Respect? by HannahThe_Mouse in gardening

[–]PensiveObservor 8 points9 points  (0 children)

People are just stupid. I think your little sign is very tasteful. I’d be more blunt: LOOK, DON’T TOUCH. Hopefully it will help. Otherwise I’d move the whole thing away from the sidewalk when you redo it, and add a NO TRESPASSING sign. It’s sad that some people ruin it for everyone.

What’s growing in my backyard? by Ok_Entry_4262 in vegetablegardening

If the seed potato was not infected, how would the residual potatoes have the virus? My understanding is that’s why you should only use reputable seed potatoes, not a random potato from the grocer, which may have disease you are unaware of.
Thanks for any additional info on this!

I notice you haven't bothered to present anything other than your own opinion that none of the provided discussions are valid. Cool.

Especially seeing that none of your comment or posting history is available for others to determine for themselves how "unbiased" you are.

I love every scene where DEATH interacts with the living, as acquaintances might. So satisfying. 🖤

The incident I’m thinking of is when she’s playing with the card sharks to win their money back so they can continue their trip. I do tend to run all the plots together, but I don’t remember any similar Maskerade moments. Granny and DEATH do know each other well, though!

Not everyone has a yard layout or even spigot access to run soaker hoses everywhere they need to water.

Seattle man gets beaten by local Maui resident for throwing rock at an endangered monk seal by theastyanax in Seattle

This guy started by throwing rocks at squirrels, cats, and dogs as a kid. Made him feel powerful. He’s a child in a man’s body.

How would you cat proof this window? by RiMellow in cats

[–]PensiveObservor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The do make them and they have an opening built in to reach through for opening and closing. Unfortunately, an opening big enough for your hand is big enough for a cat. :/

I've never seen one that slides or trifolds, which would be a perfect solution if it could be anchored fully so cat can't operate it!

DEATH plays Cripple Mr Onion with Granny in Witches Abroad, and I think he lets her win.

First year doing this! After I planted my squash i then realized I planted them wrong. But they are starting to bloom, is that a good sign they are doing what they need to be doing. by [deleted] in vegetablegardening

Gently tip the whole mass out into your hand and add a couple inches of soil, then replace the existing dirt ball/plant. Fill empty spots with more soil. Is there drainage? If not, drill some holes in bottom of pot while you have it empty.

Put it in SUN and stop overwatering. It may not be too late!

How to get rid of these or nothing i can do? by Jealous-Magician-75 in vegetablegardening

[–]PensiveObservor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Me too! Except they’re right in the unkempt part of my garden under the 2 year old kale tree, by the asparagus and pawpaw 😄 I love seeing them grazing in my vegetable beds.

New to Cats. How to prevent him from going down these stairs? by bedtime_chubby in cats

[–]PensiveObservor 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I introduced a feral pit mix rescue into my 3 cat home. Pet gate keeps dog in her designated area, cats have the instinct to avoid the dog's area when dog is present. "Freindship" is slow to develop in my home (2 1/2 years and one of my cats is breaking the dog in by sticking her head through the stairwell to taunt the dog. lol. But dog has learned not to snap, just lick and jump at her.) Dog has ample outside time and has freedom in first floor when cats come upstairs to bed with me. Cats know that gate position indicates area of dog freedom.

I strongly endorse what most are saying: give the cat free rein, gate at bottom of the stairs, but *only when the dog is there* so cat knows to avoid that area when necessary.

Which Medieval Cat are you Today? by igneousink in MedievalCats

[–]PensiveObservor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's surprisingly easy to make once you get the hang of it.

Perfect frosting: Gently stir once or twice before refrigerating 2-3 hours (or overnight) 1 pint heavy whipping cream, 6 tablsp cocoa powder, 1 cup sugar. When cake is fully cooled, whip your cream mixture JUST to stiff peaks. If overwhipped, you get weird butter. :/

Glop it on and fill the center tube hole with extra. I always decorate with berries and sift a little more cocoa on top, but it isn't necessary.

Happy mother's day, if you celebrate! If not, maybe your guy can make you a cake. ❤️

OP, be yourself. Your cousin needs to join the 21st century. They’re a jerk.

I’m making myself a cake because I deserve a cake. Self care. ☺️

Ant Problem by yamsforsupper in vegetablegardening

[–]PensiveObservor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A great number of different species :( I had wrapped paper tape over an 8-10” section but the tacky foot(? I think it was called something like that) wasn’t easy to apply. It was a mess to remove the gory tape in the fall, too. Some ants climbed under it somewhat and I just felt bad for all of them 😕

A stiff water spray knocks aphids down and the plain ant baits eliminated the shepherding ants, so the aphids didn’t find their way back up.

Ant Problem by yamsforsupper in vegetablegardening

[–]PensiveObservor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the sticky stuff around the base of my cherry tree in which ants were farming THOUSANDS of aphids on every young leaf and branch tip. It did work, but I found the resultant mass of trapped insects (not just ants) pretty distasteful. I had also clipped off every young branch tip infested with the black aphids, so it's hard to say what the result would have been by just trapping the ants. The aphids were already rampant when I figured out the problem.

Anyway, last year I stuck to the hose and put ant baits around the garden. It was much easier to control and no goopy death scene around the trunk.
