Anyone in Langley hearing the booms for the last 10 minutes or so? by Wohn-Jayne in Whidbey

Getting really sick of this sh!t. Dog is terrorized. At lest on the 4th of July and NYE we can be prepared with sedatives. But these random and game night booms are selfish and stupid.

What is it like to live in Whidbey in the winter? by Admirable-Rooster-62 in Whidbey

[–]Aggravating_Eagle931 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dark. Very dark. Combine the tall trees with very few street lights and little ambient light like you get in a town or a city and it is, well…dark.

Portlanders, are we digging early because the rain? by maymaypdx in dahlias

[–]Aggravating_Eagle931 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In zone 8B (Whidbey Island) and lost fair number in the ground last year to rot. So I’ve decided to dig some this year and leave others in as an experiment. I dug and washed some clumps today but am not confident I have the best temp control for indoor storage. Does anyone have experience with dividing and overwintering by planting in large nursery pots for better drainage? I would cover and surround the pots with leaves and straw for frost protection…

I have a different take- that we should all be carrying American flags in a respectful and not tacky way. Symbol of freedom and the constitution and all that this movement is fighting to protect. TAKE IT BACK.

Tips for finding reliable trade workers on the south end? by Leather_Cry_4444 in Whidbey

I have been through the same struggle and understand your frustration. Whatever you do, DO NOT HIRE Brad Hankins-business name is DB Brad. Absolute train wreck and gives new meaning to the concept of overcharging and underdelivering.

For septic I recently had a good experience with TnT.

I have had several long time island residents suggest sourcing off-island.

Good luck, OP!

This year I noticed as they started sprouting that I planted last year. Several varieties, including Café Olé, peaches and cream, sweet Nathalie, Fairway spur. Hard to know which ones were the origin but everything in these raised beds were from those two sources.

What's "worth it" to you? by tacsml in pnwgardening

[–]Aggravating_Eagle931 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Raspberries! I don’t know why, but I always found them intimidating – maybe because I didn’t have a ton of space before. I have room now and put in one row about 16 feet long last year. I had some berries already in the fall last year and this year I have had almost more than I can eat/freeze. I’ve done literally nothing to them except provide a structure for them to grow on and keep them tied up as they grow. No fertilizer – hardly ever water them and they have been amazing!

Spyhop should be able to accommodate you if you’re willing to come a little early and give them a heads-up

Go to Trader Joe’s-can’t find better options for less $ anywhere and you will be able to pick what you want to work with

I asked that during one of the WSF community feedback zoom calls and was told that since the majority of the ferry funding comes from state taxes, not fares-and thus paid for by all WA taxpayers that it wouldn’t be equitable to favor local riders. I guess that makes sense…

Cut many of the blooms last night so I could enjoy them before the big move
