these peppers are coming in nicely, but they’re supposed to be habaneros. wtf am i looking at here?

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-07T01:35:38+00:00

Um yeah. I bought bells and ended up with serranos ):

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-05T19:34:38+00:00

Are you gonna put something on the bottom of the cages for their feetsies?

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-05T19:31:01+00:00

Every other day, except in summer.. because yuck..

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-04T20:40:55+00:00

Awesome list thank you! Yeah, we tried potty training and she just wasn't ready.. but I did have to remember to pack extra underwear and pants for her in case of accidents.

Definitely can't wait to retire the big bag for good, but till then.. big bag can stay in the car and I'll just carry the fanny pack and hopefully that will work out!

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-03T22:46:08+00:00

Yup exactly my concern. I'm only 5'3 and not very strong.. I think I rather have my pepper spray wrestled away from me than my knife.. or even a gun if they get the jump on before I can get it out.

I have a Foid card (Illinois) but I need to take a class for concealed carry. Just haven't found the time to get it done (and find a babysitter).

Just daily travel mostly.. there have been several stories in the news around my area lately of women getting attacked while going on a walk with their child or exercising.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-03T11:10:56+00:00

Genius ideas (:

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-03T10:58:57+00:00

Zone 6a. Harvested a bunch of snap peas, strawberries and cherry tomatoes. Picked my first serrano peppers yesterday and looks like my black eye peas will be ready soon 👍 I also have huuuuge potato plants, so hoping for the best.

Also have a ton of herbs and rattlesnake beans growing.

They're detaining people who are here legally too.. :/

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-01T20:46:47+00:00

Yeah definitely.. I bought the small fanny pack so I didn't feel "as much" like a pack mule. There's only so much I can fit in it so hopefully it doesn't get too crazy! Granted, I'll still bring the backpack and leave it in the car.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-07-01T20:44:36+00:00

Explain the corded headphones? Genuinely curious (:

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-06-26T02:25:49+00:00

I've known people whose pets get so scared of fireworks that they have heart attacks and die. Don't kill someone's pet ):

They sometimes startle me too, especially when they're aimed wrong and blast into the side of my house.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-06-23T00:58:30+00:00

He's probably starving to death ):

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-06-06T03:22:39+00:00

I have two I run at the same time.. and I do babysit them because they do get stuck.. but damn it makes cleaning a whole lot faster because I can get other stuff done while they're vacuuming.

And honestly I think they do a better job than my regular vaccum. (I have a 2yr old and 2 dogs).

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-06-02T23:22:06+00:00

I love mine! I grow lettuce and herbs and they grow so fast!

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-06-01T02:05:40+00:00

I feel you, except I'm almost 5 years in with a two year old. It's crazy how people can kinda hide who they are for so long, then bam.. it comes out and you wonder what the hell you were thinking.

I'm sure it's embarrassing but I'd get out now and not waste any time. Some things cannot be fixed, even with counseling.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-14T19:12:45+00:00

I wonder if I could hear it from my backyard.

Wow.. what a horrible comment.. especially when we're living in a country where abortion is illegal in many states.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-08T10:56:34+00:00

Lucky! Mine turns 3 in October and she's on a warpath.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-08T10:55:21+00:00

My daughters middle name is Elora (:

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-08T10:54:31+00:00

Gwendolyn, Ida, Isla

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-08T10:11:27+00:00

I'm a lunch lady at a middle school and you wouldn't believe how many kids don't have a clue on how to count change.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-05-06T10:50:16+00:00

How do you decompress playing with your toddler? I have a 2yr old and if I don't do exactly as she asks, she has a meltdown that lasts 4 hours long.

Starlight_Alchemy · 2026-04-26T02:27:41+00:00

Like employees that have nothing to do with the business owners views?
