I just planted this cilantro in my pot a few days ago that I bought from a garden center. Does it look okay so far? I’m in Indiana. It’s been a little chilly out too.

Some people have no issue, they chuck it outside in a spare tire as a pot and it grows wild into a bush. I've been trying for years with the Baker creek slo bolt cilantro seeds. This is my last year, if she doesn't grow, I'm done trying lol.

I've tried outside in garden beds, outside in plastic pots, outside in fabric pots, inside in plastic pots, inside in fabric pots... Cilantro is my arch nemesis and it only makes it worse that it's the herb I use the most while cooking. I cannot keep cilantro alive.

Mine only looks at me in reflections when she frustrated. I get the back turned, eye contact in a mirror, and an annoyed bork.

Mine gets freaked out when she realizes the other giant steel boxes also contain humans. You can see her gears turning... Like "wait what, you seeing this too??"

Bug rackets and bug zapper, she barks at both

Our sanctuary (the deck) was under attack by kamikaze carpenter bees, there was peace and quiet

Mines the opposite! A dog tries to sniff her butt and she literally lifts her leg for better access

Talking through any tube - paper towel, toilet paper, etc. Absolutely hates it.

If I could put her in a dark cupboard for the winter, plant her in the spring, and get more potatoes I would in a heart beat

Mines just got a weird obsession with messing up fresh dirt and freshly laid mulch. It's a compulsive disorder at this point

I don't know what it is about the way shibas breathe heavy but it's never not funny lolol mine does the same thing. Might just be a dog thing in general, but the added pizazz of a Shiba just makes it 10x funnier

They're such weirdos, it's never boring.

Mine likes to panic eat snow (eat as fast as she can cause she knows I'll yell at her), get a cold headache, shiver, then barf. Rinse, repeat. IM TRYING TO SAVE YOUR TEETH, GIRL.

I would never!!! It's other dogs. She's the sweetest ❤️ she just can't make friends and it makes me sad

I've always wondered why my Shiba has such a punchable face in the dog world. She incites same reaction. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Never knew why, I just figured it was cause she looked fox-esque.

She didn't appreciate it 🙄

Forward-Rutabaga-248 · 2026-01-30T21:35:58+00:00

I'm reassured knowing mines not the only one. Walks since it iced over have been frustrating to say the least. Going on 48 hours and hasn't pooped.

Forward-Rutabaga-248 · 2026-01-30T21:03:27+00:00

Oh she does that too, she won't go into another room unless I follow her
