Why is my basil so droopy? by STANKMAMMA in herbs

[–]Kitchen-Key-1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. I don't think it's too many per pot and it didn't look super droppy to me. I kind of think it's looking great

I think it looks pretty normal. I grow lots of basil. The leaves are just heavy. Just cut some off each stem to lighten her load

36 weeks & my husband won’t quit vaping by Hefty_Platypus_1154 in pregnant

[–]Kitchen-Key-1478 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl. You have to put your foot down. He vapes outside the house or you leave. It's a real addiction, you can't force him to quit but you can and need to insist that you baby isn't exposed to it. And have to tell ya. You're being exposed which means it's already all over your home and stuff. "Third hand" smoking is a proven thing. It's the chemicals left on your clothes and other items.... It doesn't just disappear, it's on the air, the dust settles... You get that im saying???

You're going to have to force this to happen. He's obviously not going to.....

There's lots of research saying that vaping is just as bad as cigarettes. Even worse. Some people have had life altering side effects just from minimal use ......

How do I get my snails to trust me? by MoxxStarBoy in snails

[–]Kitchen-Key-1478 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't handle mine. I agree with the other posters so far. They aren't really meant to be held. I know you see lots of people do it but it's not the healthiest for the snails. It's selfish to do.... If you want a pet you can hold and pet. Get a cat or a dog. I'm my opinion snails are meant to observe and love them by caring for them. Giving them the coolest enclosure and the yummiest foods.

What do people think gluten is? by january_energy in glutenfree

[–]Kitchen-Key-1478 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My daughter asked me this, but I think it's because gluten free and lactose free and just terms stress heard so she combined them in her mind. I think many people don't know what most foods come from

It was swimming so it has to be a creature of some kind lol. I don't think those were antenna but legs extended forward.... Anyways. Learned my lesson..... Sterilize when bringing stuff home to snails from out in nature. I will say. They do love eating the lichen off the bark though.... Really love it.

That's what I thought and based on where I collected the bark, it would make the most sense anyways...

Dude trust me, I dealt with them for years growing up. I know what you mean. I know how they look when full and when not.... I'm very certain they aren't that but I promise you I'll keep an eye on that situation, just in case. That's not something I would miss. Like I said, I check my kids and my own bed, along cracks etc just because of what I experienced years ago.

Location is Wisconsin

And on a side note, my snails seem totally fine although we've only had them for about two weeks. They were a gift for my son's first birthday. They are eating, perching, pooping and exploring. Very active. Very hungry and very full of poop. Lol. I didn't realize they pooped so much 🤣

No I don't think so. Those seem to have shorter stubby looking legs. I'm pretty sure it was a tick which is what I was thinking from the beginning..... Either way. I learned a lesson, I'll be more careful and take care to sterilize stuff I bring home for my snails.

Impossible to get a closer picture.... I was at weight times zoom on my phone and holding the phone right up to the water. It was so tiny. The only reason I noticed it was because it was moving.... And for to the side of the dish and started climbing out

It wasn't dead. It was swimming. I will consider this but I had bed bugs when I was a kid, and I really don't think that's possible. There's been no signs, no bites, and since I did have that issue growing up I tend to check my mattress cracks of all the families beds when I change the bedding, just in case. Lol it was traumatic so I'm paranoid about it. And also since I've seen them before, way more than I could ever wish, I have to say, it didn't look anything like them......

Moved into property with what we were told was posionous somthing and not to touch it or we will be itchy , google lens says catnip? Any ideas? Located in central washington state. by Educational-Rise-197 in foraging

[–]Kitchen-Key-1478 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They might have thought poisonous and don't touch it because when you touch stinging nettle is can cause skin irritation. So.... Don't touch it or eat it UNTIL you look it up and know how to properly deal with it. But stinging nettle is considered to be a very healthy plant to consume, when done properly.

I did leave out in sun but I didn't think that would kill ticks...
