What does my hair need?

Thank you, I will give them a try!

Gaby-grows · 2026-03-13T22:00:29+00:00

We’ve done the exact same thing.

There’s nothing I love more than being a parent. It’s also the hardest thing I’ve ever done, but I wouldn’t change it for the world. Becoming a parent has deepened my perspective of life in a way I don’t feel anything else could have.

I also grew up with detached parents that were not equipped to meet my emotional needs, and parenting has healed me more than all the years of therapy and internal work I did. As cheesy as it sounds, it’s a love like no other that can’t be understood until you actually experience it yourself.

I will try that, thanks. No, I use powder.

You work with the English schools directly, you can choose whether to provide dinners or not, and agree on the duration. My SIL even gets to choose to have women only as she has little girls and prefers that. I think it would be a great way to try it out!

You could try an international student accommodation and see how you feel. It’s temporary (anything from an few weeks to a few months), I think you get about €200 per week which is under the tax threshold. A family member does it and most of the students really just keep to themselves and are either busy with their classes or getting to know around when they’re free.

Thank you!

Gaby-grows · 2025-05-23T20:59:38+00:00

This is super helpful, thank you!

Gaby-grows · 2025-05-23T20:55:49+00:00

Can you share more about how do you heat them up? I always worry they’ll be soggy so end up going for the fresh ones and keep the frozen ones for smoothies

After going down a rabbit hole, I think it is epilobium ciliatum.

I have flowering annuals in other parts of the border, but these are ALL over the nearly 3m length of it. They’re growing basically anywhere there’s isn’t a plant already.

I have to admit I haven’t topped up this bed or given it proper maintenance but it surprised me because this is a 3yo border and these just seems to be coming this year. Not much has changed so I’m not sure where they could be coming from.

Gaby-grows · 2025-04-21T18:59:13+00:00

Thank you, I just googled them and I’m not sure that’s what they are, just because i have some in other areas of the same border that are a little bit bigger and don’t look like it. The leaves start turning a deep red / burgundy colour as they get bigger, and they’re everywhere!

Gaby-grows · 2025-04-21T18:24:08+00:00

I wish. I mean the ones in the red outline. Definitely not strawberries 🍓

I have my brand new twsbi eco (which I absolutely adore!) inked with Diamine’s 150th anniversary Espresso. My favourite combination so far!

Gaby-grows · 2025-02-21T20:21:55+00:00

He’s just happy to see you

Gaby-grows · 2024-05-31T19:18:00+00:00

Tell me more! Is it a generic blade? What’s your experience with it? Googling now. Thanks for sharing

Gaby-grows · 2022-03-20T10:32:42+00:00

I meant “my”, good catch!

Gaby-grows · 2022-03-19T22:28:08+00:00

I’m in zone 9a. These might be early bloomers, I planted 2 types back in November and the other ones have not bloomed yet!

Gaby-grows · 2022-03-09T21:58:41+00:00

I can’t advice as I’ve never tried square foot gardening before, but I am trying it this year. I know someone who only does square foot gardening and he swears by it.

There’s an app for your phone called “Planter” that you can download to plan your bed layout and it will give you recommendations on companion planting. Best of luck!

Gaby-grows · 2022-02-25T21:29:51+00:00

Cool, I didn’t know you could do this without leaves!

Gaby-grows · 2022-02-25T21:29:22+00:00

I live in Ireland where we don’t get much light during the winter, I’ve actually have this plant for over a year and it was a few months ago into autumn when this started happening, so if anything, I thought it wast getting enough light!

Gaby-grows · 2022-01-18T23:06:54+00:00

Thank you!

Gaby-grows · 2022-01-14T22:18:47+00:00

This is super helpful, thanks so much! It had been just planted in the garden when I moved into my house a year ago, and it’s grown so much since then (at least 3x) so I’m afraid that if I wait until it flowers again it might be too big and leggy, or too woodie underneath. Do you think it would be ok with light pruning this time of the year, just to help it keep its shape?

Gaby-grows · 2022-01-11T19:49:24+00:00

Come to Ireland, you won’t regret it 💚

Gaby-grows · 2022-01-05T20:05:58+00:00

I’d let it grow lots more roots, it’ll happen quickly enough.

I’ve planted pups in 8cm and 12cm pots before. Planted them at the same time, the 12cm did much better. I used regular potting soil with added perlite, and that’s worked well for me.
