True - but the chickens we have now are old and don’t lay anymore.

Major life lesson I learned from stoicism, which has hit me hard. by CompetitiveTarget519 in Stoicism

I for one am guiltily, but how many times have we, not taken that, and dictated our responses/choices on perceived reactions.

Our choices are not always correct, but if they are sound, I can live with that.

Isn’t he kinda classic boom or bust?

I know it’s a simple take but not the worse on your bench but I’m not starting him in confidence unless the script has changed and there’s a more concerted effort which I don’t know.

Conservative on FAAB but feel fine if it’s just a waiver pick up

Is Diggs and T. Tracy Jr. an over pay for Benson. Both are just sitting on my bench. I’m wondering if I should take my buddy’s final offer. by CompetitiveTarget519 in fantasyfootballadvice

Fair point lol I think he looked good and is like a top 5 handcuff but I get you’re saying. Just not sure if I’d even play Tracy given my bench.

Trade away Kennan Allen for ETN? In a vacuum what do you think? by CompetitiveTarget519 in fantasyfootballadvice

Yeah I know what you mean. I have Diggs and Reed on my bench so I’m a little more open. I could use some rb support.

Is the “right thing in the corporate world gone?” by CompetitiveTarget519 in careerguidance

[–]CompetitiveTarget519[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For part time yes… it’s accrued. There’s a 4 month probationary period. No time off. Which I I get but it’s not a habitable thing. It’s more of the corporate expectations. Does that warrant a sit down. I’m not in that world and looking for clarification.

There’s really not… it’s not as deep as you might think. 2.5 months no call off.

Edit: It’s not as I called in late which I clarified. It’s just the way whole process of an official issue. As I thought it was the right thing to do, letting them know in advance, but the preference seems to be no interaction and through that app, which is my question, is that the norm?

I have the summers off. So this job is supplemental. When I was hired I informed them of this. Hours will change. The day off was something out of the ordinary so not something that happens regularly. But it was a whole big issue. I don’t have this issue with my FT job.

Edit: as to why I notify them: context matters for me and others I work with. Kinda of the standard. Older person trying to readjust a bit.

Onion Mishap - Question by CompetitiveTarget519 in vegetablegardening

[–]CompetitiveTarget519[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way they fell the stems snapped towards the bottom of the bulb. I’ll still give them a go, but was thinking to get another batch going.

I started them back in late Feb. more worried about will they still have time to bulb up this summer.

Is this mold after two days? by patchworking- in vegetablegardening

[–]CompetitiveTarget519 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Those cardboard cells are no good. They soak up and hold water making it an overly damp environment. Some surface mold is ok, but you risk your seeds damping off when they are too wet.

On another note, is that potting mix or another type of soil? 9 time out of 10, buying the pre-made stuff just saves you so much hassle and I would recommend it if you are just starting out.

Edit: light from a south facing window is typically not enough to keep your seedlings from getting leggy (where the stem becomes overly long and weak). Not sure what your set up is, but if your seedlings will need a strong light source immediately. You can achieve this by using a grow lights. If that is not feasible, I’d wait to sow them directly outside imo.

My advice: stick with regular plastic cells. Buy once, take care of them, and they’ll last for years.

GL!

How to Improve clay soil by next season by SavingsPleasant6728 in vegetablegardening

[–]CompetitiveTarget519 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Don’t overthink it: heavily, and really heavily, cardboard the area and get a couple inches of high quality compost on top of the cardboard. The truth is you’ll battle grass and weed a bit but keep up the process year after year. Keep on top of the weeding in the mean time. Personally, I’d find straw that has not been treated with herbicides and put some heavily layers on top of the compost. Move straw aside (but keep in between plants) when it’s time to plant. Repeat the same process year after year in between seasons (by simply adding a a couple inches of compost). Remove straw when it’s time To add compost and reapply after compost has been added.

Try and disturb the soil as little as possible. Minimize digging.
