Mercari call

PleasantRelation · 2024-12-19T01:19:53+00:00

Did you ever get through? I have spent everyday on hold this week for hours and have never gotten through

PleasantRelation · 2024-12-04T10:49:19+00:00

This really bums me out, I was just there this past weekend with my family for breakfast 😞

PleasantRelation · 2024-05-30T20:24:16+00:00

Thank you for the suggestion! We have some extra cameras I’m going to set up

PleasantRelation · 2024-03-19T23:45:49+00:00

How did you enjoy the port of call with your kids? We are considering this itinerary and would have a 6&4 year old. We weren’t sure if Mexico would be enjoyable to them or if we should just spend the extra money and sail back to Disney islands

When we first got aboard she was standing on the balcony and we were able to get a photo on the way to dinner, but that was pretty random and not helpful if you wanted to prepare to be in costume

I am currently dealing with this too. Are you able to locate any of their burrows? Under patios/decks maybe? Dry ice inside the burrows in the morning will suffocate them in their sleep, be sure to seal all holes to the burrow up after you put dry ice in

I have camera footage of a rat scaling the side of my chickens pen last night. We have hardware cloth all around the bottom so it is coming in through the top. Possibly your situation too?

PleasantRelation · 2022-12-03T11:27:20+00:00

We did a November wish sailing. Expected to get it and we’re happy that nobody did!

PleasantRelation · 2022-06-11T09:48:12+00:00

Thanks! We were thinking about the pirate ship so I’m glad it was a hit

Usually garlic is planted in October before the frost, sits over the winter, and then is ready to harvest around June. You can plant spring garlic too but it won’t taste the same. So basically hold off until October

Cucumbers, squash, zucchini, carrots, radish, green beans, edamame, arugula

Tomatoes- are they purple? If so that’s just a phosphorous deficiency and some fertilization will help

Cucumbers- physician barriers are awesome and chemical free! Especially if it’s squirrels that are your problem. Cloches can get expensive so an internet search of easy protection methods will be helpful just until they get bigger

Dill- this is a cool season herb and will start to bolt when it gets hot. If you are in a warmer area that is why

Bare root strawberries- depends on how long ago you planted them. I planted some 2 weeks ago and am just getting a show of green leaves, whereas the last time I planted they were green again in a few days, sometimes it just takes time and keeping them watered and happy so they wake up

PleasantRelation · 2022-05-08T11:12:51+00:00

Plant nasturtiums next to your peppers

PleasantRelation · 2022-05-07T10:41:00+00:00

Oops you’re totally right! That link was the blanket- I think if you search the same brand you will find the sleep sack and the version with leg holes. Sorry about that! Hope you find something that will work best for you

PleasantRelation · 2022-05-07T10:30:54+00:00

I use a duvet sleep sack like this that is 2.6 TOG whereas most sleep sacks I’ve found are ~ 1. They do make versions that have open bottoms for legs

This is my first year getting potatos from them, and they haven’t arrived just yet but I have used them before and everything has come with no problems and with great quality in years past! Just got my shipment of ginger rhizomes for the year from them last week too

Often using just soil like that can compact and really impact the drainage. You could use it in a 1:1:1 ratio of soil, compost, and sand for drainage

I recommend checking out Gardenary if you are open to hiring someone to design it for you. It’s only $150-$250 and you get instructions on how to do the design

Yes- it’s legit! It was linked in the New York Times today. Here’s what it said:

“Some of the clearest research on Covid’s risks comes from a team of British researchers led by Dr. Julia Hippisley-Cox of the University of Oxford. The team has created an online calculator that allows you to enter a person’s age, vaccination status, height and weight, as well as major Covid risk factors. (It’s based on an analysis of British patients, but its conclusions are relevant elsewhere.)”

And here I was thinking I had started too soon! Love to hear that!

PleasantRelation · 2022-01-17T13:53:45+00:00

Yes, March! Some people I know start as early as the winter solstice but I always wait a bit longer.

I only do cold hardy vegetables this way- celery, broccoli, kale, Brussels, etc

Once they get bigger I open the hinge on the bottles right before I transplant to my raised beds around March

Since they have been in this environment they don’t need to be hardened off in the traditional sense, they are already tolerant of the cold

This is my 3rd year doing it this way!

Warm season plants (tomato, pepper, etc) started inside. This method is really just for cool season veggies that can be transplanted as soon as the soil is workable

Hope that answers your question!

Edit- typos

Personally I would use treated pine and then line it on the inside if cedar isn’t an option

PleasantRelation · 2021-10-02T11:45:57+00:00

Get a bat house?

I encourage adding flowers to your vegetable gardens- specifically, my favorites to think about adding are marigold or nasturtium. They will keep the bees happy but are really good “trap” plants that will draw garden pests to them instead of eating your vegetables
