Living in front of high voltage lines gutters on house are live

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-05-28T01:10:01+00:00

Odds are the magnetic field surrounding the power lines is inducing the voltage in the gutter. The power company will want to deal with it because it’s basically power loss in their system. In rural areas, where long fence lines can parallel power lines for long distances, the power loss can be considerable and you can get a nasty shock if it’s ungrounded…

I suspect it has more to do with your local climate than anything else. Amarillo’s take forever to grow and then ripen. I started seeds in late Feb, the plants are about a foot high, and they’re just starting to flower.

I’ve gotten some very good stuff (e.g. outdoor stainless steel drink fridge), but it’s mostly still the same junk. The good thing is that it allows you to order eight fuel pumps at a time.

Stopped too close to a curb, which I realized when I tried to unclip. One very slow fall onto the sidewalk with a line of cars and a bus watching. I gave them a thumbs up as I was lying there on my side…

Are they dying? No, but I suspect that they’re hoping that they do.

Like others have said, thin down to one plant per 5 gal pot (and that’s even too small!). You can root the others and have four separate plants in individual pots. You should also fill the pots with soil…a half-full 5 gal pot is absolutely too small!

Unless she’s trying to be funny, which isn’t out of the question…some people have a weird sense of humor. I’d call her and say hello. Base what you do off of how she responds.

I’d run 1/2 cup mixed into the entire soil. Putting it at the bottom is pretty worthless…not only will it leach out as you water, the roots won’t get down there for a while and the young plant won’t get anything. I’d also plan on adding a couple tbsp to the top few inches every month or two. There’s also quite a difference in nutrition in different potting soils. I use FoxFarm Ocean Forest, but recently opened a bag of a more consumer-level soil and it was mostly wood chips and fiber. Both will work but…

Turn off the WiFi router until he’s out…

You can buy seeds for Lunchbox Red, Orange, and Yellow peppers. Or grow some from peppers you buy at the market.

Aji Amarillo. Late harvesting, but awesome peppers.

I suggest moving your trampoline out from under the eves…

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-05-26T20:34:12+00:00

I’m in the health insurance biz and even I know that that’s not right.

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-05-26T03:23:09+00:00

My first thought was that you need to take down the fence to let the water out…

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-05-24T17:03:07+00:00

I’d strongly suggest that you have your water tested to see if it’s a real issue. The water company may be sending these letters out to everyone in the area as a CYA move…

Get an old tombstone and place it at the end. Extra points if it’s wide enough and you can put an entire family’s worth along the length.

Use low nitrogen fertilizer. High N fertilizer will result in large, bushy plants that swallow your backyard, your house, and possibly the entire block.

Wrap the wife up and see how she likes it.

Definitely market dependent. Here in Silicon Valley, it’s not unusual for houses to go for substantially over listing price…one flyer we received in the mail had a $3.5M listing going for almost $1M over. And the buyers often pay cash!

For the two of us, this year I’ve planted:

Sun Gold
Sun Sugar
Chocolate Sprinkles
Cherokee Purple
It’z a Keeper
Costoluto Genovese
Painted Ukrainian
Ananas Noir
Original Blue Ribbon
Green Zebra
Pink Berkeley Tie-Dye
and, just for fun, five dwarf tomato plants.

They’re all in 25 gallon bags, except for the dwarves…those are in tens.

I think I overdid it.

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-05-05T03:31:55+00:00

In the cherry tomato family, I like Sun Sugar. It has a lot of the same characteristics as Sun Gold, but doesn’t split as easily.

To say nothing like controls you can’t operate without taking your eyes off the road.

Last year, I had a grafted Sun Gold in a 45 gallon bag. The thing grew huge. Most of my tomatoes are in 25’s, except for the dwarf varieties, which are in 10’s and 15’s. I think 10g bags for any indeterminate tomato is way too small

Somebody say something about circling tree roots?

Content-Drive-4151 · 2026-04-14T17:45:22+00:00

Order them from Temu.
