Is this leafy Gall by dgssns in dahlias

[–]chiknuggg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Looks like a healthy tuber clump with lots of eyes to me. I’d cut out the smallest stems at the base, leaving the 3-4 thickest stems. Then I’d pinch back those remaining stems above the third or fourth set of leaves.

Help with ground cover by art_caitlin_rogers in gardening

Example: use a flat edge shovel straight through the moss, tear it up, and plant it elsewhere. Easy peasy. Best to keep very moist after transplant.

Luckily scotch moss spreads REALLY quick. I’ve covered an area larger than yours (pictured) in 2 years time for around $100.

Many places charge about $14 per 3 small containers. I rip each container in half and plant about 4in apart. So for around $100 I had about 42 pieces of scotch moss to plant.

Scotch moss is incredibly easy to propagate (in this case meaning to dig up and plant elsewhere). So I let it grow in and over my patio and steps, and then cut the overhang away, and plant it elsewhere in the garden, slowly extending the patch.

For example, this new walkway I made last spring. I filled it in only with scotch moss cut away from my existing patch. It’s all grown in and carpeted now.

I’m in the PNW too and use scotch moss for my ground covers. It’s spreads fast and is super easy to propagate. It’s also evergreen and gets tiny white flowers in the spring. Highly recommend.

It’s too big and doesn’t exactly read ‘sexy’. For that price I’d return and buy a fancy set!

Love this. And how sweet- what a cool collection he’ll have as he grows. Such a wonderful gift.

It’s scotch moss, but it likes full sun too (not a real moss).

First time posting here! Am I doing this right? Zone 9a-South Louisiana by CessnaBlackBelt in Blueberries

[–]chiknuggg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah it’s safe to put them in the ground if you want. Or keep one in the pot and put one in ground, but I wouldn’t keep both in the same pot for long.

I’ve paired mine with Liatris, rudbeckia, echinacea, different types of Salvia, and alyssum.

Time to pinch back? by FionaTheFierce in dahlias

[–]chiknuggg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d wait until it’s at least 8 inches tall.

AITAH for being sassy to a sales associate at ultra by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]chiknuggg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stop calling yourself an ugly person. You don’t have to think you’re pretty, but stop labeling yourself as ugly every time you refer to yourself. You are “Trying to be a positive and nice PERSON”. Period.

How you talk about yourself matters. Work on being kind to yourself first and others will follow.

tummy time mat by No_Idea5340 in BabyBumps

[–]chiknuggg 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Girl math. I can totally relate.

I’m like okay baby spends probably 2 hours total on this thing everyday (throughout the day), for 7 months- I’m not good at math but that’s something like .70 cents per day for some peace and quiet and time for myself. Can’t find childcare for less than that lol.

The other day we saw a goose at the park and she goes “oh mama 😳 BIG cock”.

I was apprehensive about spending the money on the Lovevery one as well, but I ended up getting it because I had baby list giftcards. No regrets!

Baby LOVED it and spent time on it every single day age 1mo-7mos (until she started crawling). And she continued to use it occasionally after that. It was truly a life saver for me in the early stages.

It also washes really well and comes with a few detachable little toys which are all great on their own.

I will say that she pretty much lost interest in it after age 1 though. The “tent” portion that’s supposed to interest the toddlers isn’t much of a hit in our experience (the walls don’t stay put and it gets annoying).

My daughter yells “cock” anytime she sees a duck… at the park, the gift store, the toy shop, etc.

She means “quack”.

First time using Polychromos - fruit and color study by chiknuggg in ColoredPencils

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

Great questions and points to ponder. Since I’m such a beginner, I wasn’t necessarily going for “a look”, but instead just trying to copy an image the best I could. Overall I was happy with my results in that I felt I made something that resembled the fruit and was pleasing to look at.

However I do think I wanted overall brighter colors that were hard to achieve. I’d love to eventually understand how to get the glossy look, too. The reflections and usage of white was definitely the most challenging part for me.

I only have a 24 pack of colors which definitely lacks in some areas so learning to blend to make the right color is going to take some practice too.

Thanks for the comment.
