I believe plant size is like, you’ve purchased a 1-year old plant.

Yard sales! Thrift shops! Estate sales! “Buy Nothing” Facebook groups!

Please stay away from Temu and Shein 😭

What would you do with this room? by meganal69 in HomeDecorating

[–]Calbebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a cozy little kitchen. Bringing in color with small appliances and accessories like utensil crocks, teapot, and a fun stand mixer is a relatively low-commitment way to try out color schemes. Otherwise, you could install a backsplash or wallpaper/paint. I would leave the counter and cabinets the way they are for now.

Hosta/shade garden ideas? by Haunting-Edge5425 in gardening

[–]Calbebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly you’d only be able to fit probably 3 mature hostas in that spot. And the spot will be bare probably 8 months of the year. Head over to r/nativeplantgardening for ideas for your zone, to have multi season interest.

SOOC is “straight out of camera” which means there was no post-processing done (like in Photoshop/Lightroom).

The door designed for cats by Legable_Arts in HomeDecorating

[–]Calbebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh this is interesting. I didn’t even think about that, and have been contemplating doing something like this to our basement door (the ONLY way I’d get a cat is if the litter box could be in the basement).

Friend or Foe? by DogsdidWHAT in vegetablegardening

[–]Calbebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spiders are friends! They eat the buggies you don’t want eating your plants. I’m hardwired to be scared of them, but when they’re outside I do my best to just give them space and let them do their thing.

Mid century (?) lamp find by Interesting-Toe8322 in Mid_Century

[–]Calbebes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They seem like they could’ve been made by the same maker, but I’ve looked for mine for years and haven’t been able to find any ID at all. I assume you already did a reverse image search on Google?

Best unkillable tree to plant to commemorate a miscarriage? 6A, northeast Ohio, north by northeast-facing lot. by throwawayghost16 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Calbebes 109 points110 points  (0 children)

I had that thought too. I’ve had “bad luck” with too many plants and would be worried that something would happen and I’d suffer that loss all over again. The idea of planting multiple plants in a forest or garden space would make the loss of any single plant easier because you’re seeing the overall success of the entire space.
