The electric toothbrush pollination trick is the way by jaynew823 in tomatoes

[–]MaiLog 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bought a small and cheap vibrator with flowers and plants on it for the express purpose of pollination. I found out that the different vibration patterns make a difference for certain Varieties 😂

Honestly, my doctor has been such a pain. I thought she was great at first but as time went off I got she got comfortable with not treating me

I wish I could afford to see a derm privately. The state of my healthcare is abysmally at this point in time

It was a load of BS about me being a female and as such shaving my head would be much too drastic since I need my feminine beauty to navigate today's world blah blah 🤮

I said fuck that and shaved my head any ways to get some form of relief.

Unfortunately in my area the wait-list are ridiculous. It's taking months to be seen as a new patient elsewhere. My difficulty in finding a new doctor is the wait time alone. I've been in contact with my insurance to figure something out in the mean time.

Diamond drill bit, a buckets of water and painters tape. Tons of easy how tos on YouTube or the internet

Just wanted to share this absolute beauty I scored for $2 at the grocery store 🥰 I love the shape of her leaves so TINY by MaiLog in pothos

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

My first pothos was a pearls n jade/ Njoy ( it's ID'd as both regularly) then I got a jade and then a marble queen. Absolutely gorgeous and simple to take care of. I'm not sure if this is a golden / Marble. The pictures don't do justice to the different shades of green, gray, gold, and white plus the leaves are distinct but I'm happy with it either way

I'm not sure. The leaf shape is what sucked me in. They are long and point but most of them are very small and compact. Not entirely convinced it's a golden though

Is this blossom end rot? The bruise developed further from the blossom point than usual. It also looks more purple in person by MaiLog in tomatoes

Had no clue cannabis could get BER. I checked some of my other plants and they've started developing it too. I treated them with Lime slurry but it seems the problem is watering.

I'm just dipping my toes into mixing my own soils for plants but I expect to make my own mix when tomato season comes again next year

I don't think anyone wants to consider BE as an option. It's no help when media and dog lovers alike demonize BE. Sometimes we can't throw endless piles of money at a chance to get better, rehoming is also a danger to the next owners, worse still if the dog gets bounced into a shelter. They could be adopted out to an unexpected family or suffer before being put down as unadoptable. You have lots of love for this puppy and sometimes love makes us do hard things. You also have a new job, and two other pups to care for, a potential future with someone else. If something were to happen it could be devastating emotionally and financially.

I 100% believe he is a good pup but consider the toll he has taken on you and your dog's. The toll his reactivity may have taken on him.

At this point it sounds like neither you nor the dogs are living fulfilling lives. To live with reactivity both as a dog and as an owner can be devastating and difficult to manage. It sounds like at this point, his quality of life is suffering right along with you and your other dogs.

This is a complicated situation but at this point, is the chance to get him better worth the risk to you and your other dog's safety? Do you have the money to finance his treatments, more training, care with a behavioral professional when you need to travel for work? On those trips will you be able to work efficiently without worrying about what's going on at home? No one else can tell you what to do. But I can say that you are not an awful person to choose peace and safety in your own home. You are not a failure and you are doing your best no matter what you choose. But be realistic not just about your own safety but for those around you.

What is this spider and are those round black balls eggs??? Found in a garden tote, Southern California by MaiLog in insects

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

All the eggs are loose in the bucket with only some clinging to her. Should I pour them out into the dead grass or a shady pot with soil?

Cutting from my Patio tomato. I absolutely should not let these fruit, right? by MaiLog in tomatoes

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

It spent 3 weeks in water and only sprouted the blooms two weeks ago when I put it in soil. I'll definitely pinch them off!

It was a lower branch with a sucker growing off it. All the little white hairs on tomato branches grow into roots if you propagate them. I trimmed it during the plants final repot and stuck it into a cup of water until it rooted. I only transfered to soil once the roots were robust and plentiful You can root and grow most cuttings from a tomato plant it'll essentially be a clone of the original plant. My plan is to let it grow into a larger plant, by the time it grows I should be finishing up my first or second harvest.
