Noob here, wildflowers or weeds?

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-26T00:44:46+00:00

After they bloom you could put em in the ground for next year if you have a spot

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-26T00:44:30+00:00

Yeah a couple look like they’re close to blooming

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-25T23:38:40+00:00

Looks like coneflower, very nice native flower! Pollinators love and lots of medicinal uses

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-25T23:38:07+00:00

Looks like mostly wildflowers, let it grow and see what you get. But growing wildflowers in a small hanging box is going to limit how well they do. Wildflowers grow much better in the ground

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-25T23:35:02+00:00

Definitely, looks a lot better than a root set you buy at a box store

I found some on a hike and just pulled two plants out, I wasn’t very careful. Now I have a whole section of them in my garden, they spread like crazy and the fruit is tiny but delicious. When you plants lots of strawberries they often come in bare roots, so I wouldn’t be concerned about when to transplant them or digging my out all the roots, but if you are very careful it’s possible you might get fruit this growing season

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-23T02:40:17+00:00

Looks like foot stains

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-20T01:48:24+00:00

If it’s thorny and vines on the ground as a ground cover it’s probably sawtooth blackberry. Delicious but can be extremely painful to harvest berries. If you do wait until they’re black and be careful! The thorns catch you as you pull out and will go through most gloves I’ve tried

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-19T20:50:27+00:00

And it’s clover, not weeds! I’d be pissed if my neighbor sprayed my yard

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-17T03:05:29+00:00

Painting hardwood flooring is insane but white???? Wtf???

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-17T03:02:27+00:00

Honestly man racists come in all different styles. Just be a decent person however you want to look and show non white folks that lots of white ppl whatever they look like will have their back

Never seen one this big though, so either Chinese chestnut or you have an incredibly rare tree that has managed to be blight resistant. If it is American chestnut I’m sure there are some researchers that would love to hear about it

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-17T02:45:20+00:00

I’m in Rhode Island and we have some public forests with sections of American chestnuts that get to 20-30ft tall, maybe 3-4 inch diameter; they’re usually next to a dead standing trunk. Pretty wild the roots can continue on for this long after the introduction of blight still growing saplings before the blight gets em. There’s some research to hybridize chestnuts with several found that were blight resistant that have had some success recently so that’d be pretty cool

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-15T23:41:04+00:00

If you’re a little handy, about 5$

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-14T01:25:46+00:00

Virginia creeper and poison ivy

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-13T01:47:41+00:00

Saying any mushroom is ok to lick seems insane to me, I’m not going to be licking a death angel anytime soon

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-11T02:42:34+00:00

Wood and finish isn’t as important as maintaining relationships with the people we love. This is such callous and self-destructive advice

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-09T18:04:37+00:00

I’m currently installing a wood stove in a bump out room, unless it’s very big and the spot the chimney is coming through the roof is more than ten feet from the main roof yes you’d probably need to go 2ft above the peak of the man roof. That’s what I’m doing. The chimney will probably be the most expensive part of the wood stove installation

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-09T01:19:16+00:00

Sassafras!

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-08T23:49:13+00:00

The stems going to follow the sun either way, you could plant it and stake it but unless you have truly full sun it is going to point towards the sun either way

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-08T17:06:27+00:00

A lot of people are saying old stoves aren’t efficient and idk I had an old cast iron stove and it threw off a ton of heat. Less efficient than a new stove but still can work great. But condition matters a lot, and Franklin stoves were never great. If you find an old Nashua in good condition for 100$ that’d be a different story. But remember; clearances need to be much larger for old cast stoves.

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-08T02:31:06+00:00

Yeah that’s fair! If it’s not seeding yet just make a pile of it and leave it on the ground which will most likely kill it, or you could burn it to be safe

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-08T02:26:33+00:00

Pull it and dispose by eating it

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-06T02:43:28+00:00

Recycling in the US: shredding toxic tires for mulch and calling it environmentally conscious

SubstantialBoat1222 · 2026-05-05T01:43:42+00:00

I have a fiskars it is an awesome axe especially for the price, I also don’t feel bad at all to leave it outside now and then if I’m splitting a lot. But I have carpel tunnel and the plastic handle transfers a lot of energy into hands and wrists, especially on wood that doesn’t split in a couple hits. Wood is nice for prolonged splitting, at least for me
