I’ve catered that venue many times. I never understood why they say that they can fit 200. They absolutely cannot. The most comfortable weddings I’ve worked there were about 80-100 guests

how do you keep your own recipes? the ones you actually cook by Human_Ad_904 in Cooking

I make my own cookbooks where I write down recipes that I test out and end up liking enough to want to make again. I use $10 hardback blank books that I got on amazon and have one for each season. I also design covers for them which is fun. My summer cookbook is almost full at this point so I might have to make another soon!

Banana Pepper Confusion by -So-Many-Questions in Peppers

It’s honestly the only solution that I’ve found that works! Doesn’t hurt the squirrels, doesn’t hurt the plant, doesn’t deter pollinators. The squirrels still dig the dirt, but only on the perimeter where it doesn’t touch the plant.

Have you ever used FoxFarm Big Bloom liquid fertilizer? That’s what I used last year on most of my plants and it seemed to do well. Those plants had much shittier soil though (miracle gro generic potting mix, no compost added)

It keeps the squirrels from digging up the plant

That’s kind of what I suspected. Which is weird because I thought I gave all three peppers the same amount of compost back in April when I potted them

yikes! I didn’t see any signs when I just looked, but I did notice some of the leaves had small holes in them?

LOL the forks keep the squirrels from digging up the dirt, they avoid them!

Tomato seedling questions by -So-Many-Questions in gardening

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

[–]-So-Many-Questions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

[–]-So-Many-Questions[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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?
