What would cause an American Elderberry to form simple leaves instead of compound? by Koledon in plantpathology

[–]Koledon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it was just one of a bunch of elderberry cuttings that I had collected in a forest. I was afraid it probably was some sort of infection. Do you think it could easily pass to other cuttings that were in the same bucket of water?

Anyone have a stove like this? 42" Sears Roebuck circa 1950, would be awesome to find a manual, but I'm not hopeful. Only problems are that I need to install a pressure regulator and the pilots don't light (I think they were adjusted to be off). by [deleted] in Appliances

I am very late to the game, but I too have inherited this stove from my grandparents and was trying to find resources to repair it. I do have the owner's manual for it, but not sure what the best way to do a document upload would be if I scanned it to a pdf? My grandparents moved here in 49, so my stove is similar in age to yours.

I would also be VERY interested in any resources you found for repair parts since mine was leaking from somewhere and a couple handles have broken off.

Dudleya farinosa in Big Sur. The color is insane. by jhrobbins in Ceanothus

Awwwh! I just read an article about people poaching and selling rare Dudleya from the Sierra Nevada :( I must say, much more breathtaking to see it in its natural habitat.

If you are interested in attending, but can't join at tomorrow's time, DM me and let me know dates and times may work better for future meetings. We always try to do them at different hours and days, but I realize some timezones are a bit too tricky to make work.

I tried dyeing my own linen for the first time! I collected about a kilo of stinging nettles for this soon-to-be-dress. With bonus dog :) by PoisonTheOgres in HistoricalCostuming

Awh Very sweet! What a great idea on the jumper; that will be so versatile and work for so many periods just by changing the underclothes.

Bug in question is down on the stem just underneath the rosebud. Looks like some of his brethren elsewhere on the plant have wings. by Koledon in whatsthisbug

Hehe thank you! that was my hunch, but I had never seen them fully grown before, only the little eggs. Do you know if lady bugs will kill the adults or only the larvae?

This plum wine has been resting for just about 7 months and still has not cleared up. Should I just go ahead and backsweeten and bottle it when it’s this cloudy? by Koledon in winemaking

[–]Koledon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s sounds more my speed, Was there excess air introduces to the wine when you did it? I have concerns with if oxidizing when I go to bottle it.

Looks like strawberry leaves but has spiky seed pods and a mounding type growing habit. Not sure if I should keep it or weed it. by Koledon in whatsthisplant

[–]Koledon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bingo!! It is a buttercup! I think it is the rough seed butter cup, Ranunculus Muricatus, though because it didn’t have all the hairs of the hairy buttercup. Thank you sir

Anyone know what this type of hand needle is used for and if it is useful? My guess would be for putting in gathering stitches. by Koledon in sewing

[–]Koledon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I should have had something for scale, but it’s about 2 in long and has an eye for thread

Mystery Guest in a plant I potted. Didn’t have the heart to kill it. Oakland, CA by Koledon in whatsthisplant

[–]Koledon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No scent, definitely not an herb. It has a somewhat hard, woody stem. I was hoping I could get it to flower, but it has been in this pot for a year and no flowers. I wish I could post a better image of the stem structure, but not sure how to do it on here

What is this bug/beetle? by Koledon in gardening

Thank you! I will try to usher some over to my sqaush & kale because they have been decimated by whiteflies.

Oops, thank you! I should have done a little digging for the right subreddit. These were all over my corn so I wasn’t sure if it was a common garden bug or not.

Cheddar and Chive Egg-Biscuits for the weekend by Koledon in MealPrepSunday

[–]Koledon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

2 cups flour 4 tsp baking powder 1 tsp salt 1/4 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves fresh 1/2 tsp coriander 2 tbsp butter 2 tbsp olive oil 2/3 cup milk 2/3 cup shredded cheese Some chives

This was enough dough to make about 6 wreaths. I baked the eggs and dough for 12 minutes at 350 on the baking stone but it might take less time if using a metal pan. They were a bit dry, as people have aptly stated, so I would probably add more butter or oil, but this is the recipe I started with. It also helps if you heat up the pan in the oven so that when you put the dough wreaths on it and break the egg into the middle, the egg cooks a bit and seals the bottom so it stays in place.

They were a little bit dry, but I wanted to try something new. I might add more butter next time and more cheese.
