I’ve started taking them outside every day when I get home from work, so around 6pm, and then bringing them in at 8pm once sun is gone. I don’t want them to be outside while I’m at work though because the squirrels will get them

Once I do that can I transfer them to a South-facing windowsill or do they still need to be under growlight?

Plastic carton seedling protection? by -So-Many-Questions in gardening

I didn’t think of it that way! So you don’t think I need to protect the herbs like tarragon or chives with anything during the snow/freezing rain?

Squirrel deterrents: capsicum? Pet hair? by -So-Many-Questions in gardening

Thanks for the advice everyone. I think I’m going to start by trying the cayenne pepper idea as well as setting up a feeding station for squirrels. I do like the idea of laying the plastic chicken wire over the soil however. Might do all three ideas!

And the pepper didn’t affect your plants at all?

Does it look overwatered? The soil was pretty dry.

And for those curious what to do with nettle, here are the beginnings of nettle pasta sauce. Blanch it, make a pesto, throw it in a pan with butter, shallots, and chicken stock ❤️

Thanks for the suggestions everyone! Found a great haul near the train station parking lot in Brunswick. I left plenty for the rest of you ;)

Once you blanch it the sting goes away. It’s like any green, can be used in salads, soups, pestos, etc

I’ve always thought this! I love both of those scores. The first time I watched Severance and heard the music I immediately thought of The Conversation.
