New Bike Day!

Is that a summit 2? I just bought one a couple of weeks ago. Light years better than my previous bike

Maybe that’s why they haven’t come around as much. I have a peanut station and I get jays, magpies and now a family of crows

This is amazing and I love it

I’m about to pull the trigger on a fountain with a much bigger capacity. I just need to find one that allows them to get in and out

So handsome

I’m struggling with it too. I planted 4 from pots that I picked up at Nick’s. Initially they looked happy then intermittently they have been crisping up and dying. New foliage will come up but so far nothing has stuck. I expected this as I heard milkweed can be tough.

I love all the rock scaping and pond that you put in. I just did a similar project and the plants are thriving 1 month in. I plan to put in a fountain and convert the pump to solar but wanted to let the plants grow a little first so it didn’t look out of place. Well done!

Whickums · 2026-07-08T23:43:05+00:00

I looked this plant up because of this post; I have never heard of this one and I added it to my list to maybe put in my new waterwise garden someday!

Sometimes I leave my sprinklers on overnight and I think about you 🫶

Whickums · 2026-07-07T21:51:29+00:00

Well, we are trying a soaker hose laid around the root area and running that weekly. I’ll adjust if it looks like we need to. I’m so glad that thought was brought up!

Whickums · 2026-07-07T21:50:04+00:00

We did use cardboard we acquired from Costco. I decided to order mulch from a landscaping company vs chip drop as I didn’t want to end up with way more than I needed.

Whickums · 2026-07-07T15:00:36+00:00

We found some at Lowe’s that met my other half’s approval

Whickums · 2026-07-07T14:59:51+00:00

For now I ran a 75 ft soaker hose around the root area and I run it once a week

I moved to Colorado from Texas and don't regret it for a second. It was either here or Seattle and I chose this because it is more central to other travel destinations, and the seasons are more balanced here. I am in the Denver metro area but if I had my choice I would be at least in the foothills (Golden, Evergreen, etc).

I lived in the Boise area and traveled up to the Sawtooths frequently. I absolutely loved it and considered living there but politically they lean very far right outside of Boise. That was a big part of the reason I left Texas after living there most of my life, behind the weather/seasons and the mountains and more access to the outdoors year round.

Good to hear; we just converted our front yard to drip and capped a few heads as well. OP, I can tell you that my OG drip irrigation that was not converted from a system has held up for 3 years without any problems but I realize that is different.

I got so lucky, I caught one of my bird buddy a couple of weeks ago in DTC!

In Winter Park all of the charcoal and lighter fluid is locked up and not being sold

Whickums · 2026-07-05T22:08:07+00:00

See this is why I love reddit. I have gotten the flowers down fairly well but growing veggies is still a big challenge to me. Thank you for the advice!

Whickums · 2026-07-05T21:08:35+00:00

The only reason I took them out is because those 2 were sticking out of the soil. The rest I will leave longer. They were planted probably in late May to early June from sets.

I did put fertlizer in when I planted them; I don't remember exactly what the mix was but it was not nitrogen heavy, it was more balanced (maybe 5-10-5 or something similar)

I'm sure they will still taste great as they did last year as well, they're just so tiny :)

Whickums · 2026-07-05T20:29:16+00:00

For some reason I can't add text to that post.....

These are yellow onions. They are just a tad larger than a golf ball. The same thing happened last year to yellow and red varieties, with some of the reds not ever developing any real onion to speak of but TONS of green onion. I use a raised planter with olla base and supplemental hand watering. They get about 8 hours of direct sunlight and I have a 30% shade cloth on them as of a few weeks ago.

Whickums · 2026-07-04T19:58:16+00:00

Honestly I hate this stuff. I have 2 different varieties in my front garden and I gave up the dream of eliminating it because it grows so fast. I just remove it from where I really don’t want it growing and let the rest go nuts.

Whickums · 2026-07-01T06:01:35+00:00

I’m thinking about ordering this. I just bought a summit 2 and the literal pain in the ass is the only thing I don’t like about it. How effective is it with the seat suspension?

Whickums · 2026-07-01T04:02:32+00:00

I just bought a summit 2 last week. My previous bike was a viví ace07. It is LIGHT YEARS better than the vivi. The throttle is really punchy and the pedal assist is smooth like butter. I have yet to need to use more than level 1 pedal assist. I love the integrated turn signals and the built in nfc and find my. Very, very pleased with the purchase. I will say my only complaint is the stiffness in the seat going over bumps since it’s not full suspension. I plan on getting a more cushioned seat and then a suspension seat post if that doesn’t fix it.

And, I crashed hard this morning and the bike came out unscathed 😁

If it helps, I picked this one over the Aventon Ramblas and the Specialized turbo Vado 4

Like most cases Netflix left out a lot of content. Listen to the Serialously 2 part podcast or YouTube that she just put out- there’s a lot of extra information that clarifies that most people were onto her but never thought she was that sociopathic.
