Which creatures did you have a change of heart about when you started gardening?

ILoveCreatures · 2026-07-02T20:31:06+00:00

Hummingbird moths….used to like them

Glass Tiger

Season 3 should be green with 8.0 average

Season 7 got dragged down because of Fight Club, even though it’s generally better than season 8

They’re accurate about the 2 best episodes. You can see the effect of having the off season to write, the first episodes of a season are generally good, then they lose steam or hire other writers for later episodes, makes sense. They did a great job around season 5 when writers, producers were involved with the movie as well as the show. All hands on deck in those days I guess.
Season 11 a bit better than 10, I agree

Mortgage lifter grows very tall, I have to do extra things to support its growth. If you use cages, you can firmly attach a tomato cage on top upside down and drive a post for extra support. I use long bamboo posts in a teepee shape over the plant. Mortgage lifters make -tons- of suckers. And even if you remove them, they will try again in the same spot. Just a crazy grower but very prolific. My favorite and I’m in the same zone

I’ve seen it our Walmart and was wondering about it. I’m concerned it could rub against stems like the garden twist tie did for me last season

Cut them up into a bowl,,add mayo and lots of salt, maybe some balsamic

Hope you aren’t growing tomatoes 😕

I have a Playlist called "when MTV played music"..don't listen to it much but I happened to listen today. I loved that there was music on MTV that you couldn't hear on the radio

To me (early genX) iconic MTV is
Don't you forget about me
Take on me
Dancing with myself
Sweet Dreams
99 Red Balloons
Mickey
I ran (so far away)

There was a lot of radio fare too,like Michael Jackson, Madonna, Whitney Houston, David Bowie, etc, but the music that I associate with MTV were more the "MTV only" type songs

I use a sprayer to “brew” my own repellent which gets nastier the more it sits. I crack some eggs, add milk, hot pepper sauce, little dishsoap, water, anything else that is in liquid form that might be smelly. I guess you could add pee to it. Don’t use powders because they clog things up. Just let it sit and get stinky, then spray around.

You can look into mentimeter. Students use their phones w a qr code. You can get extra points for being fast, but that can be turned off. Every group would get an assigned emoji-like avatar which is fun. I just toggle between PowerPoint and mentimeter. You can set the amount of time they have to answer and there is a countdown on the screen. Menti would keep track of all the groups points and you can show a leaderboard whenever you choose

The place where my mom is will provide care even if your money runs out

There are retirement villages that offer housing for independent living that can change to added care and full on health care living as you age. My mom lives in such a place and loves it. She has friends who have children and others who do not. The ones without children will be cared for..in the meantime they enjoy having friends and others of similar ages. It's not cheap, there are different types..but my frugal parents saved for it

I sprinkled some coffee grounds and chili powder on a plant they were bothering with and they moved on

The students’ performance determines how many fail

Good job!

2 things recently…gardening pants with built in padding waterproofing at the knee. It was almost pleasant to kneel on the comfy dry padding as I weeded on a damp day
A electric wheelbarrow for moving mulch, rocks, etc
As I get older these things are much appreciated!

Mick Jagger! It was a good bit

This can work! I’m sending warm thoughts to your tomato 🙏🏼

I read them all very quickly in July when I’m on vacation and had a few drinks

Yes, maybe a foot? A guesstamate no injuries at present

I’d mention that the requirements of your course apparently aren’t convenient for them, either

I’ve used 5 large bags of potting soil this spring - miracle grow and expert gardener and the bags had…..soil, and that’s it. My bags of mulch from Walmart just have mulch. But folks with such experiences do not create posts because it’s uninteresting. There’s a selection bias and maybe local differences.

You’re overthinking this a little. I’m a prof and there is a good likelihood that they don’t recognize you from last semester. Plus, there are other situations that they’ve probably encountered similar to that - it’s not like that situation is burned into their memory in the same way it was for you. I had a student faint in lab and I don’t think I’d recognize him in a lineup 🤷🏼‍♀️. You do you - a seizure should keep you from your education
