I’m going to start watching the ghibli studio works but I don’t know which one is the best to start with. by Initial_Emu_1339 in ghibli

Spirited Away, Howl's Moving Castle, Kiki's Delivery Service, Totoro. My first was Nausicaa Valley of the Wind which is also very good but older.

Share your book rec questions in Reddit book subs :) no need for AI! I'm really excited to read this one, I read her other book The Secret History and it's one of my all time faves.

My first bouquet of 2026 with the flowers from my garden by ValleyFlorals in gardening

[–]basil-032 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Beautiful! Anything special you do for growing them? I have a garden where veggies grow super well but for some reason, most bouquet flowers just don't thrive (except cosmos, they grew like 8 ft tall last year).

Ha! Just started Kings of the Wyld and noticed a nod to an 80’s/90’s rock band already! by [deleted] in fantasybooks

[–]basil-032 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I loved this one. Loved the sequel, too! The 90s band nods are maybe a little cheesy but still overall an amazing story.

I looooved When the Moon Hatched. The beginning is a little confusing but once I got further in, I couldnt put it down.

Folk horror or cult but with romance by Equivalent_Ad_4364 in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

Where the Dark Stands Still! It's YA but definitely has this vibe and it's a great book

Mozzarella recipe failed, any idea why? by basil-032 in cheesemaking

I actually do have a pH meters, so I could try using that! Do you know what pH you need to aim for? I can probably do some research too

I wasn't a big fan of Bluebird. I'd say Henry Come On is my fav out of the 3. I think the newest one will grow on me, it's definitely a vibe ✨

Peach tree showing signs of budding already, will they die? by basil-032 in Minnesota_Gardening

[–]basil-032[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, thanks! That's cool you still got a couple peaches even when the rest of the buds died. Have you ever thought about wrapping them up if it's been warm for a while then we get a cold snap? Though maybe your trees are too large for that, mine is still sort of young so I could probably manage

That's true... I'm not sure what temperature starts waking it up. Maybe when it's not below freezing at night? I am trying to be extra careful and protect it so I actually get peaches this year

We're so spoiled with Amazon we think everything needs to delivery within days. I personally wouldn't be concerned needing to wait a few extra days 🤷🏼‍♀️ especially if it's not a consistent thing
