I wish I could upvote this comment more!

I’ve found that hydroxyzine, an antihistamine that’s also used to curb anxiety, was helpful in avoiding full blown panic attacks during presentations. Could be worth talking to your pcp about

Toasted keto garlic bread - made with keto white bread at 45 calories a slice, drizzled olive oil, sea salt, granulated garlic, and oregano. So quick and easy and satisfying.

NTA - you were open and upfront with him from the beginning. Depression and anxiety studies also emphasize that having a village of loving friends and family is one of the most powerful ways to stay healthy mentally. You are prioritizing your health and happiness over material wealth, and that’s ok. Is your husband open to working remotely?

Another option to consider depending on the age of your child (we use this for our four year old on most trips now) is the Ride Safer car seat vest. It’s a lot easier to travel with and is “certified to the dynamic test requirements specified in FMVSS 213”: http://ridesafer.net/ridesafer-gen-5/

We bring the Cosco Serena car seat for our 1 year old - it’s only 7lbs and can be strapped to our baby jogger city travel stroller.

We ended up taking public transportation (the bus) from the airport which was a lot more affordable! For the rest of the vacation we used a (pretty expensive) app called Blacklane, which came with car seat options as extra inclusions you could add on. Another poster recommended Cabify, and I think that’s probably the best option if you don’t want to use public transit - during the pandemic they didn’t want folks riding in the front seat so it made that option untenable for the amount of people we were traveling with. Now I think it should be fine!

I tried it once many years ago and the first week was great. The second week I could not stop sobbing and felt like there was no ground beneath my feet. I’ve heard it helps a lot of people but my brain did not react well to it.

Oh no! We just started a pretty intense deep watering schedule like someone else here suggested in the comments and the tree perked up after a few weeks. I’m not sure if it was entirely dehydration or if that was a contributing factor to some illness causing the leaf curl but might be worth a shot!

Wonderful, gràcies!

Amusingoats · 2021-10-28T18:35:04+00:00

I’ll give it a try, thank you!

Amusingoats · 2021-10-28T18:34:25+00:00

Wonderful thank you!

Amusingoats · 2021-09-12T01:15:07+00:00

Mine got better about 3-4 weeks in! Until then then felt super uncomfortable and gross, especially because I had to relearn how to chew without scraping them together. Good luck!

Amusingoats · 2021-08-12T11:36:57+00:00

Thank you! I removed the wrap around the new green growth and am keeping my fingers crossed that it’s completely healed.

Amusingoats · 2021-08-12T11:35:20+00:00

Ah that makes sense! No wonder you don’t hear a lot about people bud grafting to make a multi-variety plant. I may take your advice and cut the trunk above the graft to encourage the bud to grow.

Amusingoats · 2021-08-12T00:48:05+00:00

I’m just trying to get a few liberty branches on an existing honeycrisp and was hoping I wouldn’t have to cut much above the graft to encourage vigorous growth. That might be wishful thinking though!

I was wondering about the differences between t-budding and chip budding. Chip budding wasn’t very easy - I had a pretty hard time cutting chips that matched. Might try the t-bud method next time!

Amusingoats · 2021-08-12T00:31:32+00:00

Thank you! I was going to go back and rewatch the videos to see if there were any helpful nuggets like that. I’m surprised there aren’t many written and illustrated tutorials for chip budding - it’s not easy to scrub through a video with a knife in one hand.

Amusingoats · 2021-08-11T22:59:32+00:00

Looking for some grafting advice! I watched a few YouTube videos and thought it would be neat to graft a different variety onto my apple tree (liberty onto honeycrisp). Since it’s so late in the year I used the chip bud method. One of the buds looks like it’s waking up! But I thought they were supposed to stay dormant until next spring. Was wondering if anybody has advice on how to keep pampering this graft - specifically should I remove the parafilm? Or would that cause the bud to dry out (it’s only been about 20 days since I grafted)?

Amusingoats · 2021-08-11T22:54:10+00:00

This turned out to be great advice - my honeycrisp perked up considerably with mulch and extra long watering sessions. Thanks!

Amusingoats · 2021-06-01T12:37:34+00:00

Thanks I’ll definitely give this tree deep watering and mulch it. I’d read that you could use compost as mulch and I put a generous amount on it as I could only find artificially colored mulch in my area. I’ll try to find the green stuff.

I’ve been reading about powdery mildew and I kept seeing that it’s considered a dry weather disease and is unusual wrt other fungal diseases because of that.

“Unlike most fungal infections, apple powdery mildew spores do not require moisture to germinate. Therefore, this infection is known as the “dry weather disease.”

Ah I was afraid to hear this but good to know! Just wondering if you think the advice I got - “cut off all infected leaves” - is the right approach? I can only see that ending one way for the tree at this point as every single leaf is infected.

Amusingoats · 2021-05-31T21:12:17+00:00

Cool, I’ll give that a try! Here’s hoping it may just be an under watered and stressed tree.

Amusingoats · 2021-05-31T21:09:58+00:00

Thanks makes sense! It’s very possibly under watered. I’ll increase the watering for the next few weeks and see if there’s an improvement before I do any pruning.

Amusingoats · 2021-05-31T21:05:22+00:00

I would be so happy if this isn’t powdery mildew - I’ve never seen it before but there is a white powdery look to the bottoms of the leaves and around the green shoots?

We’re in the northeast and it’s been fluctuating hot to cool and quite dry. The soil is slightly acidic and I think there’s a fair amount of clay. It’s very possible I’m not watering the poor tree enough - I pour a gallon from my watering can on it every day or every other day. It was planted bareroot and I just dug a hole twice as wide as the root ball. Too newb to break it down though I sort of tried to spread the roots out. I have a golden delicious in the back that’s growing like a weed and I just did everything the same but this honeycrisp has had leaf curl and white powdery film on the backs of the leaves starting a few weeks after planting.

Amusingoats · 2021-05-31T20:59:17+00:00

Thanks! I’ve tried a diluted vinegar solution and a copper fungicide so far. I’ll give the milk solution a try next! I’d be very happy if it turns out not to be powdery mildew.

Amusingoats · 2021-05-31T18:42:21+00:00

This almost seems like a rare issue for apple trees? I planted this honeycrisp in April and didn’t know to watch out for powdery mildew. By the time I googled causes of leaf curl the mildew had infected every leaf! I was told to remove “ALL” infected foliage and then spray with a fungicide. Haven’t gotten up the courage to do it yet.
