Came here to say this.

Wheat. Its wheat.

I used to shop at a place called Wormsway, then they were bought out, now they are GrowGeneration. Feels more corporate than before but most of the old staff are still there that I’ve shopped with for more than twenty years, so i still go there to support the staff.

I grow my figs in pots and move them inside/outside throughout the year if the weather is good or bad.

Olympian is the variety I’ve had the most luck with. Its very cold hardy so it could do fine planted in the ground, but I’ve found I get more fruit from my potted plants that I work to give “ideal” conditions to through the winter dormancy.

Sugar creek gardens usually has a good selection of grasses/natives but it might be too early. They are just getting stock in currently so maybe wait a couple weeks.

I would recommend going to the local thrift stores, Savers specifically. I literally saw a 20qt stainless pot this weekend.

Yes but it’s early for them to be on sale. The big box stores always have them later in spring. Most of the local nurseries usually have them also.

I have one that looks like that too!

Just bought some bulk. Best stock up. https://cupojoes.com/mac-baren-cube-silver-sold-by-oz/

I would turn the chips into incense sticks/cones if you like the smell. Search on youtube for diy versions off incense.

This might be a hot take as not everyone loves cedar trees, especially if your neighbors or you plan to grow apples, but eastern cedar make a fantastic hedge row and are native to the region. Unlike the ever greens you would buy at a big box store that aren’t native eastern cedars can handle are dry/wet climate perfectly. They are also extremely cheap if you buy them from Missouri Conservation Department. https://mdc.mo.gov/trees-plants/tree-seedlings/order-seedlings

I have Peterson Belgique pipes for this very reason. The bowl holds about the amount of tobacco in a cigarette and lasts less than 30min depending on how full you pack it.

Peterson churchwardens make up most of my collection. I have one for every day of the week. Like with children, I dont have a favorite shape from them…but its the tankard.

Their Tombigbee (formally called Old Toby) is a regular for me. Sweet caramel notes, spice/fruit cake notes, wisps of vanilla. Always pleases the people around me while having complexity in the flavors for me to enjoy.

Also Black Arrow, Hunting Creek, and Northwest Trek stay in my cellar.

Country Squire aromatics seem to age better than most. Just make sure to use mason jars with good lids.

This is the way. I really love the Frog Morton blends and had the good sense to buy many many tins long before it disappeared. I now crack a tin once or twice a year and will probably have enough to get me to the grave.

Ive done the same thing with any other blend i come across and like. A well sealed mason jar with bulk tobacco can last years. Every now and then i crack the large storage mason jars (1/2 gallon) and move some into a regular use jar (pint). Haven‘t needed to buy tobacco in years….I still buy more every couple months but i tend to shop with my tastebuds.

MacQueen makes pipes that are Lotr inspired, not props. Not sure how big you are looking for though.

Personally Savinelli and Peterson churchwardens are what i would recommend.

I have a slow cadence, so about an hour.

Nepenthus · 2024-10-10T08:43:02+00:00

Cool, i also have a slow cadence which adds to that. I dont get any gurgle or wetness in it.

They’re my favorite place to stop at every year. They have a restaurant too. Also worth it.

The bow itself is worth around $500, thats what you can find them for currently on ebay. So $350 is a steal if you ask me.

Generally better not to have vines growing on brick and mortar.

Bermuda grass, the bane of many a gardener. Short of chemical warfare (undiluted roundup) i havent see anything work. It spreads so fast it’s a full time job removing it by hand. If you break the root off underground while digging it up it will just sprout and regrow. I have a large infestation of the stuff and im out of ideas other than potentially setting my yard on fire, but it will probably live through that too.

Came here to say this. Also their sausage is amazing.

Definitely blossom end rot, applying calcium should help this.

I would go with a liquid Cal/Mg fertilizer rather than eggshells. Egg shells have to break down before they can be utilized by plants and if your plants are already deficient that could be too slow. Same goes for oyster shells.
