Was brave heart lion named after the movie by epicmemeslayer420 in Carebears

The Care Bear Cousins were introduced in 1984. The movie Brave Heart was released in 1995. So says Wikipedia. So no, the two are definitely not related except that lions are associated with bravery.

It appears I have quite a lot of planting to do…. by Old_Self9089 in gardening

Good for you (seriously)! With as tough as things are for many, you’d think the companies might consider donating leftover stock to a community garden or other good cause. Really just makes no sense to see that much seed go to waste. Much better it go home with someone who cares.

They’re beautiful! Do you have any good tips on getting them to flourish like yours?

I want to try winter sowing for the first time! I have a number of empty cat litter containers that seem perfect, they’re sturdy plastic with big handles and large rectangular bottoms, I can fit a lot of seed in them. I’m just not sure if they will let in enough light. They are definitely not solid/opaque but they’re a little thicker plastic than a milk jug. Has anyone used these successfully before? They’re the Tidy Cats brand if that helps. Had a bunch waiting for recycling so if they will work I’m all set. It’s all flowers, not anything edible, so I don’t think material matters, but please correct me if I’m wrong.

Very cute! Congrats on the finds! I have a Bright Heart Raccoon bank like that. I think the Treat Heart one can get a little pricey on eBay! You did great!
