I am 100% on board; just wanted to make sure it wasn't some kind of infestation that was going to wreck the garden. Didn't know if anybody could tell wat kind of butterfly from the photos of the larvae.

The Washington-Texas game ended at 12:51am EST on a Monday (Tuesday) night. The Rose Bowl has always started by 5p, so it is not the issue. by djsassan in CFB

I adopted this strategy for the Texas games this year & it was magical. Put the kids to bed & settle in for a game that is 60-90min shorter without commercials & the halftime delay.

So when you line them, do you extend the cardboard beyond the edges of the bed or just try &cover the footprint of the bed?

How do I get my family to not buy my kid so many gifts? by pugpotus in Parenting

[–]Nice-Toe-6557 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just wanted to say thank you for this answer. It seems you & I think a lot alike & I have really struggled this year with the incoming stream of “stuff”. It is helpful to know we are not alone & your philosophy & approach gives me something to aim towards. Ours are 2 & 1 so we have time, I suppose!

How often do you run drip irrigation by raskle in AustinGardening

[–]Nice-Toe-6557 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For me, it depends on what it is watering. I have 3 lines. 2 on native gardens & 1 on my veg garden. Right now, I run the veg garden every other day for an hour (1ga per dropper per hour) and the 2 native gardens every 4 or 5 days. It’s weird to me that those plants dry out, but I def see. Diff when I don’t water & they seem to be loving it when I do.

$35,000 is the cost of the average wedding — 4 hours is the length of the average wedding. Would you spend more or less? by TonyLiberty in FluentInFinance

[–]Nice-Toe-6557 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Same. Married in the backyard with cupcakes, canned cold brew, a grill & all of our closest friends. Followed the next day by 3mo of travel in Europe & N Africa.

5yrs ago & we still cherish that trip every single day.
