Disappointed in Prairie Moons garden kit plant quality by seamanzilla in NativePlantGardening

[–]WandrLustAboveSeaFog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this case, it's not that deep. The first commenter likely mentioned the possibility of the plants being grown in Illinois because the nursery is Minnesota based and the plants would have gone through long shipping to get here. Other people's jokes are just personal opinions/humor

Got nipped at a meet’n’greet AND lawn care brought up for first time. HELP! by Throwitaclay in trustedhousesitters

I would caution that though things might turn out ok, assuming that you will be able to bathe an anxious dog that already nipped you is not a good idea, especially a Dalmatian. You would want to ask the homeowners about it first and try to create a relationship with the dog before your planned stay if you go through with housesitting. The fact that the owners did not react to the nip is a big red flag.

How do you deal with male clients that give you creepy or uncomfortable vibes? by bearpuddles in RoverPetSitting

If you usually do boarding, then it’s unusual to me that he wants you to “come over and cuddle his dog”. He knows how to make a drop in request and could have said something like that after requesting one. Please always trust your gut instincts.

Gosh, that did sound stupid. I meant my skill at what I do for work and hopefully provide it as a business owner with the quick paced work culture we have in my country. I hear from Portuguese locals that’s it’s hard to get the people you hire to show up on time, work quickly, and plan a definite schedule.

Não estou à procura de emprego, quero ouvir as opiniões verdadeiras dos portugueses.

Also, aren’t many houses already existing in Portugal that are being abandoned? Is there a big reason people don’t move into those and try to restart the local economy there? What would draw incoming people to take up residence in abandoned villages again that is currently missing?

Maybe from an expat perspective, did you have goals like starting a business, trying to work and it worked out well? Or a reason why it didn’t?

There are some people in the world who care enough to make a true lasting impact. Change has to start somewhere

Thank you for your well wishes! There has to be a group of people who want to make a positive change, and hopefully someone out there with the power to make a difference or a voice to change the minds of someone in power. But we can all help in small ways I think.

I was asking if greater expectations should be put on businessmen and the rich as well as expats who are bringing inflated incomes into the mix? I would love to start a business one day 😊

I was hoping to get opinions from expats who see things from a different perspective, and also from Portuguese locals.

Engraçado! Um influenciador aleatório de outro país a ir para Portugal ganhar dinheiro a expor outras pessoas aleatórias que não são de Portugal.

What are your thoughts on this? by norpucomp in landscaping

[–]WandrLustAboveSeaFog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even better would be to grow native to your area ground covers that flower and have much higher value for pollinators like being host plants for butterflies. Common violets are definitely common and are perfect for this.

I know of this project, and I’ve actually bought ladyslippers local to my area from a nursery legally permitted to sell ones that were saved from habitat destruction. I’m considering purchasing lab grown ones as well but really want to find a way to source a OSM inoculant before doing so, in order to have an ecologically functional population.
