Raised Beds Gardening.

Archive for the ‘Elevated beds’ Category

I watched a few videos on youtube regarding these spectacular optical illusions where pedestrians in china looked across a coastline to see not the typical waves lapping in the distance, but rather a massive city complete with skyscrapers and trees perched – elevated hundreds of feet above the ground. These occurances happen a lot. There’s one even that happened in WW2 where 97 crewmembers of the LST-410 ship had seen the city positioned on the clouds with the rear of the city higher than the front so the whole was in elevation.

"There were ‘buildings’ the very, the very name an insult, these were glistening white palaces with turrets and castleated walls in white marble, sat in fantastic gardens and tree studded parkland, bordered with lawns, flower beds, fountains and pools all in fantastic colour.The people although very small could be identified as men, women, and children. The ladies were wearing long black skirts which reached the floor like those in Victorian times. On my original report I have made two drawings, one of the city and another of the size of the people. The dog was running all over the place."

I just find it weird if it were an image of a city that already existed and was being duplicated as an image into the sky why would it be of Victorian times during the second world war? What do you guys think?

Some of our cauliflower has started to flower here in Arizona. I went ahead and harvested one of our other cauliflower’s since this one went to flower. The taste is so much better than what I’ve eaten from the store! It was easy to grow and I look forward to growing more soon.
