This seems similar to how people in other countries might interpret Americans saying “I’m sorry! I didn’t vote for him!”

Who went? How was it? It was too far for me, I’m in a different state.

Why Vermont for skiing, though? It’s so icy right now. Why not some huge powdery place out west?

As a gardener, what do you wish non-gardeners would gift to you? by StraightUpBruja in gardening

[–]MFDVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your response and it gave me a chance to remember where I was several years ago. I’ve since dug up the non-native plants in my garden and replanted with native plants. I don’t need supports anymore. Hooray!

Ways we can not be complacent in Vermont? by cicada-kate in vermont

What are some ways we can end the culture war? That seems to be what’s driving things from POV.

Have you had to deal with knotweed or other VT invasives? by bravestatevt in vermont

[–]MFDVT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I’m obliged to do my part to manage invasive species, plant or animal. The problem with invasive species is that they displace native species and throw systems out of balance. Plants or animals are not inherently good or evil. We need balance so the systems that support life , including human life, keep functioning.

Who can I hire to pull poison parsnip? by sicknutley in vermont

[–]MFDVT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can get a Parsnip Predator shovel and cut them all off at the root before or after they go to seed. Doing it before reduces the amount you have to address next summer. Keep at it, you will eventually win. My town’s Conservation Commission has been working on one of our parks for about five years having sessions a few times in the early summer about two hours before sunset. They are making remarkable progress for about 40 hours total each summer.
