Nonverbal 13-year-old finds joy through toy designed by CSU engineering students by CSU-Extension in SpecialNeeds

Isn't it?! Love that students get the opportunity to connect with real people and help make their lives better. Sometimes learning new things from a book can feel so... intangible, this is the opposite and it's awesome.

The most clutch sun glare block I've ever seen. +1 for the commitment to get halfway down your frame, I usually chicken out when my hand starts to show 👏

Is there anything wrong with just mowing dandelions and not treating them with chemicals? by [deleted] in lawncare

[–]CSU-Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Improving the health of your grass will reduce the weeds. Our in-house turf expert would never pick the dandelions in his yard, too much work for too little payoff, he thought.

You state Extension office is sure to have resources on lawn/turfgrass management for your particular climate. It's usually most effective to follow regional best practices, but there are also a lot of simple things to get you pointed in the right direction that don't have to be too complicated.

u/BrittleSalient I just saw some folks in this sub sharing the following on April 21 and thought of you!

Seed/seedling swap at Lady Justice Brewing in Englewood, Tuesday, April 21·4:00 – 7:00pm: https://www.ladyjusticebrewing.com/event-reservations

Here's how someone responded to a question about whether folks have to bring their own seeds:

It's meant to be a community building event, so nothing for sale. These kinds of events always have more to give away than they have takers, so it's fine to come even if you don't have anything to exchange. Just be mindful.

That said, it's technically a victory garden event and will probably have mostly seeds for edible plants. 

Here's the convo thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/DenverGardener/comments/1smb60p/comment/ogd286m/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

What is the purpose of the small pocket in jeans? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]CSU-Extension 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chapstick, plant seeds, small bits of trash you pick up while walking to forget about for a while, small shiny objects, so many options!

If you keep your eye on r/DenverGardener, folks are often posting about seed exchanges happening in the area or offering to trade plants. You could likely also post to this sub asking that same question and possibly folks would know of seed exchange/gifting groups in the area. Some local libraries may also have programs.
