fahrenheit defenders i do not respect:

- “why would you need to know what temperature water freezes at” (i live in a place where snow and cars co-exist)

- “it’s a 0-100 scale so 50 degrees is a perfectly average temperature” (‘average temperature’ is subjective, i have seen enough people from different climates fight over what qualifies as ‘hot’ and ‘cold’ to know that does not work)

- “it just makes more sense objectively” (it’s only intuitive to you bc it’s what you’re used to)

fahrenheit defenders i respect:

- “you’re just jealous because we can say it’s 69 degrees outside” (i am)

Very true

So I’m trying to make folk linen pants from sowing to sewing.

Second post (here’s first)

It’s been about 60 days since sowing (it’s 22nd of June). It’s looking so pretty and started blooming about 55th day. I’ve been watering it one or two wheelbarrows of every 2 weeks, which I thought would be too little but it’s growing pretty good. It’s still not that high (about over the knee) and I doubt it’ll get much higher sadly. That means lower grade of fibers but whatever. It’ll be fine.

Every now and again there are parts laying down and I’ve been seeing some hares running about so they probably hide in it tramping down the plants. But it gets up no problem so all good. Maybe next time I’ll put up a little fence around it.

Also idk when should I harvest it bc all the info is about oil flax, not textile flax, and even then it’s contradictory sometimes. But either way it’s around 100-120th day, so we’re still only halfway.

Next up I need to start thinking about scuthing it, and it requires some equipment. But it’s easy enough to build on my own probably. It should be something like this flax-brake:

And then this kind of metal comb, which I’ll make just by densly putting nails in a blank:

So yeah, that’s the plans for the near future. Here’s a bonus flax video if you stayed till the end ❤️

This is so exciting good luck OP! I’ve only ever gotten as far as the retting stage myself, but I still hold homegrown linen as a goal.

a bird just ran right past me with a worm in its beak and the resemblance to those anime girls running to school with a slice of bread in their mouths was uncanny
