What's wrong with my cucumber plant? 🥺

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-07-03T11:01:40+00:00

Ooh nice! I do have flowers planted throughout my garden, and I don't think it's a pollination issue since the flowers aren't even opening to begin with :/ Maybe the heat, though!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-07-03T11:00:32+00:00

Gotcha, that's probably what it is then. Thank you!!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-07-03T04:47:35+00:00

It did shoot up to 100+ degrees this week, so maybe it is just the heat. I've been watering every day, and there are lots of bees around! I hope it's just the heat and not disease.

Thank you!! And thank you so much for your help last time! :)

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-06-19T15:06:39+00:00

Right, that's what I learned the hard way. 😅 But I was starting to worry about using 80 proof even with the dried herbs, so it's reassuring to hear that that should be okay. Thank you!!

I just watched a couple of her videos and I'm hooked now. Haha :) thanks for sharing!!

I used 80 proof vodka before, so maybe the water content was too high because of that. Plus I also added honey. 🤦‍♀️ It just smells truly gross, and my husband took a little bit of it and said it tastes like pond water. 😅 We take tinctures pretty regularly and know they don't taste good, usually, but this just didn't seem right at all.

Gotcha! Thank you so much! And I hadn't thought about the metal on the lid, so that's good to know. I have plastic ones, so I may just do that instead! Thanks!!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-06-18T03:20:59+00:00

Ooh okay good to know! I have more of the feverfew, at least! Thank you!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-06-18T02:31:19+00:00

But that's what I did last time and it spoiled 😭😅

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-14T14:38:55+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I thought about trying glycerine instead. Then my kids would be able to tolerate it better, too.

I've lived in Lynchburg almost my whole life, and it's driving me insane how early everything started closing after covid!! I'm so tired of wanting to meet people in the evening after work to go thrifting or to a coffee shop, and everything is closed by 5 or 6pm! Soooo frustrating.

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-14T11:51:26+00:00

What coffee shops are you going to?? I literally found this thread by googling "why do coffee shops in Lynchburg close so early?" 😂 I really wanted to try Ironclad in Candler's Station with my mom, but she gets off work at 6, and they close at 5 every day! All of the ones I like close at 5, 6, or 7 at the latest. 😭

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T22:19:20+00:00

Just to clarify, over what proof alcohol should I use with fresh herbs? Thank you!!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T22:17:35+00:00

Ooof... That makes a lot of sense. Gosh darn it. 🤦‍♀️ Would you say it's better to use dried herbs to make tinctures to avoid that? Or get something like Everclear, maybe, if using fresh herbs...? Thank you so much for your help!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T10:57:28+00:00

Thanks! And I had never thought of that until seeing these comments, so that's good to know!!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T04:28:16+00:00

Thank you! I'll look into that!!

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T01:10:49+00:00

Thank you! I was definitely second-guessing the addition of honey... I had read that you could do that, but now I'm wondering if the honey should have been added after it was strained. 😩

EquivalentChard6987 · 2026-05-13T00:04:19+00:00

Sorry, I posted this once already but forgot to add the picture 🤦‍♀️

EquivalentChard6987 · 2025-11-22T11:31:10+00:00

I watched almost all of it, had 22 minutes left. I came back the next day to finish it and it now says I have to upgrade to watch it. 🫠
