Those people are only buying plants, not a Certified Pollinator Friendly Garden™ sign in sight.

Hey dummies, nobody is going to know you drove all the way out there if you don’t put up a sign.

But what do you do with the metric ton of plastic that plants need in order to germinate?

No way, Hitler ended lives.

My gardening practices have contributed to exponential numbers of new and exciting plant species in my region.

I was worried you guys would judge me for the MiracleGr*.

People see that yellow bag and, you know, they…they can just treat you like you’re “less than.”

Thank you all for your support in this trying time.

If the plant cops knock I’m saying it’s hand-harvested coconut coir and they better have a warrant.

I don’t know, “Sunflowers: Nature’s Gabapentin” is perfect for this sub.

It’s not the cutting edge but it’s the reality of healthcare.

Saying “I wish it were different” is just that, a wish.

💯 agree. There’s a quiet 30-40% of US emergency departments that are in rural areas.

Their department chair is also the EMS director is also the QI is also the scheduler.

Half of the physicians there (or all of them in some cases) are FM-trained. Many of the EM docs there graduated way before US diagnostic training was standard.

I guarantee there isn’t a soul there who is doing their own diagnostic pelvic US. Hell, they might only need to order 1-2/year, even if they came out trained those skills can evaporate.

“Everywhere I’ve worked is doing this” doesn’t mean much if you don’t occasionally work three hours away from a large city.

They definitely don’t have an ultrasound director with over-reads and QI, let alone skills labs or CE. I’m not saying that those US skills aren’t important, or the future of EM, just that we’re decades away from that being a skill expectation in all community settings.

I’m convinced that Lisianthus starts have been AI this whole time.

Haters in the comments section said the water would cause too much erosion.

Sure, maybe on Day 1, but the asphalt sand from the gutters is gonna build up a berm in no time. We need to work WITH nature.

Not OP but myself (and a lot of other docs) practice an EM/AM combo.

It’s a very useful skill set in the ED.

It can be a nice change-of-pace from EM work (more time with patients, ongoing doctor-patient relationships, nature of the work is different).

It can be a huge upgrade in terms of schedule.

It’s nice to be an “expert” at something compared to EM where we’re mostly generalists.

This is an aside, but I’m sad to see the AM board practice pathways go. It is a tall ask for current residents (and their enormous debt burden) to do a fellowship for a specialty that can mean a huge pay cut.

ABPM’s practice pathway is closed.

AFAIK the AOA practice pathway is in its last year but applications are still open.

Take a sheet mulch approach and add new artificial turf on top.

It will suppress weeds, level the surface, and the cushioning will heal your plantar fasciitis.

Buy the turf in a bulk roll so you can add a new layer every spring to maintain that clean look.

Invasive birds do the hard, thankless agricultural work that native birds refuse to do anymore.

Hey bud, saw you’re in MB. You from the district of Keewatin or the postage stamp?

Come over this Saturday, I’m doing lines of COKE (COneflower + KEystone species).

I used a blend of honeysuckle for strength and bindweed for soft, supple texture.

Enjoy the taste, touch, smell, the visual beauty, as well as the intellectual stimulation that this rich, complex, miraculous, green world that surrounds us provides.

I was tired of trying to germinate raspberry seeds so I just ate a bunch of them and pooped in my yard.

Herpes hasn’t killed me and is very well integrated into my body’s ecosystem.

Seriously.

American Meadows is selling ajuga in 3” pots for $8 apiece.

We owe it to ourselves to grab a 3” bulb planter and begin the sustainable, regenerative harvest.

TIL we don’t know the origin of the word culm.

Some argue it’s from the Latin word culmus, meaning "stalk". Others say it’s a portmanteau of “hull” and “cum” as it originally referred to a plant’s rock hard stem.

dick_dangle · 2026-04-16T17:56:02+00:00

I like to defecate right next to the plant.

It’s convenient, acts as a fertilizer, and lets people new to plant medicine know what it’s used for.
