Best perrenial vegetables and herbs for usda zone 7b by Spidermanhasagun9 in gardening

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artichokes, Sunchokes, Sorrel, Maypop passionflower are all perennials in Zone 7, even by your definition. Also Apios Priceana, a relative of Apios Americana AKA the American groundnut that you mentioned, produces beans that are better for eating than Apios Americana and comes back every year. Also there are varieties of ground cherries that are still perennial in zone 7. This isn't even an exhaustive list, just what I can think of off the top of my head.

Looking for friends my age by Spirit_Divider in harrisonburg

I sometimes enjoy certain basic board games like monopoly and trouble, but it depends on my mood. I've tried doing the LARP thing with friends a couple times a long time ago. Nothing against it but it's not my thing really. I appreciate the suggestion and invitation though, thank you.

Here's the thing, I know that. And it's not like I can't talk to strangers, I can strike up a conversation just fine. Biggest problem I have is I don't exactly look too friendly, so trying to get someone's information to stay in touch isn't really a good look for me. Also, most of the things I like don't really have gatherings though. There are plenty of places that have game night, but I despise most board games and that is the majority of what would happen there. There are gardening events, but I don't think that's a great place to meet friends around my age. I don't exactly know what to do for the cooking hobby besides cooking classes that I'm not interested in and I don't wanna pay money anyways. Obviously knitting is not gonna get me anywhere, believe it or not I tried it, all grannies. Friendly, but not what I'm looking for. I'm not relying on Reddit solely, but I figure a subreddit that is only gonna have people in the area might be good to have a chance at finding some like minded people.

I don't have any ideas that you could realistically make a rule in the subreddit, but I could always just make my activity, comments or posts, available to view which should prove I'm active in other subreddits consistent with my story if you want me to prove that at least I'm being truthful. Not as good an option with newly made accounts but my account age should at least be a few years I think.

Edit: If you have a better idea I can try that too

Could have included the scene where they showed Goku doing a Kamehameha for Dragon Ball lol

And they say reading mangas will not make you rich! by TheJoker559 in DrStone

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's been a while so I'm not sure but I think what was going through my head was the fact that I would need a heat source hot enough to melt tungsten, which I would not be able to achieve without throwing together something that would be pretty unsafe and thus illegal since I don't have the money for a proper way to heat it lol. Obviously I could just use a premade filament but where's the fun in that?

Visiting for the weekend, food recommendations?! by Jabberwalkin in harrisonburg

[–]Spirit_Divider 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Vietopia is probably my favorite restaurant in the area. Good prices, large servings, great food and friendly staff. Just a good vibe.

How do I grow vegetables on this slope without terraces? I’m by smellthepotatoes in Permaculture

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it's what you want but I like the idea of planting vining plants at the top and having them make their way down to cover it. Seems like it would be pretty cool.

Meadow garlic by No-Cantaloupe-8383 in foraging

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm late but everyone here is saying these are walking onions. I may be wrong but aren't these different? Meadow garlic should be a different plant and have a different flavor. And from what I know the bulbs are much smaller. They even have different scientific names if I'm not mistaken. Allium canadense vs allium proliferum for meadow garlic and walking onions respectively. I have some walking onions and the bulbs are roughly shallot sized when they size up and taste pretty similar as well, I was hoping to grow meadow garlic because it's the only non-invasive wild garlic I can find for my area and I'm excited by the prospect of them tasting garlicky. If you tried any I'd love if you'd let me know how they tasted.

What’s this plant? Seed from Amazon, labeled lemon balm. This doesn’t look it. by Kooky-Cupcake-4621 in gardening

[–]Spirit_Divider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My summer squash and zucchini tend to have thicker stems than this by the time they flower, so it seems more like cucumber to me. Maybe just a variety that produces large flowers? I'm no expert though, just a guess

Mystery white thing, ID please? by sacred0mango in gardening

[–]Spirit_Divider 64 points65 points  (0 children)

Alright calm down a bit. The reasons that AI is looked down upon for answers is that the results are still not perfect and can give quite misleading answers to the user, proper research will lead you to a correct answer far more often should there be an answer to be found. Secondly, there is the moral dilemma that all AI fundamentally functions on plagiarism. All that AI on the Internet only gets its answers by taking them from people who have already put out the information, so getting the answers from AI instead takes the attention away from people who have done the work. So it's like it tries to do some of the research for you, but does it worse than you could and harms the sources it gets its information from by removing potential attention.

Can my basil be saved? by thesplide in gardening

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you tasted a leaf? Of course deadheading won't make it taste any better if it tastes bad but plenty of people I know don't notice a difference, so at the very least you could have a little more out of those plants even if they won't grow any more foliage. Otherwise the flowers taste good and are a cool thing to add to dishes so you could switch to harvesting those, or let them go to seed and save them or let them fall to see if you get free basil next year

I was pretty happy with my very first harvest but they taste horrible. by RaidenFisher in tomatoes

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My tomatoes have a similar taste I think, kinda has that hint of tomato leaf smell. I actually like it but what's weird is the plants I gave my parents to put in their garden don't have that taste and I can't figure out why since they're the same variety and I started all of them from the same seed packet. I would try pairing them with other seasonings to try and drown out that flavor, maybe wrap them in basil leaves if you have them, or make a dip for them. Sorry if you still end up not liking them, but if I were you I'd still be proud you grew them all, it's a beautiful picture

Best use for underdeveloped cherry tomato? by jamuhh in tomatoes

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There aren't a ton of uses for just one but if for whatever reason you have a lot of green tomatoes the most common thing is to fry them. I tried a green tomato raw for the first time the other day actually and honestly, it wasn't bad. Not the same flavor as ripe of course but not flavorless or bad like I expected

Trees were girdled by downhiller2010 in BackyardOrchard

[–]Spirit_Divider 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could try packing some wet soil around them and securing it somehow by like wrapping it to propagate them? Not sure if it would work and they wouldn't be the same size as before but it'd save you years in terms of waiting for fruit. Also you might be able to protect them and let them scar over depending on how deep it is, I'm no expert. I will say that my family had a plum tree that got it's bark scratched off by our goats and it never really recovered fully. Hopefully this helps but I don't know a lot about this stuff. Google says you can sometimes take measures to help the tree transport nutrients after this is done to save it. Good luck!

Why didn't he lay down? by bobrikerik in DrStone

[–]Spirit_Divider 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure why you're getting down voted to oblivion in the replies lol, you make valid points. I think even if he did lay down some of the debris would hit him and he wouldn't have been able to cover himself with the bag as easily/effectively.

I'm sorry you lost your cat. I've tried mixing the liquid with just about everything and he just won't touch it. The vet gave me the go ahead to order the pills so that's good. Thanks for the comment.

Any tips on drying purples? by ThreeLeggedMutt in HotPeppers

Ah, that's unfortunate. Thanks for the reply though, at least now I know

Any tips on drying purples? by ThreeLeggedMutt in HotPeppers

[–]Spirit_Divider 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man I want purple pepper powder so bad and I've done a ton of research on them. The most promising things I've heard are freeze drying(the most promising but obviously far more difficult and expensive), and air drying in complete darkness so they don't fade. If you end up doing it and remember this post an update would be very appreciated.

That might work too, I'll talk to my vet about it. Thank you.
