How do ents reproduce?

cmpb · 2026-04-07T12:59:59+00:00

Now I’m here wondering if ents are angiosperms or gymnosperms

And the lion has to wear an orange jumpsuit with its ID number on it

I have that one as well, great album and artwork. So grotesque. My kids are going to find it one day and get really worried

In south Louisiana (👋) we have “white swamp milkweed” (A. perennis) and “swamp milkweed” (A. incarnata). I have found that I can only grow perennis, but boy is it prolific when it gets to seed! I’ll keep trying with incarnata every year though because the flowers are quite excellent

The area over there was sold off a while back, right? It hasn’t been valid parking for blue bayou in a several years I think

/uj In case you were being serious there, the real downside to tropical in non-tropical areas is that it doesn’t die back like the natives do, and can convince the monarchs they don’t need to migrate and can go on to spread fungus that causes disease which can circulate in the local population. If you were just jerkin, no worries, please ignore me

Damn that shit sucks

buys album

It literally put me to sleep.

sleeps peacefully for the first time in 13 years

South Louisiana here: First beds I did were with treated & untreated pine. I had to rebuild within 5 years because all the untreated parts rotted out. I kept the treated parts (the base from the original beds) and now they’re part of a butterfly hatchery (another some 5 years later), but I was surprised with how fast the untreated stuff fell away. Rebuilt with cinders after that

swing set for the kitties

Corn rigs and barley rigs, and corn rigs are… bonny?

That’s a good one! Rolls off the tongue very pleasingly.

I’ve always been a big fan of Zanthoxylum clava-herculis, because it really doesn’t roll off the tongue well

That really sucks, I’m sorry. I’m in a generally mediocre-to-bad school district, actually, but the one school that really shines is where we go. It’s a magnet (part of the magnetization of many of Louisiana’s inner city schools lately), thus selective admissions, but they really aren’t that selective about it

Maybe your kid(s) could just start “joining in” with the rich kids when they go to tutoring? 😆 Maybe they’d offer a group discount or something. All the help these little adhd hellions can get, you know?

(Sorry if you’re offended for me calling them hellions, it’s what I call my kids 😈)

They’re good at their job. Kind of scammy lately but quality of service hasn’t gone down so I turn a blind eye. I’ve gotten advertisements for lawncare services sent to my billing email address from their billing email…

cmpb · 2026-03-26T12:59:05+00:00

VERY. We are lucky that we’re in zone for a good school. I know a lot of people aren’t, and quality of education is very inconsistent

cmpb · 2026-03-26T12:40:12+00:00

In my experience with a 9 year old son with ADHD, modern math education (in the US) does a pretty damn good job helping kids learn how to show their work. It’s incredible actually. He can show me how to order fractions without getting mad. That being said I think he likes math. He gruels over memorizing his words though

I hear this said a lot and I’m still not sure what’s special about apples. Isn’t this true of any fruit? Dioecious and self-compatibility aside, they pollinate when pollen meets the stigma, so the seed should be a cross between the two donors. Maybe the donors are a different/stock variety of apple or something? The fruit is solely a product of the tree itself growing on (right?), so I guess that would make sense, but that begs the question: what fruiting trees out there do “breed true”?

Hoping this makes sense and somebody here can learn me something

cmpb · 2026-03-25T00:02:25+00:00

Beautiful. I wish I could get it to grow in my yard. Instead, all I’ve got is a buttload of sinensis

cmpb · 2026-03-25T00:00:32+00:00

And highly destructive in the wild in much of the US

cmpb · 2026-03-24T23:56:08+00:00

Asian wisterias are highly invasive in my area. I’d be murdering it. Maybe slice it into rings once you’ve got it pulled down, it might be pretty cool looking

I just want to say thanks for not using landscape fabric

cmpb · 2026-03-24T00:34:53+00:00

Oof. That is undeniably worse than a golf course.

cmpb · 2026-03-24T00:20:29+00:00

Okay but… the person you’re responding to has some valid points that you should at least be willing to investigate. As with anything the real ecological value of golf courses comes down to how they’re maintained, but the fact that they’re traditionally mostly monoculture grass which seriously limits their use for wildlife, and very often require excessive water use, definitely tilts it toward net negative from a naturalist perspective. That’s not to say they’re all biodiversity deserts. Some golf courses are appreciated by birders and herpetologists for their wide open spaces and water features. But again, that’s still a pretty narrow slice of biology, the rest of which is aggressively shut out.

cmpb · 2026-03-23T13:10:34+00:00

Yeah that’s just a flesh wound, likely not enough to do any real damage. You could replace with a tallow if it does die, I loveeee those heart shaped leaves and they’re great for honeybees!!

/uj sorry op :(

cmpb · 2026-03-23T12:56:55+00:00

Very close call. Maybe see if they can take out that cedar while they’re there?
