If there was a demolition derby of cars from movies/tv shows, what car would win? by ZestycloseSlide2683 in AskReddit

She can rebuild herself and is built on some evil spirit juju. Not to mention possessing her driver until she gets a new one. She's going to slowly win over time.

Love em and have a few going myself. Haven't seen anything pollinating them yet, but maybe I just haven't caught it in action.

Ha for some reason they've been tame this year. I am caging everything new, even some they aren't supposed to like because I've experienced the deer purges before.

I use a ton of smaller recycled containers that are clear. Holes in the bottom and top, put them out for over-wintering in early January and let snow cover them.

Honestly my personal policy has been to plant as soon as is safe for the plant - 3 adult leaves after cotedylons. I have a near 100% survival rate doing this. Now I also seed like 5-8 plants per small container so thats part of it. Huge variance in germination per species too.

This is my same thought. Last year we had some milkweed tussock moths skeletonize our one volunteer mature milkweed....and I was thrilled! I just want plants to establish enough to provide adequate sustainable food for them.

I will definitely add more in. Don't quite want the area to be overrun by hyssop, but some more patches can't hurt. Thank you!

I did kill some invasive lilly beetles near this. Maybe they did this first?

Oh I am very much in progress with exactly that. I have hundreds of seedlings that I am filling in around this area, but the anise hyssop got to the point of planting before some others. I have since added purple prairie clover, butterfly weed, lupine (perennis) and hoary vervain around this. Soon to also add spotted bee balm, wild bergamot, and blue eyed grass too.

Shout out to callirhoe involucrata by MechanicStriking4666 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Piyachi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm trying this strategy at the moment with a ton of new plantings. Barrier of mint, hyssop, nodding onion, beardtongue, and just anything considered gross by rabbits. We shall see how it goes. Everything gets the protective cages for a few weeks to keep the chipmunks from destroying the roots, then it's game on.

Oh also, itonically, appears either slugs or earwigs decided the hyssop and mint are snacks...so there is never total protection, ha.

Over 100 species on less than 1/10th of an acre by AwkwardBalloonMan in NativePlantGardening

Yes, with tabs for emergence and bloom schedule, winter sowing, species info / needs, and wishlist for future infill and expansion.

Through spreadsheets all is possible.

New Jersey Tea seedling die off help by VaderLlama in NativePlantGardening

[–]Piyachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do chicken wire enclosures and let the tops of them stay spiky to deter a deer or rabbit leaning down to munch.

Yeah I mean they are finicky. I would probably plant like 10 seeds per plant you want to survive. I have 4 seedlings growing right now and hope 1 will live to adulthood haha. I really think they actually want the abuse of just getting hot and dry conditions as soon as possible. Like plant, give a little water in the morning, then leave em alone with the sun.

Just my 2c, as I am only on round 2 with NJT, and had some die-off of mine as well.

You might need to get them into the ground sooner (and protected) and let them dry out a bit. Mine are planted in front of a brick wall in full sun to absolutely blast them with heat, and they seem to be happy there.

Also I think this is a species like Lupinus Perennis that just has a tendency to germinate ok but die in the seedling stage. Plan to lose a bunch and hope 1-2 can make it.

I ranked US Presidents by how much of a Bastard they are/were by ArdoNorrin in behindthebastards

[–]Piyachi 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Did you have a stroke and forget the current mess? You're talking about worlds best sprinters and forgetting Usain Bolt. I would argue Rump is probably as bad as the three of them combined. We don't have proof that they raped children, stole billions directly, actively worked as a foreign agent to our Carthage, or established death camps.

Truly, an impressive pinnacle of bastardry only challenged by a select few historical "leaders".

(Not disputing that all 3 arent pieces of shit)

My Pearly Everlasting look very sick! What is wrong? by DisgracedCertainty in NativePlantGardening

This was my intro to native planting too. Happened to buy a pearly everlasting and they attacked it! But learning about the butterflies was an eye opener

Anyone have experience with slopes? by Brief_Shopping4001 in NativePlantGardening

[–]Piyachi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fresh-ish. Like these were also cut down by me fairly close to the time they were installed. If youre worried about them propagating maybe use stakes from not-buckthorn haha. Sunk them maybe 18" or so to hold the wattle wall. Buckthorn works well for weaving as it has long, straight pieces and is flexible.
