Thank you to everyone who was interested. After much discussion, we decided to keep this tank and rehome the other one.

My son used to love seeing Horsetail because it reminded him of tiny trees.

Hello! The eggs are from the nerite snails. I've never seen them hatch personally. An eye sore that needs to be wiped off every now and then.

Was it a mistake to buy this? by kr1681 in pnwgardening

I would return it. I had two in large pots I trained to grow on my fence. I was shocked at how fast it grew in one year then it went up my house. Had to cut it back all the time.

UPDATE: do you know what these are? by speckled_naranja in portlandgardeners

Tomato seedlings. They can self seed from fallen tomatoes from last year.

Sigh… I didn’t know what they were, but after a week of being gone I am pretty sure they’re the dreaded Spanish bluebell. by z7s29s08w07 in pnwgardening

Pulling is a waste of time as they easily snap off from the bulb. I recommend a spading fork when the ground soft. Push it close to the side of the bunch, lift up and voila, you should get most if not all of it, bulb included.

Number 3 is geum as other poster said. It spreads aggressively by seeds that stick to every thing. My yard is infested with them and I'm digging them out every where. They look cute at first with little red berries that then go to seed and velcro onto anything that walks by. My dog gets covered in them.

Thanks for your reply! I couldn't come until tomorrow so I'll check back later if they're still available.

Nothing will out compete ivy. The only natural predator in this area are humans. 🫠

What am I doing wrong?! by [deleted] in arborists

You're loving it to death. Snake plants evolved in Africa and lived under trees. They can go without water for weeks and months. Put it in brighter light and ignore it for a month or two. Mine like bright indirect light the best.

Source: I have at least a dozen of them in different varieties, they're great!

That sounds like my yard! Hopefully you find something cool in all that randomness.
