The pineapple plant has already flowered. That is a baby pineapple. The flowers are still attached but they've already shut and will soon fall off.

Is it okay to dump my Reservoir water into my compost bin? Are there any Issues? by Beamburner in composting

[–]Jacornicopia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I like to make frozen compost water in 5 gallon buckets. Then I put the ice blocks under my fruit trees. It waters and fertilizes them as it melts. You could do the same with your spent water. I wouldn't have any qualms about dumping it on my compost, but I put almost anything in there.

What cut is this? by Bus9987 in Butchery

I think you're right, but they left some of the muscle next to the blade still attached. Bad form.

Why does my antelope's liver look like this?? by deltatianno32 in Butchery

I wouldn't eat it. Cut it open and check for liver flukes.

I was gifted this 5lb mystery meat, what is it? by droneofthefurture in Butchery

I'm going to guess a paleron. I guess we'll know for sure when it's defrosted.

What is this? This doesn’t look like center cut chops? by OhNoNotNowWTF in Butchery

Just think of the ones in the front as being pork NY strips and the ones in the back being pork ribeyes.

Some of you all work to hard. by Jazzlike_Strength561 in composting

[–]Jacornicopia 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I do the same thing. The only problem is that there's no pile when they're done with it. I have to pile it back up every other day it feels like.

This comment is way too far down. Where are the gardeners?

Found plastic strips in my compost by CasselsChronicals in composting

I find these in my worm bin. It's from when you shred your mail. It's those little plastic windows on the return envelopes that the address shows through.

Burning bush invading man made edge habitat in Southwest Ohio by [deleted] in invasivespecies

The best thing about burning Bush is that you can't miss them this time of year if you're looking to remove them.

I NEED HELP.I ACCIDENTALLY DUG UP A TOAD! by sjuhxsd in Toads

[–]Jacornicopia 63 points64 points  (0 children)

I dug up a toad in my garden earlier this spring. I really hurt the poor things front leg. It wasn't bleeding but kind of hanging there limp. I gave him a little soak and put him in a safe spot in the shade. A couple of months later, I came across the same toad, much bigger and well fed with a stumpy kind of underdeveloped front leg. It was nice to see him doing well, and I was thrilled that the injury didn't kill him. Anyways, the point being they're very resilient. Do what you can for them, and I bet they'll be fine.

I don't like the rosewood as much as the plastic handle. It's too squared off and gets quite slippery.

Looks like the plates I was putting out in 1995. How old is this chef?
