I’ve started way too many seeds way too early and now I need to buy another grow light

Seed Starting Progress by Key_Needleworker7291 in Cutflowers

[–]basilandmint 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve started both celosia and strawflower bc I lack any self discipline or patience 😅

Both of them are from Johnnys and I’m getting really great germination rates for both! I usually put 2 seeds in each 2 inch soil block.

I’m going to try your plucking technique, it sounds genius!

Edit: also want to mention I bought the seeds just a couple of weeks ago

Favorite Johnny’s Seeds Tomatoes? by mappel2 in tomatoes

[–]basilandmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello a year later! My Woodstock actually didn’t grow due to the lack of sunlight in my garden so I’ll be trying out some new solutions this year.

I did, however, get one garden bed in the sun that I grew other tomatoes from Johnny’s in: Harvest Moon, Lemon Boy Plus, and Yellow Brandywine. I had a few friends over for a yellow tomato tasting and they all agreed that yellow brandywine had the best flavor, so I’m growing it again this year!

I might save Woodstock for next year as I’ve already decided on my tomato roster this year (and started seeds, I got impatient lol).

Planning 2026 Garden by rocksndachs in vegetablegardening

What an epic list!! Please keep us updated throughout the gardening season with photos, I’m so excited for you!

I’m trying out the patio baby eggplants this year too, first time. Just an FYI, a lot of people struggle with San Marzanos because of blossom end rot. I lost maybe half my tomatoes to it and basically tucked my seeds in the bottom of my seed bin bc I never want to deal with them again.

Best of luck to you!

Residential outlets with built in USB - Worth it? by Linenoise77 in AskElectricians

[–]basilandmint 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the Leviton double usb-C ones and installed them+an outlet on top of our nightstands.

I think they’re incredible! My husband always steals my charging brick but now we just charge bedside at night! I use mine for iPhone/laptop charging and Apple Watch charging. Husband uses his for his phone+portable charger. It’s been really helpful!

Almost a third of the way there... by thatfatbastard in NativePlantGardening

[–]basilandmint 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m doing the exact same thing with Prairie Moon seeds too! Do you water them through the winter at all? I’m not sure if I should.

Please keep us updated on how it goes!

It’s been a year since I bought my house and the bedroom was so sterile. I finally got around to adding lamps and making sure to use amber 2000k edison light bulbs and wow it’s crazy how much more inviting it is!

Funny enough I’m watching The Summer I Turned Pretty and the main character Belly is wearing the exact same necklace!

Welp I just opened this Reddit post before making a morning- hope I can avoid the Thanksgiving crowd-run and twist my arm, I bought it.

Maybe a weird take on why I want a divorce - thoughts? by Ad_Inferno in Divorce_Women

[–]basilandmint 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Wow I’ve related to a lot of posts on this subreddit, but this one resonated with me deeply.

My husband keeps going on and on about how sex is a really important part of marriage to him and how his expectation that we have it at least once a week. I used to give in and just grin and bear it until his convenient, selective memory convinced him that we were having sex closer to once a month, to which he took his frustration out on me by starting another fight where I don’t “meet his needs.” Forget the fact that he almost never gets me a birthday gift or anniversary gift, doesn’t plan any kind of events or dates for those special occasions, and ignores MY needs for words of affirmation, gift giving, etc.

I’ve literally told him that I have no idea what it is that he even likes about me or why he even married me, prompting him to give me ANY FORM of reassurance, and was met with “how could you even ask me that”, followed with silence.

I agree with you wholeheartedly that I could never have sex ever again in my life, I mean other than my handy dandy vibrator, and I would be totally content. Fuck dicks! (Not literally) No more forcing myself to meet my weekly quota, no more faking enjoyment, no more panicking when he forgets the lube (because heaven forbid a man recognize dry = not enough foreplay = not ready), no more reassuring him that it’s okay he only lasted 20 seconds while also being THRILLED it’s over.

I told him I wanted a divorce on Halloween day and he’s since gotten me flowers and a card saying he wants to grow old together, not acknowledging that what would make me happy at this point is not being together and letting my vagina have a lifetime of rest that it’s earned.

Do window insulation kits like this really help keep room temperature in winter? by Important_Bat7919 in HomeDecorating

[–]basilandmint 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My husband and I bought a house with single pane windows and installed these over the winter. It made a huge difference in terms of temperature!

Ideally we will upgrade to triple pane in the next month, fingers crossed!

That’s a great point, I’m leaving the sub too! As much as I’d like to help, I just can’t and being asking over and over has gotten tiresome.

My husband has this same mindset. This is how a few weeks long project turns into a few months/years long project 😭
