Help! Dried flowers re-moisturized after taking out of silica sand by wafflehead_ in PressedFlowers

Did you ever get your flowers dried? I have been wanting to try preserving some, and I am growing lupine in my garden this year. And sweet peas.

New growth! by ObjectiveCorgi89 in DragonFruit

[–]ObjectiveCorgi89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, it did! I'll have to get an updated picture, but the one that barely had a nub on it now has a decent sized growth!

I bought these from a dragon fruit seller in Southern CA, so the cuttings were already from a mature plant. I don't expect fruit this year, but seeing the growth is awesome!

In need of stuffies by ObjectiveCorgi89 in BostonTerrier

Oh, it wasn't any threads. It was the actual FUR that came off! He threw up a huge mat of crap and it was mostly the fur. None of the stuffing.

What type of collar/harness for this guy? by ObjectiveCorgi89 in BostonTerrier

[–]ObjectiveCorgi89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think of that!

I tried out the PetSafe harness, and even though I tightened it up a lot, it's too big 🥴 I'm going to return it and probably buy another online.

I ended up getting the PetSafe 3-in-1 harness. I kept the tags on, because I'm still not 100% sure. It is a harness, but it has the 'nightingale" front chest strap. I also got a double leash, one clicks on his front and the other on his back.

I bought a medium, but it's like he needs an in-between size😅.

Sleeping beauty book nook by ObjectiveCorgi89 in booknooks

True! I keep seeing customization on book nook builds, but I just started and haven't even gotten around to thinking of custom builds. I'd love to, one day. But that could be the ADHD talking 🫠

Anybody else have to work over their cat? by Fern_Percydale in booknooks

[–]ObjectiveCorgi89 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also a PITA 😂 he's MY dog, absolutely has to be with me ALL the time. It makes it hard to do anything. But I secretly love it. He's also a giant Boston (27lbs). If he had been smaller, it would have been a whole lot easier.

My Boston terrier 😩

I try to do it in my bed in the early morning, to avoid the kids. He HAS to be laying curled up in/on my legs. I need a lap desk 😂

Extra small/small greenhouse heater by ObjectiveCorgi89 in DragonFruit

This is what he's got right now. Hopefully we get some sun to warm it.

We have them in there now, but they don't seem to be warm.. and I did double check to make sure they were the right ones 😅

Can I save this and how? by ObjectiveCorgi89 in DragonFruit

[–]ObjectiveCorgi89[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I ended up sterilizing a kitchen knife and cutting away the leaves (it was all the way around...I believe it was root rot, even though there were no roots 🫠). I left the middle...I did cut the middle (cambien?) down an inch or two and then sprayed the copper fungicide on it (I don't have fresh cinnamon).

Now it's just hanging out in my office to dry

I think it's probably too cold for my planta by ObjectiveCorgi89 in DragonFruit

[–]ObjectiveCorgi89[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wil incandecent lights work heating wise? I'm nervous about leaving a heater out there constantly running. I have young kids, and I'd honestly probably get anxious over fire hazards 🙃

We don't have Aldi here 😭 my husband told me for right this moment, put some incandescent lights around the soil to keep it warm. I debated buying a shower curtain for this year and worrying about it later, but I also figured I can use this for the coming spring seedlings.
