Yes, as someone who plants and tends a lot of plants it does. Shade plants are very common, and it took about three seconds of googling to find a local extension service that tells you exactly what would thrive.

I am personally a fan of bears breeches and hellebores.
Iâm 28, and Iâd say most of the people I know in their 30s are quite a bit more reasonable than most of the people I know in their 50s.
While I canât shake the thought it is true just repeating that phrase and going âoh well society is fuckedâ is a problem. Iâm tired of hearing about how terrible, awful, and whatever cops are because THEY want to CONTROL US. Iâm not saying that the system isnât broken but itâs too often i see âwell thatâs a feature they want us afraid because-â and thatâs the end of the narrative.
Itâs starting to come off less as descriptive of the system and more excuse making. I donât know you or anyone else so I canât say your motives but we need to look past this line of thought.
We need to stop going THERE IS PROBLEM THESE PEOPLE ARE ACTING BAD BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM STRONGER! and start pitching realistic solutions.
We should not be âno cops everâ because i for one would feel happy to have trained persons around in case idiots decide to run down my propertyâs fencing and park in the middle of my field (happened.) I end up getting trunk and donât trust the people around me offering rides and canât reach anyone. In case my home gets broken into.
Thing is we need cops to disarm and take more of a social worker role while the ACTUAL social workers get better funding and training so cops can refer cases to them as needed.
First, there was NOTHING wrong with the home made clock.
Second, his backpack was NOT home made, but a store bought item that even someone like me has seen adverts for it.*
Third, in California you must contact the parents before involving the police in questioning of a minor. Maybe Texas should look into creating the same law?
Major fuck up all around EXCEPT by the 12-y-o. Having the childâs parents may have spared the community a lot of embarrassment.
*someone who doesnât buy a lot of tech stuff
He has one of those highly punchable faces. Or is it just me?
Just wait until the bulk of baby boomers start going senile. Oh waitâŚ
Indeed.
To be fair, Sikhs are some BAMFs. Thereâs some serious badassery in their history. I have much respect.
Dunno, havenât seen your face.
I was asking for it.
(What is it?)
I was able to read the low-res text in the video.
OK. But are any of them native to North Carolina?
Hereâs the article that changed my thinking on that story
They arenât native the where I live either, but I didnât see any invasive ones either. And if someone insists on only native shade hardy plants, the local extension service can guide a person for free (they wonât plant them for you though :D).
From your linked article:
Youâre putting up giant panels to block sunlight from reaching the ground. Of course plants are brown and dead underneath them. Why shouldnât you have reservations about a facility thatâs going to be the equivalent of a giant parking lot to local plant and animal life?
That isnât how plants, panels, or parking lots work. No, you wonât grow corn under them. Yes, you will grow plenty of other things unless you mow them down to the topsoil.
Anyone remember the âPeter Principleâ? Folks get promoted to their level of incompetency, in re this school principled. Welcome to Third World 'Murica. Thomas Jefferson is disgusted with us.
I agree completely, and I would also point out that these people would probably not have objected to either corn in the same area, or for that matter a parking lot. I think it is safe to say that the hyperbolic reaction to solar panels has more to do with identity politics than anything rational.
As someone who works with Texas native and adapted plants outdoors, I often consult this reliable, well-researched font of plant info: http://wildflower.org and btw itâs not just limited to Texas-specific plants, thus:
https://www.wildflower.org/expert/show.php?id=9181
I see that this
http://www.ncwildflower.org/native_plants/recommendations
offers some native plant light requirements. Anyone planting below a solar panel array would do well to observe first what is growing nearby in shaded areas (forest floor, groundcover plants under heavy canopy/having both overstory and understory plants). Ferns come to mind, along with wild strawberry, etc. Please note the bottom of the page includes a section called âMesic for Shadeâ which includes native NC wildflowers, always a welcome support for native pollinators, bees, and soil food web microbes that have long colonized the soils in a given ânativeâ biome.
Your faithful correspondent, still an at-large brownish female human living within the semi-protective bubble of Austinâs gravitational field, in Texas⌠and I have an older solar-recharger backpack as well. These days, itâs more for travel that daily use, because it can only charge a flip-phone (not enough juice for an iPhone).
Not to deviate too much, but I love shade plants. Gunnera grown in dappled light look amazing (leaves get bigger), and hellebores are just plain awesome.
When I lived in Arizona I rescued some full sun plants (plumeria, cacti, succulents) that have only done okay here in the NW. And Iâve attempted to grow seriously heat loving plants in AZ that didnât make it as wellâas in it wasnât warm enough. Some day I will have a Victoria lily dangit :D.
Suffice to say, there are plants for everywhere.
Not quite as crazy. But in any case I was exaggerating for comic effect.
You always have the most accurate and disturbing descriptions.
Not a surprise it happened in Texas. The whole state seems to be nothing but right wing, racist, paranoid nut jobs.
