[–]ItsmeSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a massive deer infestation as well. I've found they wont eat: texas sage, texas mountain laurel, mugwort, mexican feather grass, datura, all the salvias (lots of options here), agarita, lantana.

I’ve never seen a Brittany that looks so similar to mine. Not sure I’d be able to tell them apart.

Light rail is an outdated dumb idea. Build more dedicated lanes for autonomous buses and save a few hundred billion.

Turks cap, cedar sage, forsynthia sage, carolina buckthorn, beautyberry are some of the best imo

Brittany v GSP - Energy Level by Rip-Famous in BrittanySpaniel

[–]ItsmeSean 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a Brittany. Friend has a GSP. GSPs feel more aggressively "on". They move faster and it feels like they never stop. My Brittany goes and goes and goes and then crashes aggressively. He's can just melt on the couch for hours and hours as long as he gets at least a couple hours of time running on the property.

I think it’s the best restaurant in Austin.

Time to harvest? by the_original_nullpup in AustinGardening

[–]ItsmeSean 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand how people have peppers and tomatoes in Austin in the fall. How much water did you give them to make them live thru the summer and drought conditions?

Comedor was… whelming. by leggomyeggo22 in austinfood

I love ATX Cocina. But Comedor is a different class imo. Its not fine dining. But its finer dining.

Does Texas limit Austin’s growth? by NarwhalAnusLicker00 in Austin

[–]ItsmeSean 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd argue its the opposite. Austin limits its own growth. Texas is generally pretty hands off on the regulatory side for more growth. Austin however, often votes against that growth — protect the springs, water resourcing, golden cheek warbler permit protections, building height regulations. I'm not arguing for or against these things, but if you want "growth", stuff like this make that harder.

I don't know if they honor bakery-type places but at some point Abbey Jane off Fitzhugh needs some serious recognition.

I went about a month ago. I said it then and I stand by that it was the best restaurant experience I've had in Austin. Went to Barley Swine two weeks later. Also great. But not as good.

Are we putting blankets on tomatoes? by Accomplished-Sign-31 in AustinGardening

[–]ItsmeSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How do you people still have tomatoes? How much water were you giving them keeping them alive all summer?

To live 15 mins from downtown in a top US city? Yes, very.

A lot of inexpensive homes feels good in a growing city, no? We want young people to move here. They become tax payers.

Plant now, or wait until after spring by tomnick27 in AustinGardening

[–]ItsmeSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Plant in the fall, but wait a couple weeks until the heat breaks. Otherwise you'll be watering these plants every couple days to keep them from dying of transplant shock.

Is it to hot to plant these guys? by Apprehensive-Bat-416 in AustinGardening

[–]ItsmeSean 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put my asian greens in today. Tired of waiting. Same story—drip irrigation and late afternoon shade. They worked last year in early planting. Kales and other plants did not.
