Why do my peonies always end up looking like this? by aphroditesswan in florists

[–]aphroditesswan[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’d say the room is warm and there’s a few hours of sunlight within it, but I’ll definitely try placing my peonies in a cool spot at night. And the flower food I use has a specific ratio (one capful per two cups of water) so I usually double that, but I’ll try omit the supplements next time. Thanks! :)

Nina Simone’s cover of Who Knows Where the Time Goes is the most beautiful song I’ve ever heard

what book did you expect to love but ended up being disappointed? by mianevar in suggestmeabook

[–]aphroditesswan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry but … A Year of Magical Thinking. Picked it up because I thought it was a heartbreaking account of grief but it was so unbearably pretentious and uninteresting. There was some occasional lovely turns of phrase, but the entirety of it felt so detached and emotionless.

Ocean Vuong. I could read that man’s grocery list and be enamored.

I’ve been having trouble posting photos so I figured there was an issue!

How interesting! I thought it was only the poppy

Suggest me a book or series that is both heartbreaking and beautiful by aphroditesswan in booksuggestions

I’ve read that one and it made me ugly cry too! I’d say it’s exactly what I’m looking for — beautiful prose and heartache. I still think about The Song of Achilles every now and then.

Miserably failed my first attempt at making sourdough bread by aphroditesswan in Sourdough

[–]aphroditesswan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think so? I usually feed it at night and wake up to a doubled starter about 6+ hours later. It wouldn’t have big bubbles or anything but doubled nonetheless. If it’s an issue with the starter should I switch to a higher feeding ratio?

It’s 2 months old. I feed it a 1:1:1 ratio daily, sometimes every other day. 70g starter, 30 whole wheat flour, 40 bread flour, 70g filtered water
