django-admin.py: No “startproject” command

I was banging my head for a few minutes because django-admin.py wouldn’t accept and wasn’t showing the “startproject” command.

Well, it turns out that the “startproject” command is disabled when you have the DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable set.

See http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/8639

I wish django-admin.py would instead display something like “startproject (disabled because DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE is set to ‘myproject.settings’)”. Maybe I’ll submit a patch…

First EasyBloom reading

Here’s the first reading from the EasyBloom plant sensor for one of our tomato plants.

The result was pretty consistent with what I was expecting. Our soil seems to be a pretty heavy clay and so it probably doesn’t drain very well. I’ve been trying to put a lot of organic matter in the soil to improve it. Recently I added a bag of Kellogg Amend soil (which has compost and gypsum) to the entire garden area, but it seems it’s going to take more time and/or effort to get the soil in optimal shape.
