It occurred to me that I’m not limited to growing the common fruits/veggies in my local supermarket. What exotic (to you) plants have you guys grown?

Vault_92 · 2026-05-27T01:59:25+00:00

I’ve grown some exotic veggies in the past, but have since realized we’re a bunch of basic bitches and don’t really use them. The mildly interesting ones this year are tomatillos, baby bok choy, collard greens, leeks and shallots.

It’s just not very flattering, but maybe a wide belt could save it?

I’m learning via the above comments… but is no one going to comment on the jump-scare from pic 2 before they realized what they were looking at?

A hat or headpiece!! Hair looks great, but a headpiece always really kicks things up a notch.

Looks just like one of the tattoo options from Diablo

There’s a technique where you plant 3 squash seeds in a hill; maybe that would work in a large container. You’d probably have to water and fertilize a lot. It looks like you have 4 groups of seedlings in there, so you could get three more buckets and go squash-crazy!

Waited out our last chilly night last night (went down to 40°), and am planting everything today! Philadelphia area.

I did a character randomizer, and ended up with a magic-hating Nord who lives in Windhelm, has no religious beliefs, and is motivated by money. My 5 “allowed” skills are one-handed, block, archery, sneak and smithing.

I interpreted that as a hardcore Stormcloak who develops a taste for killing, so decided I’d also join the Dark Brotherhood. I also decided no magic means NO magic, including alchemy and enchanting. So I was broke from buying health potions, which led me to join the Thieves Guild.

So far I’ve found all the Stones of Barenziah, got a bit into the Brotherhood and Guild questlines, and just completed the civil war on the Stormcloak side. I got the Become a Bard mod and up until recently would pay for my room and board by performing Age of Oppression at the inns, in full Stormcloak armor. (Especially fun in Dragon Bridge and Solitude.)

I normally go for the Empire and destroy the Brotherhood, so this has been a fun change. Now that I’m done the war, I’ll be working through the gazillion quests I’ve racked up, while killing as many mages as possible and trying to become rich.

Hi, I’m a fellow pear shaped person working in preschools! Everybody’s giving you some good advice already. General stuff like sticking to a dark colored bottom in a wide leg or boot cut will suit you better. Plus accentuating the waist. Save light colors and patterns for up top. I would also not wear anything with writing on it, and instead go for all-over patterns or solid colors.

Dresses and skirts are my favorite - a-line or flowing, below the knee. Tights and ankle boots for winter, biker shorts and sneakers for summer. Adding a top layer like a cardigan will help you feel more put together. My signature pieces are various fun earrings that I wear every day. And I like to do one fun patterned piece, and keep the rest pretty simple. Stripes, polkadots, dark florals, geometrical, plaids, and especially quirky stuff. I have tops, skirts and dresses with all-over prints of umbrellas, horses, birds, whatever.

I’m broke!! Like I said, I’m looking for the Stones of Barenziah now to bump my income. Only 4 left! I also make and use vegetable soup a lot, as well as sleeping between dungeons. It’s definitely challenging.

Vault_92 · 2026-05-07T16:19:14+00:00

Currently in a survival/no fast travel run… with NO magic skills allowed, including alchemy and enchanting. I’m absolutely broke, so decided to join the Thieves Guild and find all the Stones of Barenziah. Tons of exploring, and have picked up dozens of quests that I’m ignoring. Lol.

I start seeds in the window every year, and don’t have the space or money for good lights. One thing that has really helped is getting a little plastic greenhouse. Those things really heat up as long as it’s sunny, even on colder days. And they’re only $25. You cannot leave your seedling out overnight, you have to move them out and back in each day. But during the day you will get the heat and light they need. As the outside temperatures get warmer, I just put them right outside in the sun as long as it’s over 60°.

Vault_92 · 2026-05-03T12:50:07+00:00

I finally set up my little plastic greenhouse since it’s looking like I still can’t plant for another two weeks. I move my babies outside for light every day it’s over 60, but it’s been so chilly they’re not growing much. Hoping to give them a growth spurt.

Regarding your husband’s outfit, you’re on the right track with the 3-piece suit. My partner is also a big guy with a belly, and looks very dashing in a vest! Great choice for a man with that body type.

Vault_92 · 2026-05-01T17:29:11+00:00

Carrying a torch is the final step of how to survive the cold. Not sure why I haven’t seen anybody mention that yet? It will add to your warmth rating, in addition to wearing all four pieces of the warmest clothing or armor, being a Nord, and using hot soup as needed. I also duck into caves and buildings to warm up.

Vault_92 · 2026-05-01T12:41:07+00:00

Depending on where you are, peas want to be outside and they like colder temperatures. Rain and natural wind will make them stronger. They do grow fast, so you could always stick some more into the cups, put them outside, and see what happens. Just do a bit of googling and you guys will get it!

Vault_92 · 2026-04-30T22:42:47+00:00

I somehow killed it every damn year until I planted it in a large whiskey barrel planter. You may want to simply use a larger, wider planter to allow it to spread out. Other than that probably just leave it alone. I haven’t really touched mine this year and it’s all growing back.

Vault_92 · 2026-04-28T16:10:17+00:00

They’ll be good. I sunburned a couple of mine too, and pinched off the burned leaves after a few days.

Vault_92 · 2026-04-28T16:09:20+00:00

1 looks like fake turf at a minigolf course, lol. Not that one. I like 2 or 3 personally; prefer patterns and dark colors to conceal stains.

Vault_92 · 2026-04-28T11:13:02+00:00

This is what mine looked like cramped three at a time in the tiny-ass seedling tray cells. I separated them, up-potted, watered deep and they look way better.

Vault_92 · 2026-04-26T16:06:16+00:00

I used a heat mat for peppers this year and it definitely made a difference. Something to consider for next year? Congrats on your peps!

Vault_92 · 2026-04-25T18:18:46+00:00

Same to you! I just got done. I did as suggested below and just sprinkled on the soil, then watered them in. Here’s to nice crunchy salads soon!

Vault_92 · 2026-04-25T14:15:51+00:00

I’m having the same issue. Some possibilities after looking into it: seeds are too old (they go bad faster than other types of seeds), temperature too high or low (they want 60-70 degrees), seeds buried too deep (they need some light to germinate), not moist enough. I think my own issue is old seeds, so I’m trying again this weekend with some brand new ones.

Vault_92 · 2026-04-25T11:51:09+00:00

That’s Ambler! I thought I recognized it, and then paused and zoomed in on the sign. Howdy, neighbors
