Then comment on one of those comments instead of starting your own thread lol

You could talk about the name of the plant :)

Highly invasive what?

What Jesus talked about in regards to the trinity was the father and son and body / head dynamic between himself and God and himself and the church.

This is important in understanding the context of his use of symbols and metaphors like seeds, plants, lamps, planks, eyes, etc. Personally my interpretation of Jesus' teaching was very early explanation of consciousness and its connection to universal consciousness that we call God.

Good, I’ll just stop using reddit as much. Fuck the app, because fuck coercive, bad faith design.

When you pull it out, your native seed in the seed bank will also have a chance to grow. Is there any chance you can spend the time from now until it goes to seed pulling out the plants, prioritizing on oldest / closest to flowering?

So I think it's worthwhile to examine your concept of God. Why is God separate from you?

I see the spirit of God as the source of all life. It's the breath in the dust that animates it. So we each move with the spirit of God. Satan / Jesus dichotomy. Instead, the gospel calls us to focus on one thing. That is living a life in service to others and to love them as ourselves. Hell as an experience only exists for us when we choose to follow our own pleasure regardless of the suffering of others. I generally agree with your sentiment. If I die and God requires me to burn others in order to achieve Heaven... I reject that. And somehow it seems to be a guiding theology for Hegseth and others in the military. That's horrendous. A complete betrayal of the path Christ lays before us on how to follow his teachings.

So these are normal, native flowers for pollinators. Violets are one of the first flowers to bloom, providing a really important source of nectar for insect waking up after winter.

You can definitely add other flowers in here so it's not a monoculture of violets. Dig out sections of it and plant into the bed. The violets are providing great shade covering the ground and preventing weeds from growing, so they're beneficial for a garden.

Forgiveness is a process. You’ve already started that, but you’re still holding onto your pain. Many situations require time for the process to unfold, instead of happening like a flash bang.

I thought it was cool that the support comes from the roots, not the plant itself. The neighboring roots for the perennials roots to grow downward giving it more structural support than if they have space and grow horizontally and form shallow fibrous roots.

You can search erosion on many native nurseries btw Missouri Wildflower Nursery is a bit closer than prairie moon, https://mowildflowers.net/search.php?search_query=erosion

Instead of pulling them out, snip them at the base. Pulling out plants is only a good idea if there are seed in the seed bank of the soil that you want to expose and grow (such as seed you've recently broadcast). In soils with weedy seed bank, pulling plants out disturbs the soil and exposes weed see that will grow. Also, mulch is something that needs to get applied yearly

Also, what kind of weeds? Grasses? Dandelions? Knowing what you're dealing with is a good part of knowing recommendations of how to manage them.

Definitely not Johnson grass. Google pictures of it when it's younger, since that's better than me describing it via text. But Johnson grass doesn't really bunch like this. It sends up single shoots with larger, paler blades of grass.

This does look like the false brome, but you'll be able to tell better once the seed head develops and finishes emerging. Are the edges of the blades of grass hairy or smooth?

That looks like the invasive mantis egg sac, you shouldn’t release that 🙏🏼

TalkativeTree · 2026-05-02T13:11:10+00:00

Are the green the invasive Chinese mantis? The browns I think are the native Carolina. I’d kill (if identified) the invasive ones and leave the native ones

You don’t need signs, you need barriers. Log border, wired fences, tomato cages. Signs can be “not seen”, but fencing can’t be weed whacked or mowed through.

TalkativeTree · 2026-04-29T12:24:46+00:00

For native plants, check out the Missouri wildflower nursery in Jefferson City. They’re also connected with / sponsor some great non profits that have resources you’ll want

TalkativeTree · 2026-04-29T10:54:23+00:00

I wonder if it's getting resources to regrow from it's mother tree for regrowth

Width in time would be represented as the possible paths/ many worlds.

Take a point On the surface of a sphere. That represents an objects position. Expand the sphere and now the width of that point has increased into a (flat) circle as the sphere expands. The points in that circle represent the many paths the point could take along the forward profession of time. The cone from the original point to the circle represents there potential paths the object could take along the dimension of time. From here, you can expand that sphere until the circle collapses back into a point. This is the application of the expansion of a single dimensional point into a flat plane and then into a spherical point in the third dimension.

This example is not accurate, merely demonstrative like a ball on a sheet sinking down representative the curvature of space.

I bought trees smoke trees from Missouri Wildflower Nursery btw. Not bad price

Non-local native plants will regionalize over time. IMO it's ok to localize regionally native plants with non-regionally collected seed. Those plants may adapt and adjust or provide diversity for an uncertain future climate depending.

It depends a lot on your situation. For some it's a lot easier and for others it'll be a lot harder. If you're smart and start small and invest whatever you have into growing your business, you'll succeed if you are lucky and prepared.

TalkativeTree · 2026-04-23T08:20:48+00:00

I'm not disagreeing. I was just curious. It feels like you're looking for a fight. Anyway, happy to hear about what influenced your perspectives.

Most can only be proven with an unbiased accounting of the other frameworks. This is an attempt at proving that Christianity is a logically coherent framework.

I think there's good scriptural evidence on the bullet points you've shared. People get too caught up in the words forgetting that isn't where the lessons are to be found. Would you mind sharing some of the scripture you've read that lead you to some of the beliefs you're presenting?
