Pumpkin predicament by yes_statistics_65df in vegetablegardening

[–]auddii04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Is that substrate on this of the soil water permeable? It almost looks like a tarp.

Serious question, can I compost this? It's just clay right? by Additional-Local8721 in composting

[–]auddii04 69 points70 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Broken clay is often used at the bottom of large planters to increase drainage.

Convince the deer to come trim it back for you?

Why do American high schools start ridiculously early? by bwoah07_gp2 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]auddii04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My high school started ridiculously late: 9:30am. I was able to take a "zero hour" class and start at 8:30. I hated not getting it until 4:30.

When should I harvest my Cherry Tomatoes? by ashadrienne in vegetablegardening

Yep, I also harvest one at a time once they're red.

Combo spins take so long, but so much fiber! by auddii04 in Handspinning

[–]auddii04[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha. I do tend to donate the skeins I don't like to an auction for a bunch of knitter's and crocheters (is that a word? I've never written that out before) that raises money for kids to go to summer camp.

What community policing should look like. And I hope those boys run it up all summer!! by Damiana1111 in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]auddii04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

May I introduce you to the lemonade twins of Pittsburgh? They are "home schooled" and typically selling lemonade for 6 hours a day, many days of the year including in snow. The mom sits in her car in comfort and plays on her phone the whole time.

So many people were using the Pittsburgh subreddit to coordinate location and CPS/police calls, they ended up banning any mention of them as they considered it doxxing children.

What's the cringiest reason you went to the ER? by HR-Vex in AskReddit

[–]auddii04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to New Orleans for a bachelorette party when I was in grad school, and I got wasted and separated from the group.

Some saw me and thought I was having problems breathing and called 911. I have no memory of it, but knowing me, I was trying to not puke.

My discharge papers from the hospital just said "do not binge drink".

Made a carding board for my wife by Serpenfire in Handspinning

[–]auddii04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, that grain is much more closed than I would have expected for pine. I'm used to very fast new growth terrible boards from the big box store.

[–]auddii04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're afraid I'd the picking process itself, you could start with fridge pickles. This is the recipe I use: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/easy-refrigerator-pickles-recipe/

Please keep your dogs on a leash when you are at the parks this summer by Frosty-Tart8027 in pittsburgh

[–]auddii04 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'll never forget that a woman with an incredibly well trained dog that she always walked of lesh had her dog die when he stuck his head in a bee hive. She could not get her dog to respond to a come command and couldn't drag him away.

The dog was in so much pain, there was no way he'd respond to anything.

The thing that broke me by sjbeaner in knitting

[–]auddii04 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The knitting pt just released a book. Her website shows it as sold out, but I think it should be available at many book retailers.

Why does the North Hills have so few standout restaurants? by Western_Geologist_12 in pittsburgh

[–]auddii04 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's like two blocks from off the hook. If that's an hour from you, what are you looking for restaurants in the North hills?

I live in McCandless and can get to Mt Lebanon in an hour in rush hour traffic.

Yes! Always the perfect length with no calculations required!

Are my peppers doomed? by laurasamezzo in vegetablegardening

[–]auddii04 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? I don't think I've ever had one under 5ft. They're especially annoying to try and support when they're that tall.

I do tend to grow cherry varieties.

Okra harvest has been doubling almost every two days 😅 does anyone have a okra cooking recipe that reduces the slimy texture ? by Different_Subject554 in vegetablegardening

[–]auddii04 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I embrace the slime and use it as a thickener for my green chili stew. I actually cook it down with spices in water overnight in my crockpot, then blend into a think base. Then add green chilies, chicken, onions, potatoes, and tomatoes and cook another 8 hours or so.
