter season. It is too early to start seeds for the spring. I’m trying not to bother the indoor plants too much. It is cooler in our home and they are already a little stressed.

I AM completing some gardening tasks.

I’m composting. (grins) We’re always composting. The kitchen waste doesn’t stop and we’ll need that black gold goodness in the spring.

I’m also planning the 2024 gardens.

And I’m dreaming a bit while doing that. I’m dreaming of an abundance of red mini tomatoes, some ever producing zucchini/courgette plants, bountiful zinnia blooms, and other plants. (smiles)

It is a great way to spend December.

Bringing The Geraniums Inside The House

By Cynthia Sax on October 24, 2023

I live in a corner of the universe that enjoys a snowy, cold winter. Any plants that don’t have deep roots die over that period.

Which means I bring some of my plants inside the house from first frost to last frost. Some of those plants are the durable, constantly blooming geraniums.

There are quite a few ways people can overwinter geraniums. Some folks pull them out of the ground, shake off the dirt and store them in paper bags in a cool, dry place. Some folks trim them severely and store the entire container inside the house.

I dig them out of the ground, repot them, put them by a window and enjoy the flowers all winter.

The trick is to do this before the first frost. (sheepish grin) I sometimes leave this transfer too late.

Gardening And Unpredictable Weather

By Cynthia Sax on October 17, 2023

The hail was much smaller than this stock photo hail. I didn’t, unfortunately, get a photo of it.

A few weeks ago, I posted about how I was starting my winter herbs outside. I had planned to bring them indoors once the weather had cooled significantly.

Then we had a surprise hail storm in our corner of the universe.

The hail was small but there was a lot of it. It looked like it had snowed. There was a layer of hail over the entire garden and yard.

The tomatoes survived but the newly started herbs were all decimated.

I’m starting them again. This time, they’ll be started in the basement grow station.

The Sole Remaining Zinnia

By Cynthia Sax on October 10, 2023

I planted a gazillion zinnia seeds this year. Many of them sprouted. But all of them, except one plant, was dug up by the raccoons.

That one plant, however, produced at least 20 big beautiful blooms. I guess it decided to fill the bed by itself. (grins)

And the bumblebees loved that plant. They were constantly collecting pollen from it.

Ideally, I would prefer to have at least two plants before collecting seeds. I didn’t have that luxury this year.

So I’ve collected seeds from the solo plant. I won’t know until next year if those seeds are viable.

Gardening IS a huge experiment, isn’t it?

Feeding The Bumblebees

By Cynthia Sax on October 3, 2023

The only things left growing in the backyard garden are tomatoes, lots and lots of tomatoes, marigolds, my one and only surviving zinnia plant and herbs.

The first frost date is roughly November 1st in my corner of the universe.

The Dear Wonderful Hubby and I are allowing the tomato plants to continue to flower, however, because those flowers are feeding the bumblebees. As are the marigolds and the zinnia. The more flowers the bumblebees can feed on before the cold comes the more likely the queen bees are to survive the winter.

It is a tiny way we can make the bees’ lives better and the world a better place. (smiles)

Starting Plants To Bring Inside The House

By Cynthia Sax on September 26, 2023

I started some herbs (basil and parsley) outside while the weather is still nice.

I plan to bring these inside the house when temperatures drop.

Why do I start them outside?

I have more space. I can plant a few small containers and then bring in the best of those.

I’ll have those herbs sooner. And I don’t have to turn on my basement grow station just yet.

There are some downsides to this.

Plants will need to acclimatize to the indoors and the different light levels.

There’s also a possibility of insects coming inside with the herbs.

Strive For Forever


This cyborg seeks to vanquish an ancient entity and save his curvy human female.

Euryale made a terrible mistake. She opened a container she shouldn’t have touched and released one of the oldest lifeforms in existence. That all-powerful entity is now utilizing her as its host body and is slowly draining her energy.

Soon, she’ll die.

Euryale has accepted this fate and is determined to use her remaining moments in the universe to save as many lives as she can.

Her plans do NOT include a smoldering-hot, poetry-wielding cyborg willing to decimate entire planets to save her.

While under the control of the Humanoid Alliance, Strive, a K Model cyborg, disobeyed direct orders and refused to kill on their behalf. If he hadn’t escaped their cruel clutches, his defiance would have led to his death.

The male knowingly risked that fate to save the lifespans of complete strangers.

There is nothing he wouldn’t do to protect Euryale. The curvy human female is his genetic match, the one being he is destined to defend.

And she is in danger.

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.

The Love Of Compost

By Cynthia Sax on September 19, 2023

I love making compost.

I love the act of creating great soil amendments from kitchen scraps and plant clippings and other stuff other people might throw away. I love returning stuff that came from the earth to the earth. That cycle makes me happy.

We use the compost usually two times a year

– in the Fall/Autumn, after we’ve taken all the tomatoes and other plants out of the garden bed and are preparing it for Winter

and

in the Spring, when we’re preparing the garden bed for transplants and seeding.

So we aren’t in a rush to make compost. We have time. And we don’t turn the compost very often. (I poke a pole in it every few days to ensure it has air flow.)

We turned it recently and WOW, we have a lot of great looking ‘soil’ in there.

I’m excited to plant tomatoes and other vegetables in that compost next year!

Strive would break every vow, cross every boundary, risk absolutely everything to keep her from harm.

Including battle a deity no one has ever defeated.
