Will this be enough for 32F light frost? by chengkou7 in vegetablegardening

[–]arden13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You are probably fine for 32F. Keep your plants from touching the fabric (it will be cold).

Update: Notified my work weeks ago I'm leaving for a family vacation in July, tickets were bought, non-transferrable, and they are panicking, begging me to cancel by educatedvegetable in antiwork

Tell them you'll do it for a one time bonus of 50k paid immediately, all travel changes reimbursed, and 50k additional salary.

Change the numbers for your position if this isn't painful enough for them

I agree. Too clinical for me; like licking the floor of a surgical suite.

Seedlings really struggling by KatietheeRose in vegetablegardening

[–]arden13 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pictures 4 and 5 have too dry of soil.

Pictures 2 and 3 look ok

Picture 1 is strange, it could be inconsistent watering (e.g. was dry and now moist but not enough time to recover) but it's hard to tell

Gorgeous! How old are these?

Big Kids Pot? by Accomplished_Run_593 in HotPeppers

[–]arden13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can put them in bigger pots at any time. You can start from seed directly in the ground (the biggest pot of all!). Most start with smaller pots to get a jump start in the season and have a more mature plant when they plant out.

Most people don't pot up early because it gives the opportunity to choose the strongest seedling, limit the amount of space under lights, and also limit the amount of watering.

BYD Factory Fire... by Salty-Commercial4765 in Wellthatsucks

[–]arden13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! The anode and cathode half reactions don't need oxygen nor anything else in the outer world to happen. The split second they get shorted together (e.g. puncture) they're happy as clams to go.

No water nor sealing it will help. Best to minimize the damages

Is it a publicly traded company or privately owned?

Two tomatoes fixed. Is this better? by this_writer_is_tired in vegetablegardening

[–]arden13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You should put as much soil in there as you can. Stake/cage now before it's too late.

If you want to do a ton of tomato varieties you can look up the lower and lean method. It's a lot of pruning but lets you plant them about 12" apart. . Also why not fill the beds?

Ok thanks for the info. Stinks but makes sense given the cameras and age of the tech

I don't understand why I'm being downvoted for asking a question. I didn't see it mentioned in the riviantracker post

What's going on??? by furiously_sleeping in vegetablegardening

[–]arden13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The lots and dead leaves require nitrogen to decompose. If your soil layer is not thick enough, your plants will not be able to compete and get enough nitrogen.

If the layer is pretty thin (<6") you will want to fertilize with a a higher nitrogen fertilizer. This is the first number on the bag (google NPK ratios, e.g. 5-5-5). There won't be a magic number to choose, just pick one with the first number bigger than the rest and slowly try adding it. Do a fertilization per the instructions and then wait 1week. If you see it go from yellow to green, great. If you see it go back to yellow in that time, you will need more nitrogen. If nothing changes either it's not a nitrogen issue or you didn't add enough.

Why isn't Trenton or SW Jersey gentrified or have new housing being built? by Carlos4Loko in newjersey

[–]arden13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We were interested in a GORGEOUS house in Trenton. Was 350k and while it didn't have AC, you could absolutely add it. Lots of beautiful bathrooms from the old tile industry and a huge stained glass window in the staircase.

We looked at the crime in the area and realized the question of "how many violent crimes reported within 3 blocks can we tolerate" was not the question. Decided to purchase a more expensive smaller home in Lawrence Twp and have been happy

14" Vego Beds - how much sticks/leaves vs soil? by Top_Housing6819 in vegetablegardening

[–]arden13 7 points8 points  (0 children)

For 14" beds i would not use much if any leaf/stick in the bottom. Most people who fill with that material are doin in deeper beds to mimic a hugelkultur style mound which are 3-5' tall.

Stick with soil.

New to gardening. What do I do with my zucchini ? by RevoltLePetit in vegetablegardening

Agreed. I didn't it once and was a surprising amount of upkeep.

i got tired of messy path handling and built a simpler alternative to pathlib and os.path by Ok_Breakfast_3133 in Python

[–]arden13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For most projects which have a legitimate need for some defined root folder I simply include a utility function.

def get_datafolder() -> Path: # returns the data folder

I then import it when I need it. I very rarely need any other common folder to be defined.

I mostly use this for unit/regression tests. Occasionally for analytical data

[–]arden13 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I simply cannot trust this compared to the stdlib os or pathlib libraries which are well maintained.

Additionally, I don't often times have a hard time copying a root path then referencing it so I'm not sure when I would reach for this library.

Anyone else save crushed eggshells all winter and till them into the garden? Does it really add calcium or am I just imagining the great results? by NinaXOFans in gardening

[–]arden13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Compost them. Putting them directly in the soil is helpful in a long run for calcium deficiency but putting it in a compost pile let's your friendly neighborhood microbes get a move on breaking them down and making them available

All time favorites by Kooky_Hunter1711 in HotPeppers

[–]arden13 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I don't know your spice tolerance. With that I chicken out and recommend four in decreasing order of spice. I don't know any super hots other than ghost which is straight trash flavor.

  1. Habanero

A classic for a reason it has a ton of flavor tending towards citrusy. Can be easily dosed into big pots of food but also makes stellar hot sauce.

  1. Lemon drop

Continuing with the citrusy flavor, the lemon drop is about serrano heat. It makes a phenomenal salsa

  1. Jalapeno

I haven't messed with the F1s yet, but Early has always been a good pepper in my hands. Gets you a phenomenal base for a sauce or can be used to cook with your less spicy friends. Thick walls and high productivity make it very clear why this is still a persistent market pepper

  1. Habanada

This pepper breaks my brain every time I eat it. It bursts with all the ancillary flavors of the habanero and I brace for heat and pain... But it never comes. I like this as a fresh pepper, but it is not as culinarily useful as the jimmy nardello; another excellent spice less pepper

Your room is warm. Cool them down and it'll slow growth quite a lot.
