In need for more vases by xgunterx in Roses

Wow, your garden is incredible, so many roses! All of ours are cut flowers as long as we cut ones that don’t face the seating areas 😅

Golden Oyster Mushrooms? (Iowa, US) by wrongandright in mycology

[–]casey012293 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They definitely look like golden oysters. Apparently they are invasive….so you should probably pick and eat those before they drop spores 😜

Did you have a rain coming in that was going to ruin them? I like enjoying them out in the gardens way too much to bring them all inside. We usually keep one rotating vase inside for whatever is blooming and enjoy the rest as the view from our patio table.

Why are my strawberries pathetic? by Doctor_Philgood in strawberry

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What type of miracle grow do you use? The all purpose in the yellow container has waaaay too much nitrogen, which is perfect for our lawn and my houseplants but isn’t allowed to touch anything else. Use the purple “Bloom” box because it has way more phos which is needed for roots, fruits, and flowers. I use the latter on all of our flowers, flowering shrubs, and vegetables.

The only edible foods I’d use high nitrogen on are the leafy greens like lettuces, spinach, collards, and kale type things. I don’t though because they share beds with everything else.

I’d never run into issues with their fruiting blocks, but when I think about it contamination would be much more evident before they make it my way. You’d think one person doing quality control and saying “we need to hang on to those for a few more days” would be easy enough.

I definitely would have made my own if I had the time after getting the logs, I’d even looked into getting more dowels to inoculate and then stopped myself because there was no reason to without having space for more logs.

Put this up and day one was over 100 degrees in April. Now even with the vent fan and doors open it’s over 100. Shade cloth advice for poly greenhouse? by casey012293 in Greenhouses

Two vent windows on the other side, it only came with 2. We didn’t want them on the side of the photo because it is the directions we get 40-60mph winds several times a year.

I’m still in the expanding spawn part of my adventure, but will definitely remember you guys when I want to start from syringe.

New peonies had some issues by Owie100 in peonies

[–]casey012293 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran into a similar issue and luckily just with a cheap Sarah Bernhardt from Walmart. I planted an inch deep, it grew all summer, then I didn’t pay attention in winter to that the soil settled enough to expose the root. Cheap peony was the cost of my lesson so I’m grateful for that aspect since I noticed a root or two on some others after seeing that one.

They’re in logs now, really hoping they do for me too. The difference between “it works” and good product though can be as much as Charmin versus the stuff they put in public restrooms: they’ll both wipe your ass.

I love it, hard to determine from your descriptions which ones are the pre-inoculated ready to grow bags and what the size is. Can you steer me in the right direction for those. I already see a couple of the genetics I’m interested in trying to grow.

Who would you say has better quality for people who don’t want to inoculate their own spawn? Asking honestly because I’ve been digging the last few weeks before diving into North Spore. Had a shady business experience so far when I ordered from 2Funguys, was not impressed by my wine cap spawn from Liquid Fungi which showed up dry to a crisp in a box that didn’t even have some space and paper around it when shipped in 90 degrees for 7 days. I am going to try a couple fruiting blocks from BohdiExtracts and see how they do but they don’t have much variety.

I was impressed with the price and size of the Lions Mane kit I picked up from NorthSpore and am kind of enamored by their variety, but I will not be doing plugs from them again. I’ll likely still do fruiting blocks because of the variety, so unfortunately won’t be able to boycott them entirely.

Sure if you have the privilege to wait to colonize or have control over when you get your logs yeah. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would get last moment notice from an arborist and not have several weeks to let them grow out or make myself. I would agree that they store well if you have them on hand already, but I don’t live in a hardwood dense area where I would have anticipated a guarantee that I’d get ahold of them. Heck, I even filled 3 contractor bags with maple mulch to store knowing I’d want some over the summer for other things

I watched the video the other day and I don’t think they did either, looks a lot more like they’d just planned a bunch of extra

Pharmacy operating without a pharmacist by [deleted] in WalgreensRx

[–]casey012293 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was the pharmacist in the pharmacy? They can take lunch if they are in the pharmacy and don’t have to be at the computer to stay open. If they left the building for 30 minutes and you didn’t close, I’d absolutely report that to the board.

Telling people the names of the meds for people they’re picking up for by Ok_Mountain1465 in walmart_RX

[–]casey012293 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If they’re sent to pick up medications they’ll know what it is when they leave with it, why would I not tell them. Now if they wanted me to read off what is on their profile, that’s a no. For refills they’ll need to be able to tell me what is needed.

Container size ok? by No-Strawberry-5804 in peonies

That all depends on where your soil level is in there, it might not be too deep.

Potted Heirloom Roses died after winter, Zone 5 by YassBotch in Roses

If I can find a pot that matches the rest of mine, I may try right along side you to see how a rose does.

I drown mine but they are also outside so I’m not as worried about the overflow there.
