squashling

What results from planting a squash seed that germinates. A baby squash plant.

This spring i've grown a fine crop of squashlings, hopefully they will grow up to produce squashlets that will produce nice big squash that we will enjoy eating.

noctalgia

Literally means "sky grief". Noctalgia is a new astronomers' term for the feeling of loss of dark nighttime skies around the world due to light pollution from various sources. Those sources are artificial lighting created by humans such as outdoor illumination of streets, buildings, and other places, many of which are not required all night. Also satellites reflecting sunlight onto the night side of Earth from solar panels and antenna arrays. Most city dwellers can no longer see any but the very brightest stars. The glory of the Milky Way in a dark sky is something most people will never have the opportunity to see. Truly, we must grieve for that which we have lost in the night sky.

I can no longer see stars and constellations I could easily see as I child, their loss gives me a feeling of noctalgia, I am greatly saddened.

procrastiplanting

Verb:
When you have a million things to do, but ignore them all, and you tend to your plants instead.

I didn't want to do any of my school assignments, so I just sat in the garden procrastiplanting.

A very young squash, grown from a squashling.

I have a nice crop of squashlets, with luck they will mature into nice big squash that we can eat.
