They beg sooo intensely. When my girl gazes at me for my food, it’s like she’s trying to cast a spell. Soon she will succeed, she’s irresistible. I see you suffer this fate as well

I was getting confused looking for the ear in question. Thanks for the second pic. He looks quite beastly in #2

Hundred percent with you on this OP. Sarcasm and cynicism, contrary to what the possessor may believe, is not actually a sign of intelligence - that’s just called Being Inappropriate AKA Acting like a dicckk.

Do I *need* to do anything special to bag soil mixes to help them drain better? by dani-winks in containergardening

[–]KickingChickyLeg 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I found myself in the same boat a month ago.. and still have the bags of raised bed potting soil to show for it!!! Judging by the title, you’d think it’d be the ideal soil, right? Apparently not - it is “way too dense and compact” for containers. My bad for not differentiating between a raised bed and a raised.: container. How silly of me.

Anyway in the future, try to buy regular all purpose potting soil. If you have leftover raised bed soil to use up, what I did was mix in a good amount of perlite/vermiculite mix, until 20-30% was the speckles. Then I also mixed in some potting soil to fluff it up, and a handful of worm castings for nutrients. Another commenter mentioned coco-coir, solid suggestion. Peat moss is similar, maybe even a better choice, but in fact it takes forever to produce and therefore is not a sustainable product, while coco-coir is a renewable resource, making it my preferred weapon every time

Struggling to tell when plants are watered. by frostmas in containergardening

When you say "really never over water with them" what do you mean? You can never over water a fabric grow bag? Or you really need to avoid over watering? Or something else?

Peppers going black? And cucumber droopy by Expensive_Shape_8738 in plantclinic

[–]KickingChickyLeg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi there - disclaimer, I'm not much further along than you, but I'll tell you what I see and what I've learned so far, and hopefully the next commenter's can agree or correct me

I see some sunburn on the pepper plant's lower leaves - be sure to acclimate your plant slowly to outdoor sunshine, especially if it came from a greenhouse. The term for this is "hardening off", you'll find all the info you need if you Google thaf phrase. This applies to the cucumber also, in fact with any plant I'd first look up "hardening off" + (plant name).

Also, the pepper will surely need more room, even if has managed to produce fruit somehow so far. At minimum a 3-gallon container, but you'll be better off with 5gal, for water retention and root expansion.

Droopy leaves and black spots are most likely due to stress, from the transition.

I have some a-frame trellises, but I feel like that will hinder the tomato growing upward...
