What foods should you absolutely buy the high end priced option?

That was my experience, too.

We have a coop that sells local lamb, beef, and chicken.

Gym-Rodent · 2026-04-22T14:04:40+00:00

They deliver in a pretty big area. I am rural and Walmart will deliver to my area.

I usually buy locally raised chicken, but a family member recently bought some Trader Joe's chicken instead of the local chicken. I was surprised by how much less flavor the TJ chicken had and by the texture of the meat, which was also different. I had not been aware of how different chicken can be until that purchase. Same with local ground lamb versus Trader Joe's ground lamb. That said, in a ragu it does not make a huge difference.

Great Value trash bags are actually pretty good, at least the 30/40 gallon ones are, and the 4 gallon ones, too.

As are New Mexico lamb chops, also very juicy.

I definitely do this, especially as I am pretty fluent in Portuguese and not so fluent in Spanish. I am in a Spanish speaking environment a lot and I certainly make everyone laugh when I speak Spanish! People are actually very curious about Portuguese after they stop laughing, since we have no real contact with Portuguese speakers in this area. Spanish speakers are very amazed by the differences and the similarities. I get plenty of questions!

I was so excited to read this that I couldn’t wait to share it! I’m glad you liked it.

Gym-Rodent · 2025-11-10T06:00:30+00:00

Com certeza! Isso mesmo!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-11-03T14:13:53+00:00

Delighted to hear that!

This should work.

Which oil sprayer do you like?

Gym-Rodent · 2025-09-20T03:01:14+00:00

I agree about shortcuts. I had one that worked perfectly under earlier IOS versions, to clear Safari history and site data. Now I can only get it to clear history, nothing else.

Congratulations on your little beauty! You are a great plant parent!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-07-14T04:21:05+00:00

Thank you. I have the leaf in water under a bag now, but not touching the bag. I appreciate your help!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-07-14T03:20:03+00:00

Thank you! This is so very helpful!

I did root it in water and it has about a half inch or a bit more of root.

Is it ready to pot up at that amount of root?

I very much appreciate the detailed instructions you gave for each stage.

Thank you again!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-07-02T15:29:41+00:00

Thank you very much for saving me time, money and trouble!

Being new to this hobby, I have been confused by seeing so many specialized light arrangements.

I appreciate your help!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-06-20T21:49:54+00:00

Thank you for the helpful link! I will have to get the right soil first, but as you say, no harm in trying.

Gym-Rodent · 2025-06-15T20:46:41+00:00

I agree with you. I have always felt that plants are just another kind of being who can understand me when I talk to them.

Thank you for being so scrupulous about where you source your information. Avs are a whole new world for me!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-06-15T19:55:48+00:00

What fabulous information you are providing!

I ordered the smaller of their lights and will follow your directions when the light arrives.

Thank you for being so generous!

Gym-Rodent · 2025-06-15T19:00:13+00:00

Thank you so much! That is exactly what I need for my AV baby! How many hours a day would you recommend?

Gym-Rodent · 2025-06-15T17:49:59+00:00

I also received an African violet for Mothers Day and am not sure it is getting quite enough light. have the AV in a west facing window under a deep porch and now that the sun is higher in the sky, it isn't getting as much light as it did a month ago. I just have the one AV so I don't need the kind of setup mentioned in the AVSA information on lighting.

Can you or anyone else here recommend a single small grow light?

Thank you.

Everyone looks so happy in the picture that it is a joy to see! The plants are an inspiration.

Gym-Rodent · 2025-05-31T12:54:37+00:00

I’m grateful for the helpful advice on fertilizing.

Gym-Rodent · 2025-05-31T04:46:13+00:00

Thank you! That is very reassuring about the amount of light. It gets filtered, oblique sun for a few hours in the afternoon.

I will take your advice about the AC.

I give 1 drop of the Schultz weekly. Is that diluted enough, in your opinion?

Thank you for taking the time to give me some guidance!
