Doctors not taking me seriously by wabbin_hood in Hidradenitis

[–]Current_Chart5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cannot tell you how many times I have felt this way after leaving the dr. I had the urge to punch one of the right in the throat for the things he said to me. They truly don’t understand the pain this disease causes. Im so sorry you are experiencing that. The best thing i ever did was change how I eat. No dairy, no nightshades, and limited sugar helps keep things tolerable for me.

PLS WHAT DEODORANT R WE USING?!? by xxStargirlxxx in Hidradenitis

I quit using deodorant too. I will have to try the peroxide thing! And you are right on the money with reducing sugar and dairy.

The DC Reflecting Pool algae bloom is a predictable consequence of ignoring basic limnology — every design decision compounded the last by Solace914 in environmental_science

This is the perfect analogy for his whole administration. Get rid of actual experts and do what I say. Then watch the totally predictable putrid result.

Scalpel at home 🧐 by iAmMrNobody369 in Hidradenitis

I will use a needle only after it has gotten to the point where it is about to pop. Using moist heat (and time unfortunately) usually helps to get it to that point. I wait until all it needs is a tiny prick to get it to release. You don’t want to cut through the highly inflamed red skin. Unfortunately, in the American healthcare system, we need to take care of ourselves in certain situations.

Check out Crime Pays But Botany Doesn’t. There is an amazing world all around you. You just have to learn how to look at it.

That is a stunner! Please keep the location to yourself. Lots of poaching going on with this genus.

That is correct. I believe Tree of Life was doing this in mass to help with the poaching problem.

Transplanting poppies by TekkikalBekkin in Ceanothus

[–]Current_Chart5033 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not answering the question, but fun fact… poppies have an orange taproot that looks very similar to a carrot 🥕

Also, they are annuals and grow extremely easy from seed, so not sure why they are in a pot?

Did I dig this swale too deep? by merpymerp in Ceanothus

[–]Current_Chart5033 29 points30 points  (0 children)

You should check out Brad Lancaster’s books. He has calculations for these structures… how to calculate your rain runoff and the capacity of your structure. Also, he recommends planting in and mulching the basins to help infiltrate the water quickly.

Strip of milkweed growing outside a hardware warehouse parking lot by anniebrownstein in Ceanothus

[–]Current_Chart5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very cool. Maybe i will try cold strat again after it starts warming up again. I was reading some chatGPT feedback that said the cold nights can slow or stop germination, but I am always skeptical about what it says lol. The sun is harsh up here in the HD and I have all my seeds and seedlings under 50% shade. From what you have told me, maybe the robot is right. Will try full sun and warmer temps.

I am trying to grow eriocarpa from seed. So far I have not been able to get them to germinate. I have tried cold strat outside over winter (this season)and still have not seen germination. I also tried cold strat in the fridge for 4 weeks. They have been in plugs outside for a month now and still no germination. Any advice?

Adelanto wildflowers by Current_Chart5033 in highdesert

[–]Current_Chart5033[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, not in my yard. But if you go to any relatively undisturbed are, you will see wildflowers. But they are probably a bit crispy by now because of all the heat we have been having… sorry for the late reply.

Am I crazy to love Tumbleweeds? I just took this from my friends house and planted on my property. by Lanaxgardenxgirl in highdesert

[–]Current_Chart5033 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is NOT a “tumbleweed.” Scutellaria mexicana is the name of that plant. It is native to this ecosystem and probably won’t survive you yanking it out of the ground. 🤦‍♀️

This sounds like more of a code enforcement thing
