Rearranging furniture, cleaning, washing windows, mopping, trimming, making clones for buyers, harvesting, pulling out herbs, and finally moving and assorting plants…

I started and finished THREE audiobooks. “Doppelgänger” by Naomi Klein, “Prequel” by Rachel Maddow and “The Color of Compromise” by Jemar Tisby. All recommend.

The sunroom of plants. A few plants on both sides and in the far back are not visible. The sunroom walls are white and it is night outside. The floor is brick. There is a grow light shining from above. The pots are in different colors and some are hand-painted.
A garage full of plants. It’s actually really hard to see just how many plants are there bc it’s a wall of green. There are pots of small plants on top of pots of large plants. It is taking up more than half the garage and there are very narrow paths to duck under branches to get around the whole jungle. There is some space behind this where I pull in around 7 large plants when the weather gets below freezing. These are on rollers. Going to experiment this year with keeping loroco outside all winter until really cold temps to see if I can keep the aphids away.

Strongly recommend this book.

Author clearly explains how private equity firms are destroying essential industries, how they avoid legal responsibility for the disastrous consequences, who’s empowering them and how they can be stopped.

Private equity’s #enshittification is to blame for much of the worst aspects of health care, housing crisis, the economy as well as the deepening wealth gap.
