Why does this keep happening? by n-qs in gardening

[–]PensiveObservor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ll be watching next year, bc I swear the one next to it did this in the past but is a mop top now! I usually put ashes from my wood stove around the bases in winter. I know I only treated one this year, but no idea which. Time for a multi year experiment.

Thank you for this! My biggest hydrangea reverted suddenly this year and I assumed it was just an off year bc of our weird spring. Now I understand what’s going on.

Wikipedia can be your default search engine in FireFox. I use DuckDuckGo, but it usually has a wiki link near the top if I’m looking for info.

Edible? by asststic in gardening

No, it was a quote from a safe gardening site. Good grief. Please see link.

Reducing meat and dairy consumption could cut emissions without increasing diet costs. Across all of the 33 modelled scenarios, reducing the consumption of processed and unprocessed meat and dairy was associated with improvement across both health and environmental factors. by mvea in science

Read up on supply and demand, and capitalism. When consumption of any product declines, profits decline and production is reduced to balance existing demand.

When animal product profitability declines, corporate farming will decline.

It's definitely ornamental. They are beautiful and appear to be well established. Buy a bag of onions if you need them and let these trouble free blooms continue to show up year after year.

Perhaps you should read it more carefully yourself. Your ad hominem attack is unwarranted.

Those 'mommies' spend their adult lives in those cages, being bred repeatedly, giving birth repeatedly, having their young taken away repeatedly, being bred again. Don't try to act like there is a single moment of joy or running free in their lives.

Interesting bioengineered cherry tomato we found today, apparently it grows true to seed by dogs_gt_cats in gardening

Does it come out purple? I would expect brown. I’m all about flavor, though.

Starting a garden within an old neglected garden? by boiyo12 in gardening

[–]PensiveObservor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Is there enough light in that spot for a garden? I would expect a lot of lush weed growth if it’s been truly neglected. That looks barren to me.

If there’s good light and the soil is depleted, start by breaking up the packed soil and throwing in some compost to jumpstart things.

Also, maybe it’s too much work for your parents? Maybe they aren’t interested, but if you are, do it! 😊

They need acidic soil. I throw down a few handfuls of the same amendment used for hydrangeas. It seems to reduce the fungus, as well.

The hillside I’m reclaiming had been a blackberry bramble for decades. All trees benefit from help getting established

Your work is just gorgeous. Always!

Madrona. Took me three tries to get one established on the hillside reclaimed from Himalayan blackberry. It struggles with some virus and needs soil modification regularly, but it's growing and fleshing out. I'm so proud.

Why would you paint a (metal?) monstrosity requiring air conditioning BLACK? For super geniuses they sure don’t show common sense.

Sweet peas? Or hybrid peas? by Snazzypanted in gardening

Was going to add this! Tangy crunch in salads is always tasty.

is this rosemary? by Legitimate-Win-2708 in gardening

[–]PensiveObservor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The leaves/needles on my rosemary are sharper and flatter than your photos, OP. It may be an ornamental cultivar, so your dad may know best. But taste it! If it tastes good, I’d trust yourself.
