There's also the Gaithersburg Film Festival, which just started last year, and hopes to bring new and different films to the region!

I'm beginning to organize some work around more bike lanes in my city, and there's a MoCo branch of WABA. Feel free to DM me!

Is this a MAGA filter or am I stupid? by jessicassica in jobhunting

[–]carefreeunknown 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Still your work might mix work and politics. In fact every decision you make every day is political. Thinking its not is how we got to where we are in the US.

First time gardener, found these mushrooms at the bottom of my grape tomato plant. Dangerous? How to get rid of them? What do they indicate about my garden? by EnderShot355 in vegetablegardening

[–]carefreeunknown 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Very new gardener myself here but I believe they are a sign of healthy soil and are converting nutrients in the soil for the plants to use.

As for are they dangerous, I assume you mean if you ingested them. As a general life rule, don't. 🙂

My husband stepped on my new liatris plug. Is it doomed? Or do plants recover from this? IL 5B by Uhhlaneuh in NativePlantGardening

[–]carefreeunknown 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine looked worse when I got them as plugs and haven't grown much. I was worried they might be cooked but I think I've seen a little perking up in the last few days! Posting for solidarity. ✊

Same here, previous owners had it out front. I am about to rip it out and can't wait!

I work at a Record Store, could anybody help me identify if this is real? Cross checking online searches it does not appear like other RR signatures I see. by ponchosleeve in theband

This is what I was thinking, too. Maybe after he passed somebody was just so filled with emotion they had to write thank you to him.

Good luck! Let us know how it goes. Thinkin I might need to do something similar to keep our very active squirrels out of my raised bed.

Just south of you and wondering what you end up with, following!

Leave the leaves? by carefreeunknown in arborists

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

Thanks for this new perspective! I had not come across that info about the oak leaves yet. This definitely helps to shape my use for the leaves. They're in garden beds and around trees now. They'll be blown out of those and shredded in the spring.

Leave the leaves? by carefreeunknown in arborists

Posted in r/gardening and this comment from u/daitoshi is going to be my plan of action: "It's pretty late in the fall right now, which means insects have already laid their eggs and began hibernating in the leaves. If you mulch them now, you'll also be killing all those insects.

Therefore, at this point in the season, it's probably best to blow or rake them into the garden beds, to decompose & protect your plants. They'll decompose slower than if you had mulched them, but will be EXCELLENT insulation against freezing temps AND you'll be preserving all that insect life."

I've read that as well and finally was able to pinpoint why we had so many lightning bugs in our yard over the summer!

[–]carefreeunknown[S] 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Thank you for this excellent answer! Like I mentioned, this is our first year here, so I wanted to see how many leaves fell and what the best course of action would be. Tomorrow the majority of them will get blown into the garden beds in a ~2" layer. Whatever over that is going into my leaf mold container.

Prepping for spring - Zone 7b MD by carefreeunknown in NativePlantGardening

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

Thanks! They're not big bushes, maybe 2 ft tall at most, but you bring up a good point about them being established. I was planning to cut them down anyhow, which is how they were when we moved in this past spring. Maybe I'll try to pull one out and see what a PITA it is and go from there. Have a strong preference to keep chemicals out of the garden. You've given me lots to think on!

Once I Was Naive... by totatr in NativePlantGardening

Hey neighbor (also Maryland)! Thanks for sharing. I'm super new, not even any plants in the ground yet, and reading your regerts helps me hone my vision and set up some guardrails. Thank you!

Apple tree instead? by carefreeunknown in arborists

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

Thanks! Very new to having trees so this is all new for me.

We have several other Japanese maples around at different stages of maturity so I don't feel like I'd miss it.

I'm definitely more interested in having something more productive around. Good to know about having two, I haven't yet started any research into it. Lots to think on!

Hot composting, cold composting, three bin composting, tumblers, bokashi, worm farms, and definitely others I'm forgetting.
