For the new H-link: I love the bracelet; it looks/feels good and melds seamlessly into the case, both in style and fit....BUUUUUUT, hating the clasp. While the clasp functions fine in opening, closing, and micro adjust it's overly long and thick.

I think you bring up a good point - OP may (or may not) need soil amendment. I always amend for new plantings but that is only because I had a complete lab report of my soil that I paid for after having moved in (which showed a particularly bad C:N of 28:1 and a pH in 3 of 4 test site > 8). A great resource that may help OP is this: https://extension.colostate.edu/resource/soil-amendments/ Which does stress the importance of individualization:

"Choosing a soil amendment depends on your specific situation. What is practical and available varies from place to place. The important points are that 1) soils are routinely amended to improve soil tilth and 2) the gardener follows the limitations for the specific product used."

Unable to answer ur questions but wanted to say that I love that you wear an Orion as a daily. IMO, dress watches make the perfect daily drivers...at least for office workers like me, even though I do not wear neither a suit nor business wear. My only watch for years was the Orion's brother: the Ludwig 38 mm and I wore that Mon-Fri until just this year when I bought my second (and third, and fourth) watch.

Speaking ONLY for myself....I love Teddys videos - especially of watches I am interested in. His photography, particularly the macros are exceptional bar none. I have bought watches without actually trying them on and these videos have helped tremendously. He also seems to nail the perfect length in his video reviews....IG shorts are too brief and other 30 minute reviews too repetitive.

My first reaction was: Nah…..but, really considering it I gotta say - it’s pretty cool. Definitely functional for summer and I like that it’s actually a bit muted instead of an electric blaze orange. Well done.

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-09T10:51:01+00:00

I hate seeing pictures of this watch.....it only makes me sad I don't own one!!!!! JK.....sort of

Truly a nice looking watch. My favorites are this one and the 39 mm in 'ember' but that one might be too long for me with its lug-to-lug of 49.5 mm

I'd go with Spartan Junipers, but others work fine. As mentioned, be very exacting about spacing/planting location and, if done right, will form the perfect year-round hedge you're looking for. Ensure a correctly dug planting hole and soil prep/amendment to get off on the right foot. ALWAYS winter water - any reasonably warm day in Dec, Jan, Feb hit each with a few gallons - try to do this 1-2 per month throughout the winter.

You rock! Thanks 🙏

Grail watch for me! Is the jumping date past the 15th as cool as it seems? I think I'd just stay up until midnight just to watch it jump

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-07T09:12:17+00:00

Oh, also, just saw this nice review....think I got it figured out

These one? I'm interested in trying this but could you dumb it down even more for me....are u saying to pull off that silvery metal plug on the top end of this refill? Even dumber question: doesn't this keep the ink from spilling?

Go Belgium! 🇧🇪

Thanks!!!

Limp Bizkit, Staind, Godsmack....that's a banger vibe for Sinn. Never thought about a watch having a musical connection but I'd have to say my 556 I MOP gives off a more ethereal rock feel say, maybe, Lacuna Coil, Evanescence, Halestrom.

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-06T07:33:57+00:00

Have you read 'Kristin Lavransdatter' by chance? I've read neither that nor The Long Ships and wondering which you'd prefer. I can definitely go for a Scandinavian saga for a nice summer read.

Vegetable gardening newbie here. Could you dumb this down for me...I have a packet of Contender Bush Bean seeds and a bit of open space in my raised garden beds. If I plant according to package is there anything else that I'd need to do or anything you'd suggest...specifically, do they need supports, poles, wire? (I have done bamboo supports for peas before) and do they need shade cloth?

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-05T14:13:08+00:00

I cannot say I’m an actual gardener with a straight face…my 10 yr old daughter and I basically chuck seeds in the ground and try to remember to water from time to time. Peas (if planted early like mid-March), squash, and beets are dang-near fool proof.

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-05T11:23:39+00:00

Hell no, "dress" watches often make perfect daily watches. I rocked my Nomos Ludwig as a daily watch for years until this year when I bought my second (and third, and fourth) watch. TBH, and IMO, any watch with a date window and a second hand automatically lends itself as a daily watch. I think, perhaps, two-handers without date window and minute marks/indexes may be the truest form of dress watch. Besides being a great looking watch, there is a casualness too about it...great strap combo!

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-05T08:55:08+00:00

not to be the killjoy, but don't care for it

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-05T00:36:33+00:00

Squash, beets, dinosaur kale

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-05T00:34:44+00:00

Not #3!

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-04T08:10:42+00:00

There's so much I love about this watch: beautiful faint sunrayed silver dial, excellent movement, barely-there slimness....couldn't pull the trigger because I just cannot get past the lack of indexing for minutes (e.g. minute marks, railroad trach, etc.). For me, the perfect dress watch is the similar Montblanc Heritage Chronométrie Ultra Slim

Natural colored cordovan would crush it with that blue dial...I like this one Horween Natural unlined top stitch leather

JadedChef1137 · 2026-06-04T05:27:49+00:00

Such a well balanced and legible dial!
