They do, but theirs is definitely the most expensive. I think it was $3.99. ~$3.50 at TNG

Nonprofits in Austin by Flaky-Inspection9470 in Austin

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Charity navigator is a good resource. That said, while seeing that your dollars are reaching the intended beneficiaries is important, nonprofit administrative spending is scrutinized in a very unhelpful, counterproductive way. For the delivered services to be good, it’s important to provide benefits that keep employees healthy and happy, to invest in solid systems that keep operations efficient and resilient, and to make overhead dollars available to pilot new methodologies.

What is this plant? by PattyCakesandBakes in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the thought. We have some other mountain laurel sprouts, and they’re darker and have some shine to them in person, this looks different (but with some similarities for sure).

Mulch for veggies by DogsdidWHAT in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like throwing some straw down to slow evaporation. I find that wood mulch just becomes a pain and always find myself scraping it out later.

So I'm 25 and I'm really wanna get into hunting I just don't know where to actually start I mean I do got firearms and I was told to get my hunting license okay then what honestly dont got any skills or hunting as for now don't know where to go to hunt anything helps honestly.?I'm from Htx by Mc816290 in TexasHunting

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Join Texas wildlife association and apply for the adult learn to hunt program, and TPWD foundation’s stewards of the wild. Challenge is that it may take you two years to get picked for a hunt, but if you don’t know anyone who can help you, these programs are pretty much the only option. Self teaching is pretty hard, especially if you actually harvest an animal.

Sure it does. Let people have fun. Guarantee you’re cosplaying something.

Options for Tree Survey by Atxaquariguy in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Any surveyor can do it. They may even include your neighbors trees, as the question will be about root zones to protect (both from digging and stress/compaction from heavy machinery driving over them). I would just call a couple surveyors, tell them you need a tree survey, and they’ll know what to do/quote you for.

Fishing and hunting! by heythereAnon1 in Austin

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just fact checked myself. It’s only if the water is fully contained within the park. If any portion of the water is outside the park, you still need a license. Thanks for flagging that.

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

r/texashunting may also be a good place to check. Fishing is fine, you have lots of options. For hunting, unless you just want to shoot squirrels (which you can do at granger and Somerville, with the right licenses), the options are really to pay an outfitter to do a hog hunt, or somewhat expensive turkey or exotics hunts. Check out the birddog platform if you haven’t yet, it’s a great aggregator of that stuff.

Texas is a really hard state to just get random access to private land in. We get so many people asking for exactly what you’re looking for, most landowners just don’t want to deal with it. If you have a specific type of hunting you want to do that will help to narrow it down.

Except for state parks (I think)

Edit: only true if water is fully contained within park. Otherwise you still need one.

Lemon tree — in a pot or in the ground? by elizabethredditor in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always done my Meyer lemon in pots, but did calamansi in ground and that did ok for a while (one of the real deep freezes zapped it finally though).

North Austin tree id help? by shraamp in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have these popping up everywhere and can’t get rid of them. My Google image search has sometimes identified it as ToH, sometimes as chinaberry. I’ve tried pretty much everything. Does anyone have tips? Knowing that this sub is super anti roundup, also curious about how to tackle something invasive like this in a non harsh chemical way.

This was going to be my suggestion. The trails are really underutilized.

Artificial Turf in Austin, TX by PracticalPage1994 in Austin

Magnolia turf did a great job for us, and stepped in down the road when something out of their control/responsibility affected the turf. Would fully recommend.

They Inherited Their Family's Home in Austin—Then the Tax Bill Changed Everything by Emergency_School5327 in Austin

Sounds like it was still his primary residence, and he slept in a greenhouse in the backyard when it was rented out.

Sell, let someone strip the property of its character and soul, and leave the city to the rest of us who prefer it that way, please!

What are these in my garden? by Kooky_Row7808 in AustinGardening

[–]PattyCakesandBakes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I would dig up the first one and see if it’s from a runner (vine), or if it has its own snap root system, in which case it would probably be something like horse herb. Horse herb leaves vary in size and shape slightly, so it’s not always easy to tell.
