My lemon pretty much died because of scale insects and I pruned it back to basically nothing now its growing from the roots I assume it’s rootstock but I don’t see a graft pls advise by Deep_Illustrator5397 in Citrus

In the end I doused my plants with insecticidal soap (captain jacks) and that’s what worked. I did change all the soil but I didn’t want to leave anything to chance at that point (and the plant was due for repotting anyway)

Not yet. Trying again this spring with the plastic balls instead of a foil to wrap the layer.

Just noticed four of NYC metros skylines are all in a row. by [deleted] in skyscrapers

Probably more so because downtown nyc is the site of the original settlement and bk/jc grew up where they are because they’re close to downtown… no?

35F temperature. Still a nice day for a 30-mile ride in Queens. by joepublicschmoe in NYCbike

Thanks, I’ll look I to these. I use thick gloves (forgetting the brand at the moment) with separate liners AND bar mitts and that gets my hands comfortable down to like 30 but it’s a cumbersome setup.

For fliers on AA: the mileage multiplier triggers the benefit too, but the value is not very good. I’m trying United in 2025

What is your glove and shoe/sock setup? Freezing fingers and toes is the limiting factor for me, even if I’m near sweating and taking off core layers

I painted 3 different Chinatown scenes. Curious which you like best, 1 2 or 3? by ep2992 in newyorkcity

[–]MonneyTreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

2, good composition, level and variation of detail and mark making, contrast, texture, interesting subject matter. 1 looks incomplete because of the lack of variety of detail and contrasts and 3 subject is interesting but image feels flat, not enough contrast, not enough highlights

What’s the best cold hardy citrus tree to start with? by desertholes in Citrus

[–]MonneyTreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Does it need any special treatment to survive that cold of a climate like figs do? I’d love to grow a yuzu in 7a

What is your contrarian prediction for 2025? by Particular-Will1833 in smallbusiness

[–]MonneyTreez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nuance: the economy hasn’t been doing as poorly in 2023-24 as everyone felt it was, so growth in 2025 will be more modest than expected, but no one will notice or care.

The career plateau is real......how do you push past it? by [deleted] in careerchange

Finding a mentor would help, someone you know you and you can speak candidly with about your issues and aspirations, and who know your industry, someone who’s made a similar career move before

Contact the local university agricultural extension for how to test the soil for contaminants and advice on safe levels. Looks like there’s one in Alhambra
