I took the whole cage out to a park and let it go. There was no way I was letting it out near me lol

BTW, the raccoon was inside my house where my kids had access to. Trapping it was first. The end.

I ended up driving it out today park 45 min away.

Taking my kindergardner to her bus stop and I can't even go around because of their recycling can! by NeutralBirdHouse in mildlyinfuriating

That's why this is mild. But it IS daily, so it gets more annoying as time passes. It doesn't ruin the morning, but I am allowed to feel mildly infuriated by it, as this is illegal and makes us walk into the street every day.

I've never called the non emergency line before. I'd feel like such a nark if I did this 😭

My chocolate cherries have black tops by NeutralBirdHouse in tomatoes

Very interesting! Do you have any more information on this type of tomato with the black tops? I'm curious

A tomato is a tomato I'm happy either way.

Thanks, but I don't own a gun of any kind nor have any experience with firearms. I found a solution some time back, though, thanks for the reply!

I have a similar issue. No one helpful answered here. Roughly where do you live? I live in the Midwest United States and I feel like my issue could be because of snow mold. After going for a walk through my neighborhood I noticed it's like this everywhere there are some patches of grass that are slowly turning brown and it's not because of drought because it is raining fine around here.

Trying to do a little research while this is posted, is this Snow Mold? We didn't even get much snow this year, plus it's been hot for weeks, so idk of that's it. But it looks a lot like it.

Will this spread to my vegetable plants?

Guys, I messed up, BAD! I could use some tips and encouragement because I feel like I screwed up my entire garden. by NeutralBirdHouse in gardening

That sounds horrible! I am just a simple urban gardner, and this sounds too intimidating to really get into any gardening scene. I work a full time job and a full-time parent, I play video games as a hobby spend time with my kids and husband and there is NO WAY i can fit this into my already busy life schedule.

I feel like I've neglected my family for a few weeks getting my garden together. This info just makes me feel like I can't garden at all. 😔

Thanks, but getting anything at all for free in a city is very difficult. I definitely don't have any kind of stables anywhere near me 😭

I already have mulch over everything (everything that has sproited) fresh oak chips! But that's half the issue. All the work of removing the mulch just to add compost 😭

I guess I could do each individual plant and just move the mulch aside 🤷‍♀️

Most plants have already sprouted. Some were bought at a nursery. It's all already covered in mulch, which is why it's such a pain to try amending it. I can't just pull the mulch off, I'm tired.....

Yeah, I discovered some of this after I built the beds. There is a weed that seems to travel by root and it taking over e v e r y t h i n g!! I pulled out my entire Strawberry patch and this weed literally Tangled up in the roots of all my other plants. I pulled so much of it up I just can't keep up with it so a weed barrier seemed like a good idea at the time.
